Final cut to iDVD.. cutting off part of the picture.. why?
I’ve edited my piece (10 mins) Iin HDV 1080/60. It exports to quicktime just fine, full frame 16:9. When I use iDVD to burn it with a menu, it cuts off part of the frame. This may be a dumb question but is it because Its high def and you can’t put High 16:9 picture on a regular DVD?

Ideally, you want to export a self contained Quicktime out of final cut (File > Export > Quicktime Movie) and bring that new file into Compressor.
Once in Compressor, find the “DVD: Best Quality 90 Minutes” preset. There are 2 settings involved. One that makes an MPEG file and another that makes an .ac3 file, which is audio. Since your video is only 10 minutes long, I would load the MPEG setting into the Inspector window and navigate to the Quality tab. Change the settings to CBR with a data rate of 7.5 to 8mbps.
Click submit and let Compressor do it’s thing.
Once it finishes exporting. Bring those 2 files into iDVD. I would take the time to learn DVD Studio Pro though…

Here’s a great tutorial that might help. Great info on Bit Rate and Audio settings.
