can't burn dvd sp

[George M]

Hi,
I use fcp studio 2, and am unable to burn a file. I have tried mov, ac3 mp2, but no avail. I've looked at tutorials but they seem focused on menus and chapters. I follow what I can. But I get a formatting failed window.
Thank you.

Computer?
OS?
RAM?
What preset in Compressor are you using?
Length of video in minutes?
Codec of original video?

There isn't a default preset in Compressor.

You need to export the movie and then drop it into compressor and elect a preset.

Finally, without knowing what sequence setting and codec you used to create your video, I really can't help.

When you're in DVD SP, what happens when try "Simulate"? Does it work?

Tell us in detail exactly what you are doing.

Also which cam you used for the video would help.

But you need to understand how important basic information is in trying to assist.

good luck.
