Shown I this is sucessful I would really like to have you do the Spanish 
sub titles. The video I am useing is in Black and white with no sound. 
It is  excellent.

#1  one of them is an AVI file the second one is mp4. I was able to 
convert  the mp4 to mpeg-2 be saving it in short sections hopeing to be 
able to have a good stable hard copy on a DVD. I was unable to put it 
alltogether and render or save it.
     2 music and voice over
     3 correct I would like to get it on dvd but then put it on the 
Internet after refining and adding voice And captions if you will do that.
      4 yes
      5 yes
      6 yes
       And I had someone try to save it from Premeir in Xp and it 
crashed there too.          Thanks Doug
