FCP to iDVD problems
Hi
I exported a DV NTSC 16:9 uncompressed 8bit film to iDVD as a Quicktime movie.
When playing it back, all the motion render effects have severe interlacing problems, but on my external monitor in FCP it looks fine.
Any ideas? Is this a common problem with iDVD? I would use DVD Studio Pro if I had it!
Thanks
Mark

I’ve been in your position before and had to use iDVD with FCP. My advise would be to double-check your sequence settings and make sure it’s set to the DV anamorphic preset. DOn’t change the compressor once the select the preset.
Render whatever needs to be rendered and then export a “QuickTime Movie” leave the export setting to “current settings” and uncheck the “make file self-contained” box. This will give you a smaller QT file that will reference all of your media and render files when iDVD encodes it.Good luck,

Just forget iMovie. You got not control in the process of compressing. Use Compressor or any other application to make your MPG2 and an authoring application.

Why are you working in 8bit Uncompressed and then outputting your video through iDVD (a consumer application at best!)? I echo what was said above, namely, export FCP timeline via Compressor. Encode to mpeg-2 (which allows you to control your data rate, frame rate, GOP structure, filters, field dominance, etc.) and author in DVD Studio Pro or whatever pro application you have access to.
