Creating a dvd
I have a couple of problems that I am sure to find help in this forum.
1. I have a 45 min. project, that is just going to film festivals and the like, so a menued dvd is not necessary. Am I correct in thinking that I can export to QT self-contained, straight to Toast, or do I need to go thru compressor.
2. Now one problem I have is that on a larger screen, there is a slight flicker. Why I don’t know. But I heard that perhaps a self contained movie will fix that somehow. Perhaps being put back into the time line and outputted again. Could that fix it?
Thanks

I prefer sending my self-contained Quicktime through to Compressor to get the MPEG-2 video and audio [go for the Dolby 2.0 as it saves considerable bit rate] – before sending it to Toast. More importantly, I’d customize the settings in Toast such that it’s set to ‘never reencode’ [don’t want it to undo all the hard work Compressor did!].
Based on my experience, Mux-ing it in Toast gave me more artifacts and poorer compression.

Thank you Kai,
I have also tried in toast to not let the maxium bitrate to go past 7.0. I have not looked at it on a ntsc television yet, so I don’t know how it works. I will try your and look at them side by side.
Thanks again,
Tony
