Editing m2v files after conversion in Compressor
This is an in-between question on FCP and Compressor. I have a sequence that I need to export to DVD. Due to time constraints I have a version exported and coded already, but some video elements may change. Is there an easy way I can edit m2v footage without having to export and encode the entire sequence again? Or am I stuck doing it all all over again?

There is no easy way to edit m2v. In fact, you can not. Re-edit and export the new sequence.

Got it. Follow-up question:
Is there a down side to breaking up the sequence into various scenes. Then laying each scene in DVDSP as a separate track? This would allow me to just export those scenes that have video changes, taking advantage of the time I have now to export the work in progress.

There will be a noticeable stutter if you use separate tracks in DVDSP, as the laser will have to jump to a different physical place on the DVD. There is no reason why you cant lay the separate clips all on one track, however. I do this all the time.

That will work for me. That’s kind of what I meant. Rather than the entire film being a single rendered video clip, each scene can be its own separate clip but being in the same track there will be no noticeable audio or video jumps, flickers or glitches?

You can use MPGTreamclip to get rid of the elements that you want to change.
Really fast.

“Should work fine….when you build the final dvd, they are all combined into one VOB file. I have never had a problem.
