PD8 doesn't seem to have a option to disable the animated thumbnails, thus burn times are excessive. I used to be able to diable in previous version to make a fast burn, but no longer.

I'm tring to figure out what some of the preferences actual do:

-Enable File Processing to Speed High Definition Video, General Tab, I selected it and my output video was very clear, photos filled the screen at 16x9, but all videos (not actaull recorded in HD) were shrunk down on the height, but I had full width on the tv. So does this just force out to be in HD, thus any video imported thats not HD will appear smaller?

-Enable animated Interface, when unchecked, it renders my burn files to a folder unusable when I try to copy the folder to a disc with PP5.

-Reduce Video Blocky Artifacts (Intel SSE4 Optimized), does it just clean up the video at a price for longer initial burn/production time?

-Add Thumbnail Index (Menu Option), no idea what that does, I get an index wether its on or not.
