  Burning a DVD from Avid Media Composer/Sorenson/Avid DVD

  Posted by Michael Uss on June 25, 2009 at 6:38 pm

  Dear anyone who can offer advice,

  I haven’t looked far and wide yet, but the software I have:

  Avid Media Composer (just got a new computer that can run it finally)
  Sorenson Squeeze (newest upgrade version of that program)
  Avid DVD by Sonic

  I shot on a Canon XH-A1 in SD 16×9 at 30p frame rate.

  It’s 25 minutes of footage, I just wanted to lay it to a timeline and make it look good on DVD for someone to look at.

  I used a reference file, both native and 16×9 output, but when I put them directly into Avid DVD, they always end being square.

  My question (finally) is with the programs listed above, what’s the best settings (workflow) to get a quality standard def DVD?

  I’m not a great DVD author, I need to learn this part, any help would be appreciated.

  Thanks,

  Michael

  You can just use the default DVDit settings and click burn DVD, assuming you did not edit anything. If you have any precomputes, you stil have to mix it all down as Avid still shows bad interlacing in reference files.
  You can skip sorenson either way.
