Compressor4 - over 40 hours for a 125min movie - (double layer)
Salute
I am about new to FCPX and Compressor 4, but this is because I was quite confortable with iMovie and my new projects were asking me to jump to the new apps.I am spending hours and hours reading the user's manual and listening to great tutorials but there still is a part of experience I won't get without being on the floor... Here I am.
Got a 125 min movie which I sent from FCPX to Compressor 4 cause I need to deliver it on a DVD - and I've choosen to work on DoubleLayers because all the things you know....
Now, here are my few questions. It keeps on taking 30, 40, 50 hours before burning on a DL disc. I do use the simple mp2 settings for exporting but would it be because I'm using DL disc? I've tried a few versions (saved on my HD) to ProRes422 and it took much less time.
Is it because it's a 2 hours film? It feels like if it was much longer than two separate 60min movies (with all the same settings) - am I right?
Therfore, should I make 2 stand alone movies (in ProRes for instance), and my next issue would be to build a DVD with 2 stand alone movies and try to make chapters with each of 'em (it may sound ridiculous for most of you but I've never done it with Compressor) 😕
On a double layer?
I beleive you got my whole thing...
Thanx for your time
