Awesome - it actually works as advertised.

I really like TDA thus far. But I am not going to be surprised if I
run into a major bug somewhere.

What will surprise me is if I don't run into any major bugs. As I
mentioned I have run into a major bug in VRD which is unfortunate
because it otherwise seems to work, albeit a bit clunky.

>There is no rendering going on with TDA,

Then what you are saying is that the pre-rendering I had to do in MF4
is not necessary in TDA and the only thing happening when I do the
final composition in TDA it is the essentially the same as doing the
final composition in MF4 with pre-rendered clips.

>except the audio in certain circumstances.

What are those certain circumstances? Dolby stuff?

What is left for me to learn? Up to this point I am pretty much able
to do everything I did in MF4, at a considerably easier effort. I used
to cringe every time I opened MF4 knowing it was going to hassle me in
some time-consuming manner.

This morning I plan to conduct those tests I mentioned earlier with
the two clips that crippled MF4. I will import them to VRD to get them
conditioned for DVD use and take them from there into TDA. I will
report on what I find in detail.
