Exporting hour and a half project for a DVD

[Steve Eisen]

The answer is in the manual (very detailed). Export a reference movie drop that file in Compressor and choose a preset for DVD.

This tutorial should help with settings. (Slightly dated, but still good info)

Thanks guys. Ken Stone’s instructions look to be very thorough. I will look into using Compressor, but have not used it much in the past. I typically export shorter (3 – 5 minute projects) as a MPEG4, H264, and pump the bit rate to 5,000 and have great results with that method. Would that method still work well on a 90 minute piece, then drop the file into iDVD?
