Burning a DVD from FCPX

My workflow is as follows:
1. Shoot in HXR-NX5u Sony AVCHD 1920x1080 | 29.97 fps
2. Import as is to FCPX letting FCPX create the project properties according to the first clip
3. Edit and create project.
4. Export as ProRes 422
5. Burn with iDVD to a PAL DVD 16:9
My result is an acceptable DVD. My only issue is with pans and fast zooms there remains a "choppiness" in the videos when played on DVD player and computer alike. This choppiness is not present on the exported ProRes 422 file, nor is it present on a Vimeo export that I did. Only on the DVD wherever it is played.
Any suggestion?
Thanks.
When I say choppy, I mean that when the frame pans it seems as if it is skipping frames and jumping to the next. It is not skipping frames though because this is not apparent on steadily framed shots. It is a shame because my montages come out so beautifully and when I burn them I get this choppiness which gives me a sub par result.

The following are the settings I am attempting at the moment..I'll let you know the outcome...

Help. trying to burn a dvd from fcpx. says bitrate too high

I'm using fcpx for a montage with effects like generators etc...not sure if this is why it says bitrate too high. I want to burn a dvd and it stops at 66% saying bitrate too high. I've seen an answer from 2011....wondering if anyone has anything new? My computer is Mac book pro 15 inch, latest software. I went to compressor but the final product doesn't allow me to put in a title and i'm worried about final quality. Thanks for any help

I would say usually it's about the same. If the settings are adjusted properly, it can sometimes improve the results; conversely, there's always the potential to get terrible results if the settings are wrong. (FCP X Share kind of takes that risk out of the process.)
Where the software can often add value is when you have long videos that you're trying to fit on a disk. Or trying to compress certain HD material with complex scenes. Or sometimes, you'll run into players that choke on a DVD and the adjustments in Compressor give you a chance to adjust the bit rate to a level that widens the disk's playability. And there are audio and video effects that can be added in Compressor without re-editing in FCP.
BTW, I don't believe you've yet told us how long your project is.

Is it possible to burn a DVD from FCPX in 16:9 aspect ratio?

I am using FCP X 10.1.1 on an iMac with OS 10.9.3
I have HD video shot in 1080X720. I realize a dvd isn't HD, but I would like to try and get the wide screen aspect. Is that even possible? I would love any sort of assistance! Thanks much!
-R

Yes.
Just go ahead and burn the DVD which will finish up with whatever aspect the project is.
A 16:9 aspect ratio has nothing to do with hi-def, it's just that hi-def in the last 10 years has adopted that ratio but it was used long before then, together with 4:3, for standard def DV.

What do I do wrong, cant burn a DVD from FCPX 10.1.1

It comes with this window

OK.
Then we'll need some more basic information: System specs; Original media format; project settings.
Are you using physical media or making a disk image?
Have you ever before exported and burned a DVD with your current setup?
Can you export this project with any other share options – for example, a master file? If you cannot, are you able to export another existing or a test project?

When I try to burn a DVD from FCPX it burns everything but the video.

So far I am having this problem on only one project. I am very new to FCPX, so I'm thinking it's user error. When I share to DVD it burns everything but the actual video. I get audio and text effects but a black screen otherwise. The only thing I know that I've done differently from previous projects was using stabilization. I have since burned other projects to DVD with no problem, but this project will not export correctly.

Burning a DVD from Final Cut Pro X via Compressor - No audio?

I have attempted to burn a DVD from a Final Cut Pro X project using Compressor, however the result was silent.
I used compressor because my FCPx project is in NTSC and my DVD is for air on Australian TV (PAL).
Image seemed to burn OK however there is no audio. Can anyone advise what I may have overlooked?
This is the first time I have used Compressor, and I am fairly new to FCP X.
thanks,
Geoff

Thanks Russ. OK, I am now rendering again via Compressor 4, this time I have 2 files in one tab - 1) a MPEG-2 and 2) an AC3 file. Seems to make sense.
To burn the DVD immediately after, I added a 'Job Action' to 'Create DVD' after the render, and the dialog confuses me. No problems with the 'Job Action' tab, but the "A/V Attributes" tab indicates the follwing:
Type: Final Cut Pro.app (shouldn't this be a reference to the rendered file/s?)
Video - showing the same dimensions of my FCPx Project file (NTSC ..640 x 480) instead of the MPEG-2 (Pal ...720 x 576).
Audio - Properties show Linear PCM... 6 channels, etc... not the AC3 file.
My question is, how do I create a DVD from the newly rendered files output from Compressor - is the Job Action the way to do it, and if so, how do I get it to reference the new files?
Thanks,
Geoff

What software do I need so i can burn a DVD from iMovies?

I simply want to burn a DVD from my iMovies and send to another party to be able to play on their computer or DVD.

Apple don't want you to do that.
The current Apple thinking is that the entire world has access to fast broadband and wants to distribute home movies to friends and relatives via download (iCloud) rather than mailing them a DVD. The fact that in reality not all users do, has so far had no effect on this policy. If you scream and shout loudly enough down the phone Apple may send you a free copy of iDVD. That worked for some, but is now said to have been withdrawn by Apple. Also, you can complain bitterly here, perhaps suggesting that Apple could have provided a choice between using iCloud and burning DVDs:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/
Whilst Macs with a Superdrive continue to be able to burn video DVDs, the software for so doing, iDVD, is no longer included in the iLife bundle that comes with OS 10.7 Lion (which also omitted iWeb) or will come with OS 10.8 Mountain Lion. And it is no longer included in the iLife 11 from the online Apple Store: http://www.apple.com/ilife/. Your only solution is to look on Amazon or eBay and try to get an older version that includes iDVD.
However, the vastly more expensive FCPX can burn a DVD without iDVD or DVD Studio Pro involvement, but lack the themes etc of iDVD. Also, of course, there is Roxio Toast.

Hi
And if You change view - in main "window/view field" so that You see the box-plot structure.
No exclamation marks there either ?
and non at the front page ?
iDVD do not copy Your material - only points to where it is stored. So if on any external hard disks, USB-memories, CDs or DVDs are missing - assetts are broken.
Or if You changed location of any material or directed iPhoto or iTunes or GarageBand to a new Library - Then iMovie/iDVD also get's lost.

Burning to DVD from iPhoto - Help!

Hello All
I am trying to burn all our photos from iPhoto to DVD. There is 7.3gb of data, and I am trying to burn to a DL DVD with a capacity of 8.5gb.
The steps I take to do are Share -> Burn. However, when I try this, the bottom of the screen tells me that the disc, with a capacity of 9.3gb, is full. Aside from the weird discrepancy on capacity, this doesn't make any sense, as this is a new, blank DVD fresh out of the packaging/
Strangley, when I go to eject the DVD, it is not on the desktop, and does not appear in Disk Utility, although pressing the eject button does work.
I am using a workaround, having exported the photos to a bun folder and then burning a DVD from there - this is progress and, fingers crossed, seems to be working...
Any ideas?
Cheers
MC

There is 7.3gb of data,
Where are you getting this report?
The iPhoto Window reports the size of the resulting folder if you exported the current version of everything in the Library.
The actual iPhoto Library is much larger. It contains thumbnails, originals, database and cache files.
Regards
TD

Burning a DVD from CS4 on a Windows 7 computer

I'm unable to burn a DVD from the edited timeline in CS4. I have Windows 7 Home Premium software loaded on my PC. When I go from Dynamic Link to Encore I get an error message stating Encore is not compatible with my PC. How can I burn a DVD using CS4 and Windows 7?

Create an ISO (Encore) or folder on your hard drive (Encore or Premiere Elements) and then use the FREE http://www.imgburn.com/index.php?act=download to write files or folders or ISO to disc (send the author a PayPal donation if you like his program)
Imgburn will read the ACTUAL disc brand from the disc, which is not always the same as the box label (Memorex is notorious for buying "anything" and putting it inside a Memorex box)
When you write to disc with Imgburn, use the slowest possible speed setting, so your burner has the best chance to create "good, well formed" laser burn holes... since no DVD player is required to read a burned disc, having a "good" one from a high quality blank will help
Use Taiyo Yuden single layer or Verbatim dual layer
Or Falcon Pro for inkjet printable dual layer

Burning a DVD from FCP 4 anamorphic

I'm trying to burn a DVD from my FCP 4. but even though everything is set as anamorphic, the DVD comes out all squished. I was able to burn a DVD several months ago of the same footage, for some reason i'm not able to do this. I'm really frustrated and need to be able to do this. Any suggestions? Thanks

Which program are you burning the DVD with? DVDSP? or iDVD?
I'm not on my computer where I have the link bookmarked, but there is a droplet you need to burn anamorphic material in iDVD. Unless you've done it in iMovie. Odd bug, and one they're working on if they've listened to me... which they did, I'm sure.
If it's DVDSP then you need to select the track in dvdsp and then tell it to force letterbox.
Should work fine for you. I'll hunt around and see if I cannot find that other link for you... but it's there in the iDVD forum.
Good luck,
CaptM

Use iDVD.
Apple no longer sells it. Buy any version of iLife 11, 09, or 08 from your favourite software vendor and install just the iDVD app.

Hello..Does anyone in this community know what the following error code indicates   0x8002006E   I was trying to burn a DVD from files in a burn folder. They were pictures from my Nikon camera. I can play videos and movies from the same dvd player.

I was trying to burn a DVD from files in a burn folder. They were pictures from my Nikon camera. I can play videos and movies from the same dvd player.    Thanks for any help you can offer,

Thanks for your reply:
I did find an error log related to the error code and tried all suggestions on the list of recommendations, still no luck
I definitely am running OS X10.5.8 (hopefully will be updating later on this month)
I tried several brand new discs from the same box, still no luck.
My last option is to go out and try a different brand, guess I'll go with Verbatim this time but I think I'll poke around some more before buying 20 more new discs.
