Got some excellent ideas from Creative Cow.
More info:
The sequence has several TIFF images – is that a problem?
Should I export them as a QT movie and import them back in?
I just successfully made a DVD from one minute of the 30-minute
sequence.
So now I know I can probably make 6 movies that are
5-minutes long each and create the DVD that way.
Which idea is better?
1 – Create 5-minute movies in FCP, export them
separately and paste them together in DVD Studio Pro…
or
2 – Bring the first 5-minutes into a fresh FCP sequence and
render it (BTW, nothing would render before, either – I forgot to
mention that in the original post), then pull in the next 5
minutes, render that, and possibly re-create the entire
sequence bit by bit – then try Exporting again.
