Hey, hoping some people who hang around might chime in with some opinions. I'm working on some minor restorations to ANH, and decided for what I wanted to do, the best thing was to rip the DVD VOBs to M2V, then save the shots I'm working on as a Targa sequence, with some basic HSV boosts in VirtualDub. On top of that I've rotoscoped some new elements, and created some mattes I'm using to adjust regions within the shot. I'm compositing and colour correcting it all in Vegas as it's what I'm most familiar with; though I do have access to a Combustion desk, as well as TMPGEnc. The problem is, what Vegas spits out as an Mpeg file is garbage - over saturated, with unacceptable artifacting. Can anyone recommend a workflow which achieves a decent quality MPEG2 encode from a still sequence?
