Sounds like you did everything correctly. Still best to send a small USB drive instead of a recordable disc. Here’s a good article:

Great discussion topic!
There’s no doubt that we will be watching all entertainment from Net someday but DVD is still king and remain that way for several years. Of course it all depends on who your audience is as well. iTunes and especially iTunes Extras is way beyond what Joey Beer Can and Wendy Wine Cooler can absorb at this point. I think its important to put yourself in the others shoes. Think of all the people in our lives that have no interest in technology. They have internet and use a computer for basic stuff but they wouldn’t consider it as a replacement for their 4×3 TV. These folks make up about 80% of the world. Then there are folks who have no interest in a computer or the net…but these folks sure like movies 🙂
I think alot of us here (especially clients with cash to spend) forget what the real world is like. People who work in Film/video and the entertainment industry live upon new technology and media. We’re driven by it and thats what makes the “new best thing” the killer app. However, the real world is much different than our own.
I’m not saying abandon any new ideas of course. But lets just put this idea that we will all be downloading ALL programs in the next 3 or 4 years to bed. Physical will be around a long time. Itunes Extra is cheap so it makes sense to go that route. But again, don’t forget who buying the stuff.

1a Ask them what they want. DVD has alot of error back up capabilities so I wouldn’t worry a whole lot.
1b I would include a AUDIO_TS folder but its really not necessary. There were a small handful of players which wouldn’t play a disc way back when without it but those days are long gone. But including a AUDIO_TS folder is good practice IMO. An AUDIO_TS folder has nothing to do with your audio – it is/was reserved for the DVD-AUDIO Spec.
2 Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden is all I will ever use.

No kidding! This would take months!

It most likely an error on the discs you wrote them on. Did you deliver on DVD-R? Best to deliver on HDD, DLT or perhaps send them 2 different data disc with your DDP images on good media.
DL should NEVER be used as a replication delivery master for various reasons – good luck with that!

Hilarious! $5 is too high??

Do you have a link?

You need to do a bit budget first. Here’s a good calculator:
https://www.videohelp.com/calc.htm
For 5 hours you’re look at a avg bitrate of 3.5
For 4 hours you’re look at a avg bitrate of 4.0These are both DVD-9
Compressor doesn’t do a very good job at these bitrates so I’d seriously look at using another encoder like Bitvice or Cinemacraft MP plug-in for the Mac

Dave is making perfectly good points here!
I shoot alot of surf footage for the larger surf companies. Loooong lenses and very tight shots of fast moving subjects. I need to almost lay into and on top of my camera. I’ve tried the 7D myself and can say it would be useless for me. A good picture is only half of what a good video camera should be.
However! These puppies are great if shooting in the surf and under the water with a housing!
