Hi everyone,
I created a 90 sec promo clip, for some friends. Its 30fps, 720p HD clip. I exported out of FCP, making a self contained QuickTime file. I then took that file into compressor, and created multiple web friendly files for them. They have asked me to give them a file they can create a DVD copy with. I used Compressor again, and it created a video and ac3 audio file (using dvd best quality setting), so I sent them that, along with the original mov file (that was exported straight from FCP). Long story short, their windows machine, and what ever dvd creation program they are using can't handle .mov files, and they don't know how to handle the separate video and audio file that was created.
Is there another compressor option I should use to send then, so they can create the dvd copy they need? Or would it be easier for me to burn the dvd, and just give them a physical copy that they can in turn make copies from that.
Thanks for the advice?
