DUH!!!
Thanks Tony, I never concidered the codecs issue! I have all the proper settings and the encoding works as it should when doing MP3 at custom settings...Trouble is, I am using an office computer (I am trapped in Bosnia after all) and guess what? It is still running Win95...I guess I will have to go hunting for some newer codecs now and try again. Forgot to mention that I am running the upgraded version of MM v5. God bless Bosnian copyright law (or the lack thereof ha ha) John
