FINAL CUT PRO MOVIE FILE over MPEG 2
Last week I exported my film along with other videos to import into DVD Studio Pro. All videos were exported as QUICKTIME MOVIES. The videos were saved, however, as FINAL CUT PRO MOVIE FILES.
This weekend as I was preparing to important all videos and assets into DVD SP, I noticed that along with my FINAL CUT PRO MOVIE FILES, there were new folders with the same vidoes saved as MPEG 2 and AIFC Audio. Where did these files come from and why are the showing up days after exporting theM QUICKTIME MOVIES?
Which should I import into DVDSP? The FINAL CUT PRO MOVIE FILES are much larger. Before, I’ve always worked with MPEG 2 files and also did my exporting with Compressor, but I’m having problems with Compressor.
Thank You

DVDs are created from encoded MPEG2 video files and either PCM or AC3 audio. Those files are encoded from QT video files by the user in an app such as Compressor, or encoded automatically in DVDSP if the the QTs are brought directly into the app with prior encoding to MPEG. You discovered the files that DVDSP automatically encoded from your QT video files. You can trash them and simply makes copies of your final DVD if you wish.

Just bring to DVDSTP the MPG2 and the AIFF. If you bring the FC movie, DVDSTP will convert them again in MPG2 and AIFF and you will end up with those files duplicated.
