compressor mpg 2 files sizes very large
I have just begun using FCP 7 and its version of Compressor for years.
I have produced two school videos on FCP X, (the latest updated version) and have to output to a file type to be taken to make a dvd from it.
Please correct me if there is any reason why this shouldn't be a MPEG 2Transport Stream from Compressor 4.1.2.
When I put out either file, both about 1.5 hours long they are about 8 GBs which surprised me. Why wouldn't they be closer to 4 GB since not everyone presses DL DVDs?
I feel the old compressor had more controls over how to handle the files to compress the size more. I oftenwent out to DVDSP and authored in there and it was rather idiot proof knowing that you could set that its a DVD and it HAD to fit.
How can I get this file smaller without killing its quality?
Thanks in advanced.
