Trouble Burning DVD from StudioPro
ISSUE:
I took an .mov file that I created in Final Cut Pro and imported it into StudioPro for authoring, however I am having difficulty producing a viewable product after burning a DVD. I no longer have the original Final Cut Pro file, as there have been computer problems from which data was dumped during a file backup process. I have summarized the video project specifics below so that who ever I correspond with would understand how I went about its production and authoring. My hope is that a knowledgeable source would help me resolve this matter.COMPUTER with INTERNAL DISC BURNER:

I’ve been advised to click the Graphical tab background to bring up the Inspector and to make sure the radio button is selected to SD. I am doing that now. I have used the Inspector when clicking various assets, however I did not realize that clicking a background — usually reserved for deselecting items in programming — would bring up the tool to inspect a track.

Beyond making sure youre set to SD, I not sure what your doing wrong?
BTW…no need for uncompressed audio (aif). Use AC3 and you can put this onto a single layer disc.

Thank you for the tip. It was the SD issue. I have successfully burned my discs. I will certainly remember how to save disc space using the AC3 format next time.
