“1) Will DVDs made from footage shot in DV-30p (non-HD) play on a blu-ray player? “
I don’t know if you’ve actually recorded 30p if you recorded on DV. I certainly could be wrong, I’ve just never seen a camera that records that. Either way, Blu-ray players should be backwards compatible and be able to play SD DVDs.
“2) If I buy a new HD camcorder (about to do) and shoot in 1080p30, can I make BLU-RAY DISCS? (as opposed to shooting in 60i)”
Only really high end cameras truly shoot 1080p30. If you actually got your hands on one, sure you could burn your project to Blu-ray.
I am under the impression that you think it has to be progressive scanning though. It doesn’t. Blu-ray can be interlaced video too.

Yes, Flash is best if you want to reach the widest audience. This is how i’d convert to Flash:
1. Export a full quality, self contained Quicktime out of FCP. (File > Export > Quicktime Movie)
2. Bring that new file into Adobe Flash converter to compress for the web.
or
Bring that new file into Sorenson Squeeze to compress for the web.
Unfortunately it’s not as simple as just changing the file extension, as far as I know.

I think if you go to:
Final Cut Pro > Audio/Video Settings > A/V Devices and uncheck the “Mirror on Desktop” option, video will pay out to your MXO2 mini and not play on your computer screen.
I’m not positive though. I’m not at a computer right now that has a reference monitor, so i can’t test for myself

Do you have to render? SD doesn’t really look any good on a computer screen anyway. The pixels of SD video are non-square while the pixels on the computer screen ARE square. So SD just won’t really look to great. This is one of the reasons why you should only bother to judge your image on a broadcast monitor or decent TV at worst

Sorry Tom. And sorry to you too Dan. That was arrogant. I just get frustrated when people get overly psyched about 24p.
Dan, learning video is hard enough. Don’t make it harder by getting hung up on how to properly work with 24p. 24p certainly has it’s place, but it’s not necessary when you’re learning about video. If you want your video to truly stand out, learn how to tell a story. People will not judge your video based on your frame rate. When was the last time you heard someone say, “oh this sucks, it’s not 24p.” Most people can’t even tell the difference.
While a good story will keep your viewer interested, strong lighting will make you look like a pro. If you know how to light, it doesn’t matter what you’re shooting with. You image will look great and people WILL notice.
A good story with strong lighting combined with, well, even basic shooting, will put you way ahead of others your going to school with. Good luck

hmm….might be a dumb question, but:
In the Log and Capture window, go into the Clip Settings tab. Is the “Video” checkbox checked?
