Exporting HDV sequence for DVD
Hi Everyone.. (Newbie technophobe here).
Might sound a simple task to you guys but I’m having trouble exporting a HDV sequence to Quicktime movie. (Best possible resolution) to burn onto an SD DVD (PAL). My Sequence settings I think are correct: (See below). I think the footage was initially digitized into FCP at the wrong frame size 1440×1088 from a Sony Z1. Should it have been 1920×1080 as someone has said?
I was wondering if this could be part of my problem and could/should I resize the clips in the sequence to 1920×1880 and if so how would that be done?
Sorry for being such a numbskull, but any help or advice on a” step by step” process through the settings and export would be greatly appreciated to a beginner editor. No amount of lnstruction-reading has seen me succeed and I’m beginning to lose heart.
Either way, this is a great forum and a mine of useful information to all using FCP. Keep up the great work
Best regards.

The size you have is correct.
Just export the finished sequence directly to Compressor for the MPEG-2 compression.
It’s likely to take a long time to compress, and if you want to speed up the process, you could export the sequence as a DVCPROHD Or DVCPRO50 QT and compress that… but theory would state a double compression isn’t as good, but it may be acceptable, and it’s likely to be faster.
I’d just export the native sequence myself, and take a powder..
