    What format? If you want DVD SP to encode, I would use Pro Res 422.

     

    The preferred way is to have Compressor encode and take the files (there will be separate files for audio and video into DVD SP.

    Thanks, Russ. I had my problem resolved by re-creating file from Final Cut using the "Video Format" as "MPEG-4 improved" instead of "H.264" before. 

     

    My orginial source is a dvd came from Taiwan, I used software 'Handbrake' to convert it to MPEG-4. Input to Final Cut to edit it. Exported out with H.264 as Video Format, wishing to improve the image quality but run into 'file impaitable' when import to DVD SP.

     

    Now. I exported out Final Cut using the following parms, pictures quality is not bad.

     

    1. File format = MP4

     

    2. Image size= 1280x720 HD

     

    3. frame rate = 30

     

    4. video format = MPEG-4 Improved

     

    hope this help people who might run into same problem. I never use the Compressor, will try it next time. thanks Russ.
