FCP taxing my wits
I have a finished project made using FCP suite 3. I’m having huge problems getting it through compressor so I can burn in Toast. Anyway, i’m wondering what the likelihood of sending a quicktime self contained movie 90 minutes long into adobe and burning in Encore. I don’t have any markers in it at this point so I am unsure of my menu options. Is there a desperation workflow here I could use. If so, I would consider spending the big bucks and jump ship from FCP to Adobe. My computers are both new Macs.

I’m not a MAC person but as I understand your question, yes, loading a .mov file should not be at issue to then build markers etc. also not a big deal.
You are going to SD (DVD) correct? If so, Encore is fairly easy to grasp with numerous tutorials here and at Video Cop etc.
Not sure if En is still operable on the Adobe CC platform, if not numerous downloads are out there from Safe Harbor and other non hacked vendors.
I also believe (could be wrong) that CC allows you monthly usage license, so you can drop the subscription should you no longer need it.

I really appreciate your response. Yes it’s a bluray. Are the features the same sd and bluray? Also, you mentioned taking the self contained into Adobe. Which program specifically? You mean into a Premiere Pro timeline? Thanks for helping out. A little help can go a long way.

No, just launch AME, drop your QT file on that, select a Bluray preset, adjust as needed.

Thanks guys. One more trip to the well here. My workflow has not included quicktime self contained movie before. When I made it though, it is about 100 gig. Will I experience quality issues doing it this way, putting the .mov into AME and adding chapter markers and burning in Encore? I haven’t tackled Premiere Pro yet, but getting fed up with all the workarounds to make FCP do what I need. Thanks in advance.

Well, it’s one more generation is all.
You have to export from FCP a high quality digital master. Keep this forever with redundant backups.
Then, you compress for bluray.
To skip that generation loss;
Edit in Pr, export from the sequence to bluray files. (But still export a high quality master for your files.
