Not too sure what you mean by this as I can only use Mpeg2 for the final DVD. But if you mean what codec will it be rendered to before encoding to mpeg2 then the complete project uses Lagaryth lossless codec which creates huge sized files, but with all the different encoding stages that this edit has had to go through, i haven't lost any quality at all. so far the edit has taken over 2.5TB of disc space. The Mpeg2 encoding will be done using CinemaCraftEncoder as this is the best software Mpeg encoder there is out there but will take about 24 hours to do a 9 pass encode, but the results are well worth it. I did a couple of test encodes this week: 1 for a DVD-9 and another for a DVD-5 and to be honest there is almost no noticeable difference in quality, which shows just how good CCE is .
