I actually tried to use convert the footage using the MPEG-2 Best Quality 60 min setting in Compressor, but it ended up giving me a 2.5Gb file that I couldn’t open. It had the .m2v extension and couldn’t open in FCP, DVD SP or Finder.
Usually all the clips have a thumbnail of the video in Finder but this one just had the Quicktime logo and said “Can’t open this file”.
Is there a codec I’d need to be able to open it? I have Perian and thought that was the do-it-all wonder codec 🙂

That’s a great idea. I’ve been so frustrated trying to come up with a better way to do this that I didn’t even think to simply add the player info to the actual DVD instead of the game footage.That would save me a ton of time with not having to export all 9 sequences individually. I’m opening up DVD SP now to start working on it. Thank you so much John 🙂

It would be a DVD to play in a DVD player.

I’ll be giving the clients a SD DVD each with titles specific to the player. Since I have 9 sequences to export individually would it be better to use Compressor first then work with the smaller file to save time exporting those sequences? And if so which is a good Compressor setting for be?
I tried to compress the main sequence first using “DVD-Best Quality 60 min” but it gave me a file with a .m2v extension and I couldn’t bring it back into FCP. I couldn’t even play the file in Finder.
I’m just looking for some advice on which Compressor settings I should be using to get decent image quality to a 4.7Gb DVD and save some time working with these 9 sequences. I’ll post my question about the workflow in the FCP forum. Thanks for getting back to me 🙂
