Trouble Encoding with iDVD
I have an FCP 4.5 systems on a G4, Dual 1.25 computer. I use an Aurora Igniter board with component input. When going to DVD I’ve always exported my sequence as an uncompressed, self-contained QuickTime movie and then encoded and burned that with IDVD. (Mostly I edit in 8bit 4:2:2 uncompressed. Other than IDVD being sort of weird, the quality has always looked good. Recently that’s changed. Now, the video looks like it’s single field, and all horizontal movement has these really bad streaks in it.
I’ve tried reinstalling iDVD 5.0.1, throwing out the FCP preferences and reinstalling the Aurora driver. We’ve also tried two different burners with the same result.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Have you tried exporting through FCP or even Compressor? Are your results similar?

I do my exports through FCP. Usually, export/QuickTime movie/Current Settings or Uncompressed 8 bit, 4:2:2. I haven’t tried compressor. I did use compressor to encode a QT file to Mpeg2, but then found that iDVD didn’t seem to know what to do with it.
I’m beginning to wonder if my QuickTime application could be corrupted.
