  • QT Movie File Output For DVD Studio Pro Authoring

    Posted by Mark Fanjoy on May 21, 2010 at 10:02 am

    Is it acceptable from a quality standpoint to export a full Quicktime Movie of my timeline and use that source file to author DVD’s from DVD Studio Pro?

    I am still learning to use Compressor and have not mastered the proper use of settings to produce quality DVD videos. But I can output a QT Movie and do so.

    Thanks!

    Yes you can do it. Just Import the QT into FCP and set your settings (Sd max. 6.2-7.4 Mbs plus Audio)
    and the DVD Studio does the compression.

    Compressor’s default DVD settings are a great place to start and can be adjusted or not whether you know a lot or just a little.

    At times DSP’s compressor has given me better results than any tweaked Compressor setting but it hasn’t been updated in years so I only use it when I’m in a jam. DSP will create an aif file of your audio and I would recommend creating an AC3 since the quality is excellent and it can be almost 1/5 or less of the original aif.

    Elliot is right,
