Well, the conversion of the .tod worked. Praise the Lord! I have converted it through Power Director Express, to the resolution of 720×480 (.avi). Adobe Premiere Pro 1.0 can’t handle HD, so with this lower DV resolution I can edit my interview of Dr. Singh!
This is great news, because it means I can start working on video with what I have now, even though I’m not doing HD yet.
I hope to learn more on how to use Blender (www.blender.org,) the open source 3d content creation suite. I may work on something in Blender soon. If mastered, I would be able to do title effects, 3D animations, compositing, and CG FX for my films. But until then, my options are somewhat limited, at least in the area of 3D animations and beautiful CG FX.
Once again, any film ideas are very welcome. We’ll see what comes…
Ciao,
Thanks for listening,

P.S. I have also found out how to handwrite subtitles for Adobe Encore. Now I can work on the subtitles for MIG (Miracle In Gansu play to DVD,) and work to complete the project. (Previously I had tried to write the subtitles in Encore, which caused the Encore file to get corrupted. I recommend writing subtitles in a third-party app (like Notepad,) by hand, and then import them.)
