Burn DVD with Canon 5D footage
"Hi, A week ago I shot with the Canon 5D MkII a short movie. I imported all the files (.MOV) in my Final Cut Pro. I edited the whole movie and now I'm searching for the best way to put the movie on DVD. What I'm trying for the moment:
Export a Quicktime not-selfcontaining movie from FCP.
Import that file in Compressor.
Setup the wizard with "DVD: Best Quality 90 minutes"-preset.
Setup Job Action -> burn DVD.
Will that give me the best solution?
Are there better solutions to burn on DVD?
And what will be the best solution to just have a movie-file for my computer?" from forums creative cow
