  90mins video to fit on CD-ROM. Help

  Dear All, We have a problem! and are seeking your much needed advice.

  We have produced a video that runs for 90mins in total and our client would like the finished product to be on CD. I realise that this is a long duration to fit on a CD.

  We are using Final Cut Pro 4.1.1 and we would like to ideally export it on .mpg, is this possible?

  I have tried for ages to find the right settings that produce good quality video and audio, but without success.

  It seems everytime i try a different setting, the file size is too big, and the video quality is bad.

  Well, you can’t fit 90 minutes of even CD AUDIO onto a CD.

  You can’t expect to cram 90 minutes of high-quality video AND audio on the same medium.

  You can burn a very high quality DVD of 90 minutes of material,
  but you must suffer with a small-sized, low-resolution images, ragged motion and reduced-quality audio if you want to fit the CD maximums.

  Here’s a link on how to export small QT movies from FCP video:
