Sorry never tried to do it myself. I just know the feature is not there.
Considering there are so many ways around DVD copy protection I om kinda of the opinion of why put much effort into copy protecting it when they can still bypass the copy protection.

You want to convert the stills into a video file before you enter FCP.
QuickTime 7 Pro makes this real easy.

No there is no copy protection optin in the share feature.

[Steve Cornell] “Using FCP share function to burn a BluRay, is it possible to encrypt my film so that the disc cannot be easily copied or ripped by the user ?”
No and if it was encrypted then a regular blue ray player could not play it.
Even copy protected DVDs are not encrypted. Copy protection and encryption are 2 different things.

Your questions have acutely come up before so in the future, I do recommend doing a search.
[Jason Jack] “1) The steps in uninstalling Final Cut 6 and Installing Final Cut 7”
Well with Pro apps is actually best to erase the entire system drive and start fresh when moving to new version. This will insure that everything is good. There is a 3rd party app called FCP Remover that will remove FCP but again is is best to clone your system drive and then erase it and start fresh.
[Jason Jack] “2) Once installing Final Cut 7, will I be able to open the project file that I am still working on with Final Cut 6 on Final Cut 7?”
Yes but once saved you will no longer be able to open it in FCP 6 again. It is not usually recommended to upgrade mid project, but once you have finished one and before you start another.
[Jason Jack] “3) What will happen to all my plugins?”
Depends on the plugins. You need to check with the maker of the plugin to see if they are compatible with newer versions of FCP.

I believe it’s determined by the hardware model of the machine.

Have you converted the video to a proper editing codec? Your camera records using h.264 which is not a proper editing codec.

I would NEVER NEVER NERVER attempt to edit video on a Macbook Air, especially not the 11″.
Not only does it have less a then desirable CPU and GPU for video editing. An 11″ screen is just to small to properly see every thing going in FCP.
But the biggest reason is that the Macbook Air only has USB, no FireWire, no Thunderbolt connection, no connection that is fast and constant. USB works via bursts of data and therefore just is not suitable for video editing. Video files are large and therefore have constant high data rates.

For compresor to take full advantage of your processors you need to set a a virtual cluster. Search the web there is good info out there on how to do this.
[Ben Edwards] “The source footage is on a external USB drive and target is local.”
This is going to slow things down. USB works in bursts of data. Having a constant stream of data is MUCH better. The general rule is NEVER use USB for video.

What you really should do is shoot at a faster frame rate.
For example if you could shoot at 60fps instead of say 30fps you have 2x the number of frames each second.
The more frames per second you shoot the the slower you can play back the video with it still looking good.
