FCP Sequence Settings

Help, I am using a mix of jpeg stills with jpeg video for final out put of a DVD and Bluray 16:9 what settings do I use in the Sequence settings? I am keen to use the full quality of my material as I am using the Nikon D3s. Until now I have been using settings Frame size:1920x1440, Pixel Aspect Ratio:Square, Field Dom: None, Compressor Uncompressed 10bit 4:2:2

In the Audio/Video Settings: Sequence Presets Uncompressed 10-Bit pal 48KHZ

Mac BookPro, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

You'll want a frame size of 1920 x 1080. I would just make put the Jpegs into an Apple Pro Ress with 1080i setting. That way your renders should be pretty quick as opposed to using a Long GOP compression like HDV. It will also afford you a very nice color space and beautiful picture for Blu-ray. Once you're done with the cut, simply export it using File>Export>Quicktime and use that file for your Blu-ray and Standard Def DVD.
