Hi Eric,
Thanks I did what you said and it worked, however ran into another problem immediately after and i dont know if it has something to do with what i changed.
When printing to video it worked perfectly until the end, just as the credits come up the droped frames warning box came up. I figured that maybe the scrolling text was corrupt so i deleted it and made a brand new one, this stopped the droped frames but when printing to video the text would either not show at all and then stop or show but the music would stop.
As i said before the exact same film was being exported last week and worked fine, very confused!Thanks

Hi Tom,
My computer is a powerbook G4, Mac OSX. Final Cut version pro HD, QT pro, Sony HDV Z1, at the moment im only trying to import something very short (3 min) so i was using a passport WD 160 G external drive (its what i usually use for my music), the computers HD has 30 G free space on it. The camera is connected to the computer by fire wire, the external HD is connected by USB, all scratch disks are set to the exernal, The footage is HDV however i do have the down-convert camera set to on. apart from that i am doing everything that I would normally do when importing.
Thanks for responding so quickly,
Aine

hey tom
this is what i ended up doiing eventually. i think it may have worked,
I just exported it as uncompressed which ended up as a quicktime 33GB
and then dragged it into i dvd, but before this i changed the size
settings to 704×400. This seems to have worked and it is showing up on
screen as widescreen. not quite sure why but i dont care at the
moment. next thing is to get my hands on DVDSP then all my troubles
will be over. thanks for all the help. -
Hi Steve,
I have one more question for you. Im trying to take a completly ifferent approach, so, Im trying to export my film as a quicktime movie and import it into iDVD. trouble is everytime i do it the film turns up 4:3 instead of 16:9. I have made sure that everything from the beginning was anamorphic so there shouldnt be any problem there. I think the problem may lye in the sequence sttings but im not sure.
Under sequence settings – general the default frame size is 720×576 and aspect ratio is ccir 601/ dv pal (5:4)
the pixel aspect ratio is PAl – ccir 601 and beside this the anamorphic 16:9 box is ticked. This is a little confusing, shouldnt the aspect ratio be 16:9 and not 5:4. When i changed this in the drop down menue to DVCPRO HD 1080i60 16:9 it just made the picture really weird.Do you have any ideas as to why my film would be turning out 4:3??

Hi Steve,
Thank you so much for all the advise. my big problem is that i dont have DVD SP and i cant seem to get my hands on it at the moment, although if i pull a few strings im sure i could get it within a month, the thing is I dont have a month. need to get this done right now so i have proceed with using the shitty iDVD.
After i get this prblem sorted i will be looking into getting DVD SP and Toast to make my life a little easier. Im not terrible on the computer but im not exactly a tech head either, so its alot to take in all at once. Is toast a programme you have to pay for, or can you get it for free. And as for the customised compressor you were telling me about, is that only for NTSC because i would be PAL only.

Hi Tom
thank you so much for your quick responce. I just want to make something clear in my head. If i have a quicktime movie which i exported using quicktime conversion and it is lets say
10 – 35GB (i have a few different conversions done), and i drag it into iDVD then iDVD will compress it for me and i wont need to worry about the size for the DVD. Am i right here? and what about the fact that it wont be MPEG2. or does iDVD convert it to MPEG2 aswell??Sorry for the multiple questions, this is all quite technical for me, takes a while to learn.
