    Compressor and Burning to DVD

    Posted by Erin Kuntze on March 2, 2009 at 8:14 pm

    Hi there,

    I am trying to compress a Quicktime movie that is 15GB so that I can burn it to a DVD (standard DVD size is 4.7GB). I have Compressor; does anyone know what setting I should use to burn this 15GB movie down to 4.7 GB? Alternatively, I can save it using QuickTime Player, but again I don’t know what settings to use to compress it down.

    Thanks!
    Erin

    How long (in hours and minutes, not inches or meters) is your movie?

    The length of the video is 1:20’50 (one hour twenty minutes and fifty seconds)

    Choose a ‘DVD 90 minute’ preset, adjust to taste, if necessary.
