Thanks Mojo. For the CC, I ended up having 4 or 5 different settings that I used for the whole thing as needed. I used MPEG Streamclip to crop and resize to 16:9. Editing was in Final Cut Pro with the Photo JPEG codec at maximum quality. It's not lossless, but it's the best codec that my OLD Mac can play/edit in real time. Exported from FCP to Compressor for MPEG2 encoding using best settings and then authored in DVD Studio Pro.

I don't think I'll be doing a whole 16:9 SW. Not being 2.35:1 is the biggest regret I have about TSOSW. I only did the 16:9 crop because, at the time, I didn't know how to work in the pans/zooms and stay 2.35:1. I now know how to do it and Empire is 2.35:1 and looks great. If I can ever get time to finish the authoring, you all will see, LOL! Thanks again for the compliments, Mojo. They're nice to hear....
