Ok so I've captured pal footage into FCP4 with my xm2. It's of a music video i did the other weekend. I've editied the video and the music is all in sync when i play back on my monitor and external monitor. Problem is when i tried burning it into idvd it looked horrible and was out of sync. Almost like it was choppy. Anyone have any ideas?

Can you post what settings you used pricesely and what things
you did?

I made a self contained movie in FCP4 (latest version) and dragged it into Idvd. Thats about it.

A self contained movie has properties like codec used, resolution,
bitrate etc. Then I assume iDVD has some settings regarding
mpeg encoding as well. I'm not into the Mac myself so I don't
know how it exactly works, but I do know you can set all sort
of properties along the way.

Try to be as elaborate as possible if you want people to help
you. Say things like "my car broke down" doesn't help that
much. Especially in the virtual world.

Thanks!
