I want to export my video clips in FCP 7 into 'MPEG1' format...how to do it? The video clips are shot from JVC video camera....

Just got some clips shot from JVC video camera.....now I have edited them in Final Cut Pro 7.....I want to export the complete clip from the timeline into 'MPEG 1' format...which are the possible ways?...because the 'quick time conversion' menu doesnt show the MPEG 1 format....and the clips are for movie so should that be exported in 360x240 or 720x480??

Mac OS X (10.6.7)

You did not tell us what for at you are editing in your timeline.

Doesn't really matter. Export the timeline as a self contained movie in its native format and settings. Open Compressor, add this movie to Compressor's batch and use the mpg-1 preset.

The manual that comes with Comrpessor is a hundred pages or more so you might need to open the help system if you've never use Compressor before.

Why don't you try and see for your self what happens.

In regards to size, you go do either size you wish, but it alll really comes down to what you need it for....
