Cannot convert before the edit. It is a bad workflow but I’m stuck with it. I have to edit 60-80 shows a week so I have to figure out how to make this work. I just wish there was a way to stop the creation of the large multiple cfa files.
Thanks.

I don’t think that is the disc that apple is talking about, they are talking about a distribution model, not back ups. For video most optical disc archiving is not useful, that is why LTO has became the best true archival route.
I love it when spec sheets list “3 hours” of video, well what format. HD? SD? HDV? H.264? ProRes? big different. Not saying there is not a place for this, I think this is for people with relatively small file types that needs long term archival.

DVD does not support mp3 files, ac3 is the compressed format for DVD audio. If you place something like mp3 your DVD program with make it uncompressed audio.
You can never have just audio there always needs to be an image. If put your audio on a menu and then use a still and loop the menu, it will work. There is no reason to fill the disc since all you are doing is looping the same audio. There is a 1 GB limit to a menu but you will not go over that. You can also do the loop on the video title but you have to add the still as a video with the same length as the audio. Just set the video track as the first play and loop the track.
Any DVD authoring app will do this. I don’t know what is available on a PC.

A mac mini will smoke this.

If you are not burning to a disc there is no size limit. You just format to your hard drive and the HD Video ST folder from DVD Player.

NTSC is always 720×480 on a DVD. It is the shape of the pixels that change. 4:3 is .9 and 16:9 is 1.2. If you are using Photoshop it corrects for this as you build, as does any video graphic package. If you are doing it manually you start off with 854×480 (square), design then convert to 720×480, if you are looking at it in a photo program the image will now look wrong. Bring it into DVDSP set it to 16:9 and it will look correct.

First, there is no such thing as 720i, 720 is always progressive.
HD DVD is dead, it will only play in Macs. You need to author SD DVD. Or use something else to author BluRay if you want HD material.
There are a ton of threads on both subjects.

[Michael Slowe] ” I think the modern kit will play both.”
Very few manufactured DVD, BluRay players and TVs in the US can play PAL. PAL playback is by far the exception to the rule. US needs to be thought of as NTSC only unless you are only delivering to a specific individual that states they are PAL compatible.
