hello avid big brains
I’m trying to export a .mov to burn to a dvd (4g blank dvd)
the sequence is 4 min long
it’s 1920 x 1080
frame rate is 59.975what codex do i use?
single pass or multi pass
best quality?
what size should I export it as (1920×1080?)
I can burn using toast or idvd
I also have compressor if need be
thanks in advance

In my experience most DVD authoring programs require pretty specific settings for the video they burn to DVD and therefor they will often recompress whatever video you put through them. So your best bet is usually to send it out of the Avid ‘Same as Source’ and let your DVD software compress it the way it wants to the first time. That way you don’t end up compressing the file twice just to conform to the settings your DVD authoring software likes.
Also, keep in mind that unless you are putting HD content on a normal 4Gb DVD to be played back on a Blu-ray player that handles both formats, your 1920×1080 HD footage will end up downconverted to SD and letterboxed (or maybe centercut).
