Poor DVD quality
Hi,
I am using Final cut studio and i have just finished editing a wedding, i exported to compressor and then produced my DVD but am very dissappointed with the quality.
I used the Sony Z1e in HD mode and edited in HD, then in compressor down converted to SD.
The picture is a little fuzzy and has jagged edges, should i have deinterlaced?
or is there another issue here i am not aware of.
Any help is appreciated……………..please!!Cheers

[Kev’s pics] “I used the Sony Z1e in HD mode and edited in HD, then in compressor down converted to SD.

also, we never send the timeline to Compressor. We export a QT and bring that into Compressor.

The only plus I’ve ever heard of for exporting to compressor directly is that there is some dialog going on automatically between FCP and Compressor whereas on a cut or a transitioin, etc. the compression is adjusted appropriately. But never seen any evidence of it. Sure isn’t worth the extra render time. Exporting directly ties up FCP and seems to actually take about 5 times as long to process.
