FCP directly to DVD?

I want to burn an FCP sequence directly to DVD. I'm not making menus nor would I need to compress it because it's too short. How do I do this?

Export your movie as QT movie self-contained or reference open DVDstudio and import your asset (QT movie).

Export from FCP directly into DVD studio pro?

Is it possible to export from FCP directly into DVD studio pro? If not, what is the preferred file format because my exported quicktime files come up as "incompatible format" when I try to add them into my DVD project. Any help is appreciated.

You need to encode audio as well from Compressor. You'll have 2 files - audio and video.
Here's a tutorial:

Why won't FCP X burn the menu background image when sharing directly to DVD?

At one point recently I was able to drop in a jpg file so that FCP X would display this image in the menu background when a disc is burned directly out of FCP X when sharing directly to DVD. It worked at first, and then I decided I needed a higher quality image, but this one won't burn. My DVD now just has a black menu background. I can't figure out why this is happening. Please help! I'm using a late 2008 MacBook Pro 2.4Ghz 15" with OS 10.8.4. FCP X is up to date as well. My harddrive is fairly full in case that might cause some errors. Are there any specs on what type and size an image FCP wants for this function? Thanks for any help!

Thank you, reducing the image size worked! I had used a low res file before, and with success decided to increase the resolution/size, and then it didn't work. the image did appear in small preview in the export panel, but wouldn't burn when all was said and done. the dimensions you gave worked fine. unfortunately, it makes the image a little bit fuzzy, but i dont think i can do anything about this. at least it burned it in there. thanks!

Waiting for my FCP 5.1 DVDs. how long???

Hi, I sent my FCP studio 5 DVDs to Apple a week ago and I wonder how much time it may takes for them to send the crossgrade package back to me???
any idea???

You do not indicate your location.
In the USA, new sets were arriving in 2-5 weeks, depending on product and how many updates were in progress at the fulfillment house.
In Europe, replacements were taking 2-5 weeks.
You can check the status of your order online following the directions on your order form. The status is, umm, unreliable.

Safari opening linked .zip files directly from DVD instead of downloading

Dear all,
Safari opening linked .zip files directly from DVD (via Windows explorer) instead of downloading it tru browser click - it's working just fine in FF, Chrome IE. Is this a known issue? or something can be done by modifying browser setting/pref.
Expecting more advise on this.
Configurations: Windows XP
Safari: 5.1.7
Note: ensured there is no space in the file path, just linked the .zip file using href attribute!
Also tried with .xls, .doc insted of .zip same issue appearing.
Thanks in advance,
Thirilog

Hi
appzapper & such are pretty flaky at removing things usefully, imo.
Use the uninstaller for speed download - http://www.yazsoft.com/products/speed-download/faqs/?how-to-un-install-speed-dow nload-properly
or get a hold of FindAnyFile or easyfind & search for Growl & Speeddownload & yazsoft - but from all I hear, the uninstaller works fine.
Failing that, Safari's settings plist file isn't in caches
Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.safari.plist
is the place
& if you're still stuck, test & maybe download another browser using a New User Account.

Problem with Direct to DVD VRD-MC6: Playback width wrong

I made a DVD copy of a tape in my Sony Digital 8 Handicam DCR-TRV310, using an iLink cable, to my Direct to DVD VRD-MC6. Play back of the DVD in my Sony Blue Ray DVD player BDP-BX510 on my Sony KDL-46WL140 Bravia TV was stretched width wise, distorted. Adjusting the width setting on the TV did not fix it. Play back from the camera directly to the TV is fine. Proper 4:3. How do I fix this? Will the VRD-MC6 Direct to DVD make a proper 4:3 aspect ratio copy from my Digital 8 Handicam?
Solved!

DV camera signal direct to DVD?

I would like to burn video in real time, directly from my DV camera to a DVD. I can't seem to do this in iMovie or iDVD.
iMovie seems to want to save the video to the hard drive, but not to a DVD. It then takes 15 minutes and several steps to get the video to DVD.
iDVD will only take video from a tape inserted in the camcorder - it won't just take the camcorder signal and burn directly to DVD.
Hopefully I'm just missing something. If not, anyone have any suggestions?
I'm using a Cannon video camera and firewire connection to my MacBookPro.
Thanks

Try this instead of starting a new project use a QT movie / folder saved to your desktop and then follow these 2 steps below:

Btw .... the only way i know of making a dvd in real time is to use a dvd player/recorder with digital FW input. Connect your minidv camcorder/camera via i.Link (4 pin to 4 pin) and record directly to DVD-R like this:
Click Here:
It's best not to have any time code breaks whatsoever within your movie when using iDvd'08.
However, the nice thing about the second approach is that my own Dvd Recorder will record just about any dv or analog source and it could care less about time code breaks. It records the Dvd every time regardless of time codes.
A third option I should mention is using Toast which also allows burning directly to Dvd-R (although not quite as fast as the second option I listed above).
And lastly, I've burned directly to Dvd-R via i.Link on our PC also (however it takes twice as long as our mac/s even though its clock speed is nearly twice as fast and is an intel dual core cpu).
Hope one of these approaches works for you also. It does for me. Good luck!

Burning labels directly to dvd's

I want to burn labels directly to dvd's so have purchased Verbatim Printable dvd+r's. Having done a little research I understand I need an application akin to Disk Cover 3 but am a little confused as to whether I need extra hardware. I have the latest MacBook Pro 13" and am running OS Lion. Any assistance would be most appreciated, I'm hoping all I need to do is purchase the application and away I go.

Do NOT use adhesive labels!!!!!!!!! Because the DVD will no longer be perfectly balanced they can be hard on a DVD player.
Never, Ever, use labels!!! Buy printable DVD,s.
I use this program.

How to view photo thumbnails directly from DVD?

Years after the event, I've got my hands on a DVD of photos from a wedding where I was the best man. Rather than import all 1500 images into iPhoto (do I even have room?!), I'd like to view thumbnails off the DVD, and choose a small selection to save and print.
Does iPhoto (or some other application) allow me to view images directly from DVD, without importing? The images are JPEGs in a hierarchy of directories.
Thanks.

Alignment problems printing direct to DVD with Epson R220

I know this question isn't specifically related to iDVD but I wondered if someone could help please?
I recently bought an Epson R220 printer to print direct to DVDs created with iDVD as I know labels stuck onto DVDs are best avoided.
However, using both the bundled Epson Print CD software and 'disclabel', I find the print is about 1cm off centre. I'm really surprised by this, as I thought these machines would just work out of the box - detecting through the software where the centre of the DVD is? I've tried everything to remedy this (including the position adjustment within Print CD which allows up to 5mm fine-tuning). The problem is I need more than fine tuning - the print is way off!
I'd be interested to hear from anyone who has an R200 or R220 and might have had a similar problem as I've spoken to Windows users with the same printer, who report no such hassle.
Many thanks,

Thanks Hardy - really appreciate the links to the Epson site. I've tried using the manual settings as you suggest, and I've certainly witnessed a vast improvement. Basically, it seems that if I alter the position adjustment slightly and then opt for a manual print, the disc is centred no problem. It isn't quite up to the edge of the disc - there's about a 2mm gap, using one of the templates from the Print CD app. Have you noticed this also - or does the image print right up tight against the edge of the disc?
If I go back and opt to just 'Print' from the first menu that appears after selecting File>Print, (i.e. not using Manual to print) the image is consistently about 15mm off centre - I've tried this on a dozen tests. However, using 'Manual Print' this isn't the case. I wonder if there is a glitch here in the latest edition of EPSON Print CD (V1.4), in that you seem unable to specify 'Page Set Up'?
I've also gone back to the excellent disclabel application. Here I find that if I change the 90% default under page set up, to 100%, the disc is also aligned correctly.
Thanks very much Hardy for taking the time to work through this one with me - much appreciated.

Printing directly on dvd

I'm using HP All-In-One C309a printer running Wndows 64 bit. I'm trying to print directly on DVD with Cyberlink LabelMaker app. It prints but quite significantly off center. Is there a template or work-around for this printer. Thank you.

I have actually found CD-LabelPrint to be quite a simple and versatile piece of software considering it comes standard with Canon products and most importantly it is the only way to print to CD's on the printer.
What exactly don't you like about it ?

I still distribute most FCP projects via DVD. No matter which MPEG2 setting I use in Compressor 4 I get an error - even Apple's default DVD setting. Has anybody successfully output an FCP X project to compressor and then out on a DVD?

Anthony, thank you very much - this works, though I thought I had tried your process previously without success. I've tried so many things who knows. I've had zero luck going with the Send to Compressor or Export Using Compressor Settings under the Share menu. I'm also finding Compressor 4 to be a real dog on my system even though I have a brand new quad core machine with 8G of RAM. Prior to receiving your post I did come up with a different work process. Using Export Movie from FCP X and then loading the result in Compressor 3 works flawlessly. Thanks again!

Compressor is not working. When I export to compressor from FCP to encode DVD, FCP freezes and Compressor appears to be working but the progress bar never fills no files are created. I'm using a MacBook Pro 10.6.7 version 2.66 GHz core 2 Duo 4GB 1067 MH

I'm using a MacBook Pro 10.6.7 version 2.66 GHz core 2 Duo 4GB 1067 MH. I'm not new at this. I re-installed FCP successfully. I trashed the preferences. Please help.

Do you have any filters applied to your clips?
This happened to me before, I accidently had applied a broadcast safe filter to a color matte that was black....
I figured it out by duplicating my sequence and deleting items from my timeline 1 by 1 until I was able to export a reference movie.
Anywho, export again, this time with "self contained" movie selected.
Then try to import to Compressor.

Printer for printing directly onto dvd's

Can anyone provide recommendations on a printer that will print directly onto dvd's and is compatible with the macbook pro? Best Buy recommended a cannon for $100 and he said it is wireless and compatible. Thoughts?

To be a little clearer, your printer may accept the disk for printing, but the page size will still be a paper size, rather than something that says "DVD" or "CD". The documentation for your printer should tell you what the settings should be, and how to adjust the placement of the image so it is centered on the disk.
