Quicktime to DVD compliant files?

[RKelly]

Hello--
I have a friend working on a film using a mac. He wants to take his video file in quicktime format and put it on dvd, so he asks me to do it since I have a dvd burner, but I use a pc. I have TMPGEnc, will that do the conversion for me? If not, is there another freeware program which will convert it to dvd compliant video? To the best of my knowledge, I have to convert all files into Mpeg II for compatibility reasons in order to burn onto dvd. Any help much appreciated, thanks!

click on CONVERT or Tools here to the left and select "mov to" under conversion.

What software is your friend using to create the film? Quicktime lets you export to AVI or MPEG-4. When I create movies on the Mac, I save to AVI, then transfer to the PC and convert with TMPGEnc, so I don't lose so much quality converting to so many different formats.

what app is your mac friend using to make this movie?
the simpler iMovie?
or something more like DVD studio pro? Final Cut Express?

Did he do any sort of conversion of that .mov file over to anything?

He could export it as mpeg2 and you would be good to go. or he could author the dvd himself and just transfter over the VIDEO_TS folder or even the .img for you to burn

knowing this will allow you to decide on the best means of "transporting" the final product for burning
