Motion Menu Question - Rendering Video

I'm toying with the idea of a motion menu. I've looked over boon's excellent guide, so I understand how to go about it. My question is about creating the short clip. I'm using Womble. The clip I am using is a montage of short bits of scenes, and there is a crossfade/dissolve between each of the short bits. I think I remember reading on here, that Womble fades often result in bad quality. I will still try it out and then render the motion in DVD Lab Pro and see what the result is, but just curious if there any other recommendations for a program to use to made the video I will be using for the menu.

if you're cutting it in womble, thats fine, just dont render the video in womble. frameserve to another encoder (I'm pretty sure womble can do this. womble users please chime in).

When I finish up my full fanedit, I'm assuming the same thing goes - i shouldn't render the movie in womble? (im referring to hitting the "red dot" record button and not the "DVD" button).

if you've applied effects and crossfades, and other sorts, then you dont want womble to encode it. If you have just straight video cuts, then let womble do it - thats the one upside to womble, smart rendering. it won't encode it if you didnt do anything to the frame, just copy the stream.
