Ok so Im making this DVD of a show and I have multiple angles of video sources.

As I was reading the rules on TTD of encoding video files to author on DVD i was freaked out when I saw that video from "VCD/DIVX/MOV/ASF/ etc werent allowed.

So I started asking some folks who know more than I do, and one person told me that a digital videos are lossy by nature but if I have the raw files then thats as close as I can get. And this is true in my scenario all my files are straight from the folks' cameras, so in that case I am allowed to use the avis, .movs and motionjpegs (mpg but thats what its classified as in Gspot)??.

Heres a link of the sources that im 'unsure' about: http://img252.imageshack.us/my.php?i...eospecsnp3.jpg

Another thing is that im editing all of the footage in Adobe Premier Pro 2. So my final lineage would go: raw footage (for each one) > TMPEG ENC > DV AVI > Adobe Premier > Out to the DVD format (I beleive MPEG-2/VOB) and authored finally.

But is that too many conversions? Is that a no no? I really hope not because Im almost done my work in Adobe (and I may even consider taking to to DVD lab bro to add interactive angle selection capabilities, so that would add another point in the lineage)

Phew! Ok so thats my project and hte bottom line I guess im wondering here is, how do I know what I can use with respect to raw footage formats and specifications, encoding and authoring.
