  • Creating DVD through iDVD One-Step

    Here’s a question that neither the FCE or iDVD forum can answer so I’ve come to the pros. My output in FCE is Print to Video for use in a TV program. However, often I need a DVD also but have been unhappy with quality. It occurred to me that iDVD One-Step might be the answer since it’s direct…no compression. So, tried running, through my camera, my Print to Video final product through iDVD One-Step to create a DVD. The image quality was outstanding…was I exited. No audio, however. I realize that One-step was not meant for this…it’s meant for raw unedited video from camera. If I can get audio using this trick, I would have a great DVD. Any suggestions?

    I sometimes use iDVD to make a DVD by exporting my timeline onto the desktop as a Quicktime, then choosing “OneStep DVD from Movie” from the file menu in iDVD (then just follow the instructions). This can take a little while as the iDVD programme has to transcode the movie into MPEG2 (which is what DVDs are encoded with).

    Are you happy with the quality of the image on the DVD?
