    Hello

    So i just got finished editing a theatre show for a job. Ended up being a little over 2 hours long. Just wondering anybody know how i can render this out so that its small enough to fit on a dvd but still looks good enough to watch on a large tv. Also it would be preferable if the rendering didnt take too long as i am already stretching the deadline.

    Export a QT using Current Settings. Take that into Compressor and use a High-Quality DVD preset to encode. Then use DVD Studio Pro to make your DVD using the files made by Compressor. Search the Cow for the specifics how to do this. I’m afraid you’re stuck with the rendering time. The only way to decrease that is get a more powerful Mac and for some situations a more powerful graphics card.
