Q: Tweaking Compressor's DVD Presets

I'm authoring a DVD that is 61 minutes long in DVD Studio Pro.  I plan on using Compressor's 90 minute best quality DVD preset to get the movie's QT file small enough.  Music is very important in this project and I'm wondering if anyone can offer any helpful audio tweaks for the preset to get best sound quality?  Since the total running time is only 61 minutes, any advice on boosting video quality as well would be much appreciated.  Thanks in advance for your help!

    In the Encoder > Audio pane, set the dialog to -31. In the Pre-processing pane, set to None. Select a short, demanding section in Preview with in and out points and. Do the same for Preprocessing, choosing Light and Standard Music so that you have three Dolby Digital separate settings in the Batch window. Submit and then evaluate the three output files.

     

    As to video, if your source material is higher resolution than the DVD and will be down-sized (e.g., HD to SD), in Frame Controls, set Resize filter to Best.

     

    Good luck.
