Codec issues…Too big for DVD
I need to use a suitable codec for video and DVD playback (home DVD player). I’m having problems using any type of codec that doesn’t pixelate the video and jpeg’s/tif’s. I need to stick it onto a DVD and can’t get it small enough. Currently, uncompressed it is 114GB. Could anyone help me, it’s urgent that I get this DVD out today…or it’s my… Thanks.
Sorry guys, posted to the Communications forum when I wasn’t supposed to…fat fingered it in the wrong place;)

Eventually, it must be compressed to MPEG-2 if you want DVD playback. You have no choice on the matter.
In your DVD authoring tool, can you set a low enough data rate to fit the files on the disc?

I’m exporting straight from AE. Is this wrong? I was making it an .avi, then using the codecs available. I’m used to just transferring straight to analog tape not DVD’s. I forgot DVD’s can only accept MPEG-2’s. thanks.

I render animation codec QT movies out of AE (through the render queue) then drop into Apple’s Compressor for MPEG-2 encoding.
Rendering MPEG-2 out of AE isn’t wrong, but I don’t know how the quality holds up, or if you get enough choices regarding data rate and quality.
Sorry I couldn’t be more help …
