Best Export Settings for best DVD quality
Hey peeps;
I’ve read many posts on this site and on others, or maybe I’m just not looking hard enough, but timesawasting; So here’s what I’ve done thus far.
My project file is 58 minutes long. I first exported as an H.26 format with ACC audio, I know this is for web only format, but i didn’t know better. It compressed to 5.2 gb then i burned it through idvd.
Outcome? Quality sucked for tv use.After doing some research, i Next exported my timeline straight through compressor, set it up as Best Quality 90 DVD, set my target location, and hit submit. Now I have 2 separate files on my desktop.
What the hell do i do with these? I tried opening them through idvd, but no dice.
I don’t have dvd studio pro. even if i do, would have to sit through a damn tutorial, which i dont have time for.
So. What other option do I have with these two files after compressor?
Please Help!
thanx

Compresor has create your video ( MPEG2 ) and audio files … those are the two files. I;m not sure how IDVD works , as we use DVD studio pro here. But I can give you this one hint that may help. When you drop that Video & audio file onto the DVD creation timeline, they must have the exact same names… not the file format’s , these will be different , but the file names must match exactly. Hope this helps.

You didn’t mention what format your original footage is??
Capture and edit in the highest quality u can. Do not use H.264.
Export from your timeline using “Current Settings”
Make a ref file. Saves HD space.
Drop this ref file into compressor.
Create the A/V DVD files.
Import them into iDVD.
