You need to make sure your sequence settings are set to the same settings as the footage you are importing. You can only do this by creating a new project and changing the sequence settings to that of your source clips. If your timeline or sequence settings have been set to DV settings, when you drag your HD footage to that timeline, Final Cut will have to render or conform the footage to the settings of the timeline. However if your sequence settings are already the same as your footage, final cut will not have to render.

Do you have to tell DVDSP that you want to make multiple copies because after my master copy finishes burning, it goes back to the project and if I click burn again, it starts the whole process over again starting with muxing. What am I missing?

I will do that. Dave thank you very much for your help so far!

Ok, got it! It worked thank you very much for your help so far. One last thing about it though. We are selling copies of this DVD and I noticed in DVDSP you can add copyright protection that prevents any copying. I was wondering if there was a fast and efficient way to burn 50 protected copies? Obviously if I copyright the master copy then I can not duplicate it to get my 50 because it will be protected. On the other hand if I don’t protect the master copy and then make 50 copies from it, the copies will not be protected. The only other thing I could think to do would be to burn one after the other in DVDSP as copyright protected discs but that would take an extraordinarily long time to do because when I click burn, it begans “muxing” (is this the same as encoding?) which takes about 45mins to an hour. Any ideas?

Ok this is really helping a lot! When I export from Final cut to compressor and drag the destination onto the sequence and the preset encoder, you are saying I also have to drag the audio preset and drop it as well. So there will be 3 things dragged to the sequence (video encoder, audio encoder and destination)? Or do you drag destination and video encoder onto the sequence and then duplicate the sequence but only drag the destination and audio encoder? Put differently, my second option would include 2 files to submit, both would have a destination, but 1 would have the video encoder and the other the audio encoder. Is that correct, or the first option, if either?

No I didn’t. What is the resulting file type for the audio? If the video is an .m2v, I have found it, but not the audio file.

Ok, what is the file extension of the separate audio file? I thought the final file was set to go to the desktop (the m2v file did) but I don’t know where it would have put the audio file.

Got it! Ok it is working now, thanks for the tip!

Ok, that is much more clear! Thank you David and Ed for your help! Slowly but surely I am getting a handle on some of the technical aspects of this industry. I have a lot to learn still! Again Thanks!

So is deinterlacing SD footage ever worthwhile? Should I keep all interlaced footage as so or does it depend?
