    In Compressor, what preset do I use to make a DVD the best quality? How do I set the settings to make it look like a professional looking DVD movie? Some presets I’ve used, have made the mov blurry and downgradish looking. What can I do to fix this?

    I would use MPEG-2 60min High Quality Encode in Compressor.

    But a better workflow is always export non-self-contained from FCP and drop straight into iDVD using the “Best quality” encoder setting, or into DVDSP, and use DVDSP to encode according to your preferences. (Sorry, not a DVDSP expert.)

    No DVD I make is over 60min. I find iDVD gives good results.

    Hope this helps,
