I'm not sure if this is the right forum to post this in, but hopefully it is.
I have a short film that was shot on S16mm, transferred to HDCAM, and edited in FCP. I'm trying to make a DVD for the film and don't know what the best way to go about compressing the film is. I tried the DVD Best Quality setting in Compressor, but that ended up pixelating my text in the opening credits over black, and makes the scrolling end credits flicker.
I initially exported the film as a Quicktime movie file with Apple Pro Res 422 1920x1080 24p 48Khz settings. The Quicktime itself plays fine with none of the text issues. The HDCAM tape exported from FCP directly is also fine when played on an HD Monitor. The scrolling text plays perfectly.
The Quicktime movie file is 8.55gb in size. What would be the best way to get this file onto a playable DVD without the pixelating text and flicker problem in the scrolling credits?
