    Hi Nicholas

    Thanks so much for replying.

    I will contact the replication facility as you suggested.

    I’m still baffled by what bitrate setting I should use for my video though :o/

    Hi Eric

    As an update, I tried CBR 8 but the resultant DVD seemed to play much faster than normal/speeded-up. Regardless, I checked the Video_Ts and the total average bitrate was 7.91 mbps and the regular spikes reached nearly 12 mbps.

    Any thoughts would be really appreciated.

    Warm regards

    Peter

    Not sure if this is useful, but the video also contains lots of fast moving, fast edited sports sequences…

    The original format is Canon XHA1 HDV 1080i PAL (recorded at 50i to play at standard PAL 25fps on VCRs)

    Hi Eric

    Sorry for delay in replying to your kind, valuable post due to personal circumstances. I really appreciate you taking the time to reply.

    I have got started with the advice you offered and would appreciate it if you, or anyone else reading this, would be kind enough to offer your thoughts on the following:

    Right now I would like to create the best possible DDP image file possible, for the replication house.

    Is it an .img file I should be outputting from DVDSP?

    The video was originally HDV 50i (Canon XHA1) which was captured into FCP as standard ProRes422 and edited and rendered entirely in standard ProRes422 and output from FCP as a standard ProRes 422 1920 x 1080 QT File.

    Using BitrateCalc I entered 46:33 into Video Length, and selected Type: DVD

    For DVD I selected 1 x 4.37 DVD5 (am not sure of the capacity of the DVD discs the replication house will be using but 4.37 is pretty common isn’t it?

    Should I maybe ask the replication house what capacity DVD discs they intend to use, and then return to BitrateCalc with my findings?

    Anyway, with 4.37 DVD5 selected the results are:

    Calculated bitrate: 9576 kbit/s
    Authoring overhead (2%): 90 MBx
    Estimated audio size: 77 MBs
    Estimated vide size: 4399 MBs
    Estimated size on disc: 4566 M

    “Id say go with a CBR bitrate of around 8 mb/s and be done with it.”

    In Compressor I have a choice of One Pass CBR – is this okay do you think?

    Should I also maybe choose a GOP structure setting (Open/Closed, IBBP, IP, IBP, GOP Size)?

    As regards a Bitrate Viewer I’m having trouble locating one for Mac – any suggestions where I might find one please? Aha just found a link in one of your older posts:

    Any thoughts whatsoever would be really appreciated.

    Happy New Year!

    Hi David

    I forgot to update this thread sorry about that – I decided to keep the Spyder after receiving a courtous email from their Customer Care department.

    Thanks for your feedback – it’s certainly a handy little gadget!

    Don’t worry about replying – am going to return the Spyder3Pro.

    Thanks all the same!

    Thanks for clarifying Sevan :o)

    How do you normally erase all unwanted sequences please? Do you make it offline and leave it on the disk, or send it to trash or delete from disk?

    Very good post! Can I just ask – what would be a ‘safe’ way of removing sequences from a project please? I often have spare sequences that I tuck into a ‘keep safe’ bin as I’m terrified of making them offline and removing them from disk for fear of losing something!

    Recently, I’ve created new project files which only contain a minimum number of sequences and bins.
