  • FCP and Compressor Settings for DVD

    Posted by David Mayer on August 21, 2015 at 12:14 pm

    My clients still want SD DVDs. I wish they didn’t.

    These settings work all the way to Simulator in DVD Studio Pro but the DVD player will not even recognize the disk.

    The settings must be wrong somewhere, right?

    Footage is Quicktime from a Canon C-100.

    FCP Export – Apple ProRes 422 NTSC 48 kHz Anamorphic

    Compressor “Create DVD” default

    to DVD Studio Pro Build and Format

    Thanks,

    Are you using DVD-R media?

    What happens if you skip compressor, and just do it all within FCP7?

    Will OTHER DVD players recognize it?

    I’m using good media, I have done this before a million times but had to reinstall
    everything.

    No DVD players will see the disk.

    Final Cut to Compressor to DVD Studio Pro is the best way I know how to make a
    standard definition DVD.

    I think it’s a setting somewhere that I’ve got wrong.
