Which compressor settings should i choose?

Hi guys.  need a little help.
I've edited a 40 minute summer camp video together and i've been using a HD camera that shoots in MTS files.  my final cut pro 7 has been converting all the footage to Apple Pro Res 422.    The problem is the file size is huge and i need to get it onto a dvd.   my exported final is around 30GB. 
So i guess i'll need to use compressor to get it down to a size that will fit on a DVD.
Which compressor settings would allow me to get it on a DVD and still keep good quality?
any help would be much appreciated!  thanks

You don't run the movie through Compressor before going to iDVD -the transcoding happens in iDVD.

Why not?
DVD Studio Pro is included as part of the Final Cut Studio suite. Final Cut Pro has not been available seperately for a number of years now.
Grab the installation discs, put it on the computer and learn the application. Much more flexible than iDVD and you won't have the issues that you are currently experiencing.

  • What MP4 Compressor settings should I choose for a 10 min 9GB QT video to be uploaded onto a website?

    What MP4 settings should I choose for a 10 min 9GB QT video (exported from FCP) to be uploaded onto a website?
    They said 'I've been trying to upload the video to our website but our IT contact has told me that it is too big.  Could you send the file in MP4 format compressed for web?'
    Any thoughts would be really appreciated.
    Warm regards

    Hi,
    Go to Compressor inspector window>Encoder tab>Click Video: Settings button>In the window that comes up go to Data Rate and change the default 220 Kbits/sec to 150.
    The resulting file (if DV, under a minute) will definiteltly be under 2MB and quality good enough. Remember that quality always depends on the source, the greater your original footage looks the better the compression result.

    Which compressor preset & settings should I use to fit a 2 hour QT movie from fcp onto 4.7gb single layer dvd in dvdsp.
    Thanks in advance,

    The 120 Minute preset is for two hours, but you may want to bring the average down and the high rate also.
    Take a look here for some info (make use to use AC3 and not aif audio)

  • What project settings should I choose in PE8 for frame rate of 29.97 if camera source unknown?

    Hi, I would like to know what project settings to choose in premiere elements 8 for a frame rate of 29.97, pixel aspect ratio of 1.3333 and 1440x1080?  Should I choose HDV, AVCHD or hard disk?  I didn't record the footage, so I'm not sure what it was recorded on.

    I am definately selecting NTSC - HDV, HDV, 1080I30.  I then import the video. It shows in the project media - properties as 29.97 frame rate and in the interpret footage it also shows as 29.97.  But when it finishes indexing and starts to conform the video is changes to 25 frame rate. 
    Please see images below.  When importing the video it is at a frame rate of 29.97 until the indexing has finished, then it changes to 25 before conforming video
    IMAGE 1. Project settings
    IMAGE 2.  Indexing image.  frame rate at 29.97fps
    IMAGE 3. Properties while indexing video - 29.97 fps
    IMAGE 4.  Interpret footage - still while indexing at 29.97fps
    IMAGE 5.  Finished indexing changes to 25 fps and starts to conform video?

  • Help! Which Java IDE should I choose, and more questions....

    Hello Oracle experts here, I am a college student and I have some questions about Oracle installation to consult you. These days I am learning Oracle, an currently I want to install Oracle on my PC. However I met two problems:
    1. Since I am a novice to learn Oracle, which Oracle products do you recommend? (Oracle8i Lite? Oracle8i Personal Edition? Oracle8i Enterprise Edition? other products?). I am currently learning PL/SQL and JDBC programming associated with Oracle, maybe something else later.
    2. I want to upgrade my win98 to Win2000(Professional or Server version), From your point of view, which OS is better to install for learning Oracle? Win2000 Professional version or Server version(my PC is an PIII and with 192MBytes memory)?
    3. In order to learn JDBC programming related with Oracle, which IDE is better to use? Is JDeveloper a kind of IDE? Is this it the best choose?
    Maybe the above questions seems naive to you, but I really need your help! Your suggestions to any of the above questions are welcome.
    Thanks!!!

    1. Enterprise, about the same dl as personal, so why not.
    2. Win2k Pro will do nicely(dont bother with Server, unless u need server for other purposes as well)
    3. JDeveloper is good, however as a newbie i think u should start out in notepad or alike.

  • What is the difference between the three network carriers and  if i am to use iPhone 5 in Bangladesh, which network carrier should i choose?

    I had one confusion about the network carrier of which one to chose. Actually I do not know the difference between them. Are they related to some sort of sim cards? I would be grateful if anyone could help me to get away this confusion.

    Unless we are in Bangladesh, nobody here can really help you with this.  If you purchased the phone there, you need to do that research for yourself.  You are the one who is there and on the spot so noone else can really help you with that.
    You need to contact the available carriers in your area and see what the differences are for yourself.
    The phone companies supply you with the appropriate sim cards when you take out a contract with them.
    Also, where did you purchase the phone from in the first place and is it an unlocked phone?  If the phone is not unlocked, then it won't work.

  • Live between UK and USA - which country region should I choose?

    Hi Everyone,
    I am from the UK but currently reside in the USA and will be here for quite a few years.  My main iTunes library is associated with the UK.  However, I wondered whether I should now switch the iTunes library to the USA? 
    If I do, does anyone know whether this makes a difference if I then want to listen to USA purchased songs in the UK, and vice versa?
    Thanks

    Y2J,
    Your library is not associated with any country.  It is your library. 
    Your Apple ID is associated with a country.  If you want to change the country at any time, you can easily do so, by clicking the flag at the lower right of any page in the iTunes Store.  However, you can only make purchases from the iTunes Store that you are physically in, so unless you are really into window-shopping, you don't have much choice anyway.
    If I do, does anyone know whether this makes a difference if I then want to listen to USA purchased songs in the UK, and vice versa?
    Once you have purchased a song, you can play it wherever you are.  Strange as it may seem, Apple does not try to detect that you have crossed a border so that it can reach in and deactivate your songs.  However, if you do not believe it, you can purchase songs in normal MP3 format, either from amazon.com or amazon.co.uk, that have no country association of any kind.
    Welcome to the USA!

  • Which project settings should I use importing from Canon vixia HF-G10?

    Help

    You can not change a project's specs in mid-project. You can only set them when you first start a project.
    You should not mix formats in the same project. Different formats and frame rates can behave very differently when processed and output by the program.
    You can certainly use a JPG in your project. Thought we recommend that no still image be larger than 1000x750 pixels in size for best performance.
    Most of these answers and many more are available in my books, by the way, if you're looking to fully understand the program.

  • Which Windows Phone should I choose?

    I am seriously considering an upgrade to windows, but I still didn't reach a decision to whether to go with Lumia 900 or Lumia 700.
    Any advice?

    Performance will be virtually identical, got my son a 710 and he's over themoon, but if budget is not an issue i'd go for the 900 as the larger screen gives a much better experience with Windows phone in my opinion, plus you get better hardware and camera. Both will however give the same speed and fluidity in use .
    Good Luck

  • Which graphics card should I choose?

    I am finally going to get a new Mac next month when Leopard is released, after 4 years of wonderful performance by my "old reliable" MDD G4. But with all the new apps from Adobe, and a lot of the new apps from other companies, the old girl is getting long in the tooth and is getting slower and slower. The beach ball is my constant companion.
    I do a lot of illustration work and my file sizes range up to 500 MB or so. They average around 150MB. Most are high resolution multi-layer psd files. Anyway, I was wondering if I need to spend the extra money for the ATI Radeon X1900 XT. I am not a gamer, although I do occasional video editing (mainly as a hobby) in Final Cut Express. Any advice/suggestions appreciated.

    Thanks Bud, now we can close the topic with your ultra minimalistic post..the circus is complete now
    BTW more memory does not change the video performances in some cases; the main memory is used from the processor, not from the video card anymore; that's the reason why the modern video card comes with 512 Mb of ddr3 ram or more; if the application is old it will try to drive the memory on board instead of the one on the video card, so from your point of view it would be irrilevant to have more or less memory; but for sure you wanna have the best amount of ram on your video card; and at this point ATi is the way to go, also because the video chip is a level higher than the Nvidia chip.
    I use 3d applications, so i need a lot of memory because when i render is the main processor that do the job, not the video card (that displays the preview and the interface of the application), so in cases like this (and like when you use audio/video applications like adobe or final cut or stuff like that) you want to have a lot of memory, even if is not used by the process due the memory allocation problems, for one single reason: if you load a couple of images or movies in an applicaiton, it is copied in RAM to speed up the process, so even if the program itself can drive only 2 GB, the process goes faster because teh entire material is stored in memory (but treated based on how much data can be handled from the software).
    sorry, had to do the clown show once more (now let me get my masks and leave the stage LOL)

  • Help! which application should I choose.

    I want to download an oracle application that deals with Accounts payable, accounts receivable, purchasing general ledger, order management. Which free download should I choose off the Oracle website? It's confusing.

    Jacqueline,
    you won't find ready-to-use application programs for free on OTN. You can download databases,application servers,utilities and so on.
    At least you need a database, then you have to program your application or to get it from another source.

  • Which project settings for project for Canon Powershot Video Editing?

    Which project settings for project for Canon Powershot Video Editing?
    I want to edit video taken with a Canon Powershot SD 550 taken in NTSC 640 x 480. When I start a new project, which project settings should I be using? Also when exporting the project to view on a computer should I stick with the AVI or will MPEG or another universal format give me better end quality?

    Hunt,
    This user has two thread topics here that are identical to ones at the forum which I frequent. Early on I  downloaded video from the Canon Powershot that he says he is using for the basis of my comments. So, I have put that video through gspot myself. Since the user is going between the two forums (mostly here), I did not want anything lost in the back and forth. The goal is to help attainment of the goal. That is why I am including comments at both locations:

    http://www.elementsvillage.com/forums/showthread.php?t=52298
    The user has gotten back to me on the video rotation issue, thanking me, but telling me that another workflow was identified...and, as I note, generously shared with both sites. I am in the process of personally checking out what he said worked for him in that regard. However, the user has not gotten back to me on the topic of project settings.
    So to expedite matters, when you get a chance, could you please check out my comments in that thread? I would be interested in your perspective on the matter and what I wrote.
    Thanks.
