Yes, I believe so. It is better to use a compression program.

With that being said though, you can go into the DVDSP preferences and b/4 you import the media, set all your specs and settings for encoding to maximize the quality.

Importing QT’s directly into DVDSP app is the easier way to go for those who don’t want to mess with settings and details.

Export your finished edit using “Current Settings”

Drop that file into AME or Compressor and select the Bluray preset. This will make your mpeg files (audio and video) for bluray authoring.

Was camera 2 (SD) shot anamorphic/Widescreen? Then it will be letterboxed on a 4×3 monitor.
What is your delivery?
SD-DVD?
Web?

If you don’t need HD, edit it all in an SD sequence.
Don’t edit mpeg in FCP.

Take a DV clip and drop it into a new sequence. Let FCP match up the settings for you.

Put the HD files in the SD sequence and resize as needed.

When you edit is DONE, change the compressor in the sequence settings to 10 bit Uncompressed or ProresHQ. Render fully, export using “Current Settings” Take that file into your compression program to create your deliverables.

Demuxing is the wrong term/process.

You should export your finished edit using “Current Settings”
The creates a QT master.

Take that file into your compression program:

Compressor
AME
Episode
Squeeze

to create the DVD compliant files (mpeg2)

You can import the mov file directly into DVDSP or Encore and let it convert the files, not the best though.

NO you don’t want 1080i.

In the sequence settings. After the edit is done.

If created inside FCP – they reside in the project file.

Can you just open the project up on the laptop?

The DV codec is horrible on Text.
Change the codec – render – view on Broadcast monitor.
