lower your bitrate!! 🙂 try to keep your bitrate below 6.5 with AC3 audio. Good luck

this may sound stupid, but how do you reduce the bitrate. Is it in my export settings from final cut, or in the dvd authoring program?

When you export from final cut do it through compressor.

Thanks for the feedback eric, perhaps you have one more little trick up your sleeve.

I have exported the video as an mpeg2 using compressor to keep as much quality as possible, but when attempt to import it into DVD Studio Pro it says it is not a file formate that is supported. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

cheers.

mmmm…your doing something wrong. All I can say is read the manual carefully. If your new to authoring it takes some time to learn the ins and outs.

When compressor comes up you need to set your bit rate then use AC3 audio to import into DVDSP
