It does seem we can never hope to achieve good results exporting from Final Cut Pro to DVD, no matter what we do. I’ve tried every solution and method on the internet, and my movies still look crap when played on a TV through a DVD player. I guess that’s just how it is. Big shame, because the quality of my movies is so good from the camera, (5DMk2 at 1920 x 1080), looks perfect on computer screen, but turns to blurry rubbish on DVD.

Sigh….

The best I’ve been able to come up with is exporting the movie with current settings from FCP, bringing that into Compressor and using an MPEG 2 preset corresponding with the duration, bringing that and exported audio from FCP into DVD Studio Pro, and burning from there. Still blurry and ugly, but seems to be as good as it gets.

You’d think in this day and age…..
