I went ahead and tried Rich’s method first and it fixed the problem for me.

Thanks to everyone that responded. Your suggestions taught me different ways to approach this problem and in turn has made me a better editor.

Good luck in all you do !

Hey John,

I actually don’t have a video monitor to preview things before burning to DVD so my initial judgement is based on what’s on the computer screen.

In FCP I used the DV NTSC 48 kHz sequence presets. Once I put together the sequence I exported to Compressor and used the DVD Best Quality 90 Minutes settings (MPEG-2 6.2 Mbps 2-pass for video and Dolby Digital Professional 2.0 at 192 kbps for audio).

Then I just built the DVD in DVDSP by importing the assets, putting them on a track and connecting all the necessary menus/buttons.

So as you can see I don’t really stray from standard presets.
