The monitor I’m testing on is just a small HD TV. I was testing the QTs on the monitor by using a Mini-Display to HDMI converter from my mac going into the monitor. I realize that the color fidelity will be wrong when playing a QT (or directly from the timeline.)

I shot and am editing in DVCPRO 720p60 with a frame rate of 29.97.

I am making my DVDs by exporting QT (no conversion) from the timeline, self-contained using current settings. I am then dropping that file into compressor and using MPEG-2 settings: Standard definition, NTSC 29.97, 16:9, Two Pass VBR: average bit rate 6.2, Max Bit rate 7.7
