settings for dvcprohd to dvd?
this is my first time using this workflow, and i realized i didnt know the way to put it to dvd.
i started with hdv, converted to dvcpro on capture (using kona) and now im done cutting.
whats the best way to get it to dvd?
i know a lot of solutions, but what is best, and do i have to change field dominance somewhere.please be specific, cause i dont have as much time as i would like to play around testing.

To send a Reff movie, you need to have everything rendered.The advantadge of sending a Reff movie is that you are free to use FC. If you send from the FC time-line everything must be re-render before the MPG2 compression. This system take longer but have some other advantadges. If I’m not in a hurry is the one I use it.
Whatever the way you use, when you send to Compressor just pick one of the pre-sets according with the lenth of your film and the quality you want. Make sure that you select ‘Stream use: SD DVD (I guess you want that). You can set the field order of your master film in the Video Format tab.

#42 – Quick and dirty way to author a DVD
Shane’s Stock Answer #42 – David Roth Weiss’ Secret Quick and Dirty Way to Author a DVD:
The absolute simplest way to make a DVD using FCP and DVDSP is as follows:
1. Export a QT movie, either a reference file or self contained using current settings.
2. Open DVDSP, select the “graphical” tab and you will see two little monitors, one blue, one green.
3. Select the left blue one and hit delete.
4. Now, select the green one, right click on it amd select the top option “first play”.
5. Now drag your QT from the broswer and drop it on top of the green monitor.
6. Now, for a DVD from an HD source, look to the right side and select the “general tab” in the track editor, and see the Display Mode, and select “16:9 pan-scan.”
7. Hit the little black and yellow burn icon at the top of the page and put a a DVD in when prompted. DVDSP will encode and burn your new DVD.
THATS ALL!!!
NOW…if you want a GOOD LOOKING DVD, instead of taking your REF movie into DVD SP, instead take it into Compressor and choose the BEST QUALITY ENCODE (2 pass VBR) that matches your show timing. Then take THAT result into DVD SP and follow the rest of the steps. Except you can choose “16:9 LETTERBOX” instead of PAN & SCAN if you want to see the entire image.
