Re: Can't read PapaJohn's PRX file

I expected to see a big difference between the MM2 default profile which has
a 2.1 Mbps bitrate and the profile I create and the DV-AVI format I used with
pinnacle. I am new to movie making but based on some of the threads I've been
reading I thought the DV-AVI format was going to knock my socks off. Is the
fact that they look similar in Media Player 10 because it displays in the
same format no matter what the format of the file is that it is playing?
