Exporting to DVD
I tried searching the forum for a quick answer but I can’t find anything. I have a newer version of Final Cut Pro that doesn’t seem to have an mpeg2 codec, only an mp4 i believe. So I have to do my exporting to dvd with compressor. The problem is that compressor takes forever, and there have been a couple times that it just fails completely during exporting. Are there some other options out there, maybe buying a mpeg2 codec or something?
Thank you in advance. -

Try exporting as a Quicktime reference movie, then drag the reference movie into Compressor running as a standalone program. It will work about 10 times faster.

Thanks, but it did not work. It is taking me about 6-7 hours to export a 80 min video in compressor. There are no effects added to the video, just straight from capture. I am running a G5 too.

Please detail the steps and settings you are using. Also what codec is your editing timeline?
There are some settings you might be tempted to crank up thinking it will give you the “highest quality” that are unnecessary and will cause the encoding time to be glacially slow.
