Artifacting

[John Pale]

For best results, you might want to avoid iDVD. Downconvert and MPEG-2 encode your video using Compressor, then author in DVD Studio Pro.

If you need help with Compressor settings or with authoring, post your questions in the DVD Studio Pro Forum.

Hello,
The quicktime movie I have looks great can I use compressor on it since my original files are offline?

[John Pale]

Yes.

Are you monitoring on a production monitor or your computer?

Amen on avoiding iDVD. For best results export your video from FCP using current settings and use compressor to prepair the video for DVD SP.

Also you can NEVER judge the quality of your footage by using a computer monitor. You have to have a properly calibrated broadcast monitor for that.
