Your camera only shoots interlaced…

Video Format : HD: MPEG4-AVC/H.264 AVCHD 2.0 format compatible; STD: MPEG2-PS
Video Mode : HD FX: Approx. 24Mbps / FH: Approx. 17Mbps / HQ: Approx. 9Mbps / LP: Approx. 5Mbps; STD HQ: 9Mbps

I wold look for a deinterlace option in the export. If you watch your video on a tv,you won’t see the interlace issues as TV is interlaced. Computer displays are progressive..so you see the interlace issues.

Followed by the 10.1 update where you have to pay $299 again.

Did you export a 1080 QuickTime? 5.2 gig?

Standard DVD requires 720×480. Mpeg2. (16×9 anamorphic).

You 1080 file should be fines the DVD author should convert and burn as 480 mpeg.

There is a difference in a data DVD and a video DVD. I assume you want a playable video DVD….and not a file on a DVD as data.

Can we please stop using 1280i? 1280i implys 1280 pixels high. Regardless of standards, what you want is 720i.

All formats are defined my their vertical resolution. 1080 or 720 or 480. Never is it 1920i or 1280i or 720i in SD.

This is largely due to many HD formats also being anamorphic where the horizontal resolution changes.

We barely have standards as it is in video anymore… can we at least hold on to this one? That way everyone can speak the same video language.

Yes. I feel better. 🙂 I would just do a deinterlace upon export. This should work. I have taken 1080i footage to 720p before. Not in FCPX or Compressor…. I have never actually used those programs but the science should be the same.

Your explanation leaves me a bit confused.
HDTV formats are (WxH) 1920×1080 and 1280×720
That fact that you say you can’t create a 1280i project leads me to believe that what you really want is a 720 project if you want to properly scale down 1920×1080 footage.

There is no such thing as 1280i.
