HD Video
Ok, I shot an event last week in HDV using my Canon XH1, edited it in FCP and now need to deliver it on disk. How do I get the HD video out of my computer and onto disk?
PLEASE HELP!
Sincerely,

Disc as in HD?
Out put your finished master using “Current Settings” Self contained and drop that file onto a Hard Drive. Unplug hard drive and carry to destination.
Disc as in DVD Video?
Out put your finished master using “Current Settings” and drop that file into Your favorite compression software program. Create DVD compliant files. Import files into your DVD program, burn disc.

Thanks Chris. When I said disk, I should have been more specific. I have to deliver it on DVD.
So when I finish the export from FCP, I’m going to use Compressor 3.5 to make the DVD files. If I use DVD : Best Quality 120 minutes (b/c I have 92 min of finished video) will I get HD quality? Do I need to create/burn to Blu-Ray?

On DVD you will get only SD quality.
To get HD you need to burn on blu-ray, which is possible from FCP7 and if you get a blu-ray recordable drive.
I know that with the Toast 10 Titanium Pro burning software, you can create HD on DVD which will be readable by a Blu-ray player but not dvd player, and you cannot burn more than 1 hour of HD video on one disc. -
Gerald,
I’m rendering an HD video thru Compressor using the Blu-ray droplet. It says it’d going to take 131 hours (17 of which have elapsed) to render a 90 minute video.
I’m using an iMac with 6GB, 2 GHz Intel Core Duo. I can’t wait 133 hours. Any suggestions? I’m getting desparate!

Have a look to the “Activity monitor” and see how much CPU is working for FC and Compressor.
Did you “Send to Compressor”?
If so, export a self-contained movie and import to Compressor.

Rafael,
The Activity Monitor shows Compressor using about 4%-18% of CPU. As for the project, I rendered a MOV file then imported it into Compressor.
This is insane!

It’s now up to 293:15:19. I’ll be dead and blu-ray will be an obsolete standard by the time Compressor gets finished.
Sincerely,
David
