[QUOTE]I would export the 16:9 HD to Uncompressed 8bit SD 16:9, and master a SD DVD from there. If you need the video to loop seamlessly, then export a 30min to 1hour looping video. (the dvd will pause for a few seconds at the end of the loop, and this way you will make the pause less noticeable) [/QUOTE]

thanks for the help, guys, just a few more uber-noobish questions you all probably know.

what is sd dvd resolution? what exactly is “Uncompressed 8bit sd 16:9”? I am under the impression that FCP HD would do the necessary export/compressing to .m2v, and that sounds kinda like i’m outputting an uncompressed lossless master, and letting some other program do the actual compressing, and looping.

dvdsp? i’m guessing its a pc program. so I encode on a mac, and firewire the finished master for PC to burn?

please clarify this for me if you can, and thanks for holding my hand through this.

please also point me towards any tutorials or general faqs about this stuff.

thanks a bunch!
