  1. what's the best setting to take a quicktime .mov file and compress it with Compressor for playback on a dvd? the movie is 2 minutes long ( a trailer i did sound for)
    originally I put a .mov in DSP3 and it really butchered it so i hope that Compressor will fix this problem for me. or will it?

    Compressor will produce the file based on the settings
    you give it. DVDSP3, on the other hand, will encode
    it based upon its default encoding preferences.

    Using a Bit Rate Calculator, you want to create
    a Preset within Compressor for MPEG-2 conversion, of an
    target max encoding of 9.6, with a average of 9.0.
    Your audio would be set for a a standard AIFF 48khz,
    16bit Stero, uncompressed file.

    DVDSP3 may give you a "bitrate too high" error on muxing, so be sure to encode your audio after compressing with Compressor through A.Pack to get an aacceptable 192kbps
    audio file.

  3. Can one use the output from Compressor directly in Toast. I have FCP, which came with Compressor, but do not yet have DVDSP. Wouloe Toast accept the MPEG files or would it re-compress by its opwn method?
