  DVD Studio Pro + Incompatible .movs?

  Posted by John Eberhart on July 16, 2008 at 3:37 pm

  I’m trying to author a DVD of a product for the company I work for, however, after exporting the freshly edited footage to Quicktime, only half of the files were “compatible” with DVD Studio Pro.
  I exported them all the same way, and sequentially. The only difference is (well, at least that I can tell) that the ones that I am able to import into DVDSP are in the dimensions of 720×480, whereas the “incompatible” ones are (for some reason) 1280×720.
  If this is a problem with Final Cut (let me know) then I may cross-post this if applicable.

  Any insight and/or help would be much appreciated.

  Thanks,

  John E. Eberhart

  DVD is 720×480 only. Those QT didn’t import because they are 1280×720. You should be using Compressor to Encode your QTs – NEVER just drop a QT into DVDSP and let it doing the Encoding.

  Take them into Compressor and encode 16×9.
