Media Offline in DVDSP
I highlighted the timeline and exported it to compressor, i set it to:
Mpeg 2.
Pal.
16:9
Field Dominance: Bottom First
Mode: One Pass VBR Best
average Bit rate at 8.2 with a maximum to 9.7
GOP structure set to IBBP
and size set to 12I then added an audio format of ACC 128 KBPS for the audio.
These Exported to my desktop as the following files:
last copy-30 MIN FINAL EDIT!!!!!-tada2.m2v (what i assume is my video, but i cant play as i dont have the Mpeg2 plugin)
and
last copy-30 MIN FINAL EDIT!!!!!-AAC 128Kbps.mp4 (what i assume is my audio which i can listen to through quicktime.)
when i add the two files to my timeline for DVDSP, it looks fantastic and its a good size file, but it hasnt done all of my video, and gives me a the “media Offline” i usually would get from FCP, not for every video file, but a fair few of them, and also my audio despite being the same length, is now out of sync?
What happened? surely if im going straight from FCP and the timeline there is perfect it should output with everything as appropriate?
Help would be soo sooo fantastic, as im new to all this and trying to pick it up as i go along..
Thank you for reading this…

AAC is not a proper audio format for DVD authoring. Either PCM (aiff or WAV) or AC3 (preferably) are what DVDSP is looking for. The Compressor presets are all AC3, which is pretty much the standard for professional DVDs, as AC3 requires less overhead when playing back on set top players than the PCM formats.
