Thanks again Rafael.
I have compressed the file using Compressor.
I have imported the AC3 and .MOV file into DVD Studio pro.
I guess that I’m almost done but I’m now struggling for the final part.

Questions:

1. Should I click on BURN right away on DVD STUDIO PRO?
Should I instead click on ADVANCED BURN–>BUILD AND FORMAT and then drag the files into ROXIO TOAST?
2. I have just now clicked on BUILD and it created a bunch of VTS files:
VTS_01_00
VTS_01_01
VTS_01_02
VTS_01_03
VTS_01_04
I have dragged those into ROXIO without knowing if I was doing and expected to see an AUDIO file of some sort there…but nothing…

I would be great if you could give me the final imput to complete this project.

Thanks Rafeal.
The movie is 82 minutes long. Do the settings I have used to compress the film make sense then?

Thanks a lot Rafael.
I am currently compressing my .MOV file (DV PAL ANAMORPHIC 1024×576, 17,6GB) with compressor using the following settings:

Video

-MPEG 2 Program Stream
-Extension: m2v
-Stream usage: SD DVD
-Av bit rate: 5.9
-Max bit rate: 7
-Motion estimation: BEST
-Estimated file size: 3.54 GB

Audio

-Dolby Digital Professional 2.0
-Target system: DVD VIDEO
-Audio coding mode:2/0
-Sample rate 48 khz
-Data Rate: 192 kbps
-Bit Stream mode: Complete Main
-Dialogue Normalization: -27
-Estimated File Size: 82.4 MB/ HOUR of source

My question is: have I made the best compression or could I do better by changing some of the settings?

Thanks!

Thanks a lot for your help guys.
Everything worked out fine with your instructions.

Now next question: my file is 17,6 GB. I’m planning on using roxio to make it fit unto a DVD. But I got no clue whether or not that’s going to bring me any satisfactory results.
What should I do to get a good quality DVD?
