Is there a question in there?

Help us with what you are using or intend to use to author the DVD.

Umm... you need a to author a DVD in a dedicated program. DVD studio pro is what comes with final cut studio, or idvd if you don't have any experience...

From FCP: "File">Export> Quicktime mov.

Then you'll have a QT movie exported from your timeline. Take that movie and make a DVD out of it in idvd.

You can't make a DVD in final cut pro.

I guess the FCP export setting would have been my question, so .mov then idvd

Correct.

And yes, there will be a quality hit when encoding to m2v.

That is the nature of DVD encoding

What would be the best way to creat a data cd with the same interview that can be played on a PC or Mac ( Non dvd format )
