"MeBeJedi" no im not trying to combine anamorphic and non-anamorphic video. Im useing widescreen LDs THX face set. I think the freeze has some thing to do with the bitrate. with different footage. I can do another dub with my DVD recorder that can fix the problem. I have try clonedvd and dvdshrink to see if a transcoder would fix the bitrate problem no good. I think a encoder would but i might lose my Closed Caption subtitles as well.
