There’s no point in doing VBR if your Average & Maximum are going to be the same. There’s no ‘variable’ in your data rate. At that point, you might just try CBR (Fast, worse quality>)
Have you considered a hardware encoder?

You asked for a guideline, I’d really suggest just testing the footage with a very low data rate, because you claim that most of it is talking head/freezeframe on a slide.
[David Silvester] ” I would like to not use Compressor, but as our workflow, where we will be outputting straight from FCP, I don’t think there is any other reasonable way of doing it.”
Compressor is going to be better than the straight QuickTime export from FCP7.
The MPEG2 codec in QuickTime is fair at best (both of them use it.)

Have you tried the Validate fonts in Font book?

Under Security and Privacy in the user, under the Advanced button, you have the ability to logout a user after X minutes of inactivity.
Perhaps this is on?

That’s very odd.
Did you try changing the drives to ignore permissions?

Sadly, this forum is for Adobe Premiere Pro pro – I don’t think there is a forum at the cow for Adobe Premiere elements.
What you want to do is either be able to keyframe the position or track the underlying video. (I don’t know how to do either in Elements, just Premiere Pro.)

Most menus are irrelevant in encoding – especially if they’re stills…the data rates can be much lower.
Don’t try to max out the bit budget for a disc if you can avoid it. Getting it ‘really close’ is painful when you’re off.
I can think of a couple of possibilities of the ‘why’ you have more space (such as the calculations being based on 30fps material or the build being smaller than it is.) These aren’t necessarily right guesses – just possibilities.
If it looks good, just burn the disc. 😀

[Adam White] “I have read up on the Media Tool, and how it can be used in conjunction with the consolidate command to copy media. However, I get 2 options when trying to proceed with this method;
Keep master clips linked to original media
Relink master clips to media on the target drive”You want to keep master clips linked to original media.
New media will be created – it’ll be called name.NEW
You copy your bins/project to the other drive.
They launch avid, open the project, relink and bam, everything reconnects.

For what it’s worth, photoshop does take video. You could take it over there and work frame by frame.

Adobe Media Encoder is likely to force a transcode and those bitrates are small (not anemic – that’d be under 10) but still not great.
The larger the bit rate, the more space a codec has to breathe, meaning a less damaged final picture.
