  Compressor and Format. This is probably an easy one!

  Posted by Cameron on June 1, 2005 at 4:07 pm

  When creating quicktime movies that will be used on a DVD what type of compressor should I specify?

  These are a few of them that are listed:

  Animation
  Cinepak
  DV-PAL
  DV/DVCPRO-NTSC
  DVCPRO-PAL
  Mpeg-4
  Sorenson 3 video
  and about 10 more…

  Also what is the best format?

  the options are:

  16 bit color
  24 bit color
  32 bit color
  etc.

  Thanks!!!!

  none of those will work. You need the one that says mpeg2.

  if you have 6.5 on the pc yes, I think you can.

  I don’t think the mac version supports mpeg2 output yet.

  You could export it as an ANIMATION file then compress
  that with an mpeg encoder software.

  Thats How I do all of my dvd menu’s.

  If you have apple compressor, it should have an mpeg2
  output module.
