Hi Rob,
I’m pretty much a noob at this.I didn’t try a reference file I just tried sending it to compressor from the FCP file menu. I was trying to get it to DVD. I used the “DVD best quality to fit 90 inutes on DVD”.I am editing on a timeline with a 1080i setting. Does that help you. I am also mixing 5d and canon a1 footage. I really lost here. Sorry for not being able to give you more info. I would really appreciate any help you could offer me.Thank you so much for you response!
