FCP output to LitOn 5005 DVD recorder

[Pdr]

Hi Robert

Do you mean you want to author a DVD-Video, or just store footage on a DVD-R?

Final Cut Pro won’t do either, you’ll need either:

FCP outputs video and audio through firewire. Whether the LiteOn can utilize firewire would be up to the LiteOn. If it has a FW input, I would assume that’s what it’s for.

Peter,
Thanks for your reply. I was hoping to play a finished product off of the timeline in FCP, and record it onto a DVD-R. I thought that the firewire might send an output to the Lite On 5005 like it does to our DV decks. Just wishful thinking?
Thanks again,
Robert

I haven’t tried the Lite On, However most firewire standalones
will not rec’d from computers. Only decks…IE; the Panasonic and Sony Models…

Good news: The Pioneer 320 and 520 will not only rec’d from FCP
time-line…They will also play into FCP Non-Copy protected DVD’s

And Sharpe has a model also. Can’t remember the model# B&H carries it.
It will also rec’d from FCP Time Line….

I have a model DVDRHD04 stand-alone DVD burner. It has the Ilo brand name but is made by Liteon. Although it has a Firewire input, I cannot get it to recognize the FW output from FCP either. Too bad too. I bought it just for that purpose. I wanted to burn a DVD right from the timelne rather than going thru compressor or StudioPro. Sometimes I just need a quick DVD for client approval and I don’t want to go thru all the trouble of encoding it in the computer. I’m going to get around the problem by using my old, unused Canopus ADVC-100 Firewire converter straight from the computer and into the DVD burner via it’s S-input. Should still look reasonably good that way. This deck also had a hard drive built into it. I’m hoping to be able to output from the computer right to the hard drive and then burn the DVD from that thus freeing up the computer for other work.
We’ll see how it works.
