Hi Walter
Thanks so much for your response, as I expected VHS to fall apart we’ll leave that and move on to the DVD stuff. I am editing in Final Cut 4.5 HD and have a charity doco approx 18 mins long. Everything is, as far as I know, rendered to the highest quality (I have gone to the ‘sequence settings’ and have rendered both audio and video fully). What I need to do now is create an MPEG file to put into iDVD or DVD Studio Pro for the final product. You said that you used MPEG 2 but all I can find on FCP 4.5 is MPEG 4, is there a significant difference? I must confess to being a bit new to all of this! Anyway if you could give me a run down on what you would do from FCP to the final DVD authoring I would be hugely appreciative. Its probably something really simple I am missing. Thanks again.
Phil
