Hello!

I have a few question - maybe some1 can help me a bit.

1) Is it safe to use 9100 bitrate for video only when there is a audio track with 256 kbps? When doing so would the DVD work on all stand alone DVD players? What is the bitrate u use when make an half an hour of video and audio DVD?

2) How do I make my menus look better from the aspect of quality? I make menus using After Effects and Photoshop and the menu doesn't look like hollywood menus - I'm using pro coder 2 to make the Mpeg2. Is it safe to use 9100 bitrate when decoding menus? Maybe that'll fix the problem?

3) When I'm make a normal still menu in photoshop - It there a filter or something I can do to the file so it'll look better on the DVD? I'm using DVDLab Pro 1 and the menu looks great on Photoshop but after the compiling it doesn't look so good on the DVD.

4) About subpicture! Does any1 know a good guide on the internet for that? I want to make a button with two colors changing and not only one color mask.

Thanks a lot for any help :)
