if i leave it alone and then size it after i export it, wont that effect the quality even more? than if i just did it right away? or is there a small difference?

You should be editing in HuffYUV or some other lossless codec, so the only quality difference will be a smaller (or wider) resolution. Resizing doesn't affect the quality as much as lossy compression does. The only quality issue would be with effects that you use in the video, which may look a bit different after resizing. If you plan on using any weird effects in the video, I would suggest resizing before editing, but if not, it doesn't really matter.

another question i am having problems with

do you guys deinterlace your videos?

cause im really not understanding this concept and i have read the guide, (some pages more than once)

I always do as much cleaning as possible, including some form of deinterlacing before editing so I have a nice crisp picture to work with, don't have to worry about framerate changes, and can hopefully do as little cleaning/filtering in post-production as I can get away with, to preserve the clarity of any effects added by my editing.

The only exception where you wouldn't need to deinterlace is if the DVD itself is progressive and flagged for pulldown, but that's rare.

It's pretty important to keep reading the guide stuff until you have the idea of what to do for deinterlacing various sources pretty clearly in mind.

Due to the fact DVDs can be encoded differently, it can go to the extent of helping you decide what framerate to edit in, a pretty major factor in making things work.

argh thats so much to read!lol

does the dvd being 16:9 animorphic widescreen mkae a difference of how to deinterlace it?

when i did it glory's way it changed the height, maybe the horizontal too dint get a chacne to notice that

The general rule of thumb is to do your deinterlacing first thing, before any resizing or cleaning that could mess up the scan lines.

It is possible to resize horizontally, like from 720x480 to 848x480 without screwing it up, but if you mess with the vertical resolution, the 480 part, when dealing with a typical NTSC DVD, you're going to mess it up so it can't be deinterlaced.
