What other software do you have? Sorenson? DVDit or ReelDVD?

Install sorenson if it isn’t already…
Export a QT reference (right click on your sequence, send to>encoding>sorenson)
You’ll get a dialog box – select your path (click set) and check your settings (click options)
Click OK – Avid will create a QT reference and open Sorenenson.
In Sorenson (depending on which version you have, you’ll have a little ‘wrench’ icon or go to tools and filters (I think…) make sure auto de-interlacing is OFF.
apply the MPEG-2 options, and keep your data rate around 4500-5000kbs, 6 I-frames (for high motion), or 12 I-frames (for talking heads) and program stream
Squeeze it!
It will put your file in the same place you put your QT ref, so pay attention to where you sent it out the Avid.
You now have a .mpv file and a seperate audio file.
I use ReelDVD (it came with Avid) and Adobe Encore to burn the DVD.Also, check out Avid’s forum site (https://www.avid.com/exchange/forums/thread/4408.aspx)
There’s a wealth of info – scroll down to the ‘How to DVD’ section.Jon
