Export for DVD help
I just finished a large project editing in FCP studio and am looking to export them to iDVD. I have my main project (which is quite large) and three small 10 minute project as “Bonus Features”.
When I export using quicktimes of these 4 projects, they are way to big to fit onto the DVD. The main event quicktime alone is 14.79 GB.
Is this where compressor comes into play?? And what is the best way to fit all 4 quicktimes onto one DVD?? I will just be using iDVD and am working on a new Mac Pro. Thanks. -

Not if you want to use iDVD. Just start iDVD and drag/import your QT movies into it. iDVD will decide the bitrate itself and encode your 4 movies so that everything fits on an SD DVD.
Can I ask why you don’t use DVD Studio Pro for this? That’s where Compressor comes into play. It will give you much more control over the encoding process and in addition will allow you to compress your audio to the DVD standard AC3 file format which is much more compatible with consumer DVD players.
