Cool. I think the rule I used to use was don’t go over 7. Maybe it is still the same (or maybe I’m a little more conservative than you).
Thanks, John.

Is there no export option in Final Cut 7 that will create a high quality video file and a high quality audio file that I can import directly into DVD Studio Pro without the steps you just mentioned?

Thanks Nicole,
I did try it using Pro Res and it is way better.

Thanks, Walter. Yes, that seems to be the ticket. BTW, why are these files so enormous?

John,
Very helpful – I was not even thinking that the solution would be as simple as playing with sequence settings.

It is a 16×9 clip and I want to leave it that way.

The clip originally would not play well with the sequence settings at Frame Size: HDTV 1080i (16:9) and Compressor: H.264.

It does seem to be working at Frame Size: NTSC DV (3:2) with the compressor set either to DVCPRO50 – NTSC or H.264.

Lots of rendering but looks like this will work.

Where do I find frame controls in Compressor? Do you mean the program Compressor or the compressor setting in sequence settings?

Thanks much,
Dave
