Thank you guys for the response. I will attempt these.

I did however export using Quicktime Compression and changed the Audio settings and the resulting file had great quality (it was a little lighter than just direct Export Quicktime movie for some reason) and the audio was synced properly. However, I then brought it into Compressor to cut it down from 22GB, so that I may fit it on a DVD. I used the DVD 120 minutes preset, but had to change the data rate down to 4.5 mbps so the file could fit on a DVD at 4.5GB (I had to lower the data rate because simply using the default setting create a file JUST too large to burn). My problem is the quality severely suffered upon output of compressor.

Reading up on it, I believe I am using the recommended workflow. From FCP > Export to Quicktime File > Using Compressor, export as DVD > Use DVD Studio Pro to burn DVD.

Any ideas why I am getting such a huge loss of quality after exporting out of Compressor and/or what to do to achieve the best possible quality. Thanks again, I greatly appreciate it!

Yes I have and it is the same sync issue unfortunately.

I even exported just the audio to an .aiff file and that goes long too, by about 15 seconds. Does that mean there must be some sort of setting with the audio?

Also to note, when I exported through compressor, it all synced up perfectly, but like I mentioned, the quality of the export was horrible.

Thanks for the input!
