Can I use FCP to burn .m2v video and .ac3 audio to set-top playable DVD?

[Ben Scott]

as long as movie is not longer than size of disk it will not recompress if set to dvd video and you drag in m2v and ac3 files

if using mpg1 it will recompress, dvd studio is the only answer, it will make dvd with mpg1 files

try mpg first and then it asks what the sound is, can help having same name

remember to make no menu from options

I red carefully this thread as I’m trying to put together the 2 files as well. I have Toast 6 Titanium but it says it needs 5.6GB even though m2v file is 3.5GB and ac3 file 300MB. Is there any way to solve this problem not having DVDSP? Thanks

Hi Federico,
How long is your movie?

Thanks Rafael. Well, I post this message as I found by myself solution even though a bit long. Using Toast I don’t burn DVD immediatly but “save as disc image” then use this file to burn. Hope that will be helpful for others. If there’s any faster way pls post it.
