I'm making a 70 minute DVD. Should I export that to quicktime and use DVD Studio Pro to encode it to MPEG-2.....or should I export MPEG-2 directly out of Final Cut Pro with Compressor 2.0?
Compressor is your best option. It has the best optimization for DVD, MOV, or w/e your compressing to. Don't pay 1300 for Final Cut Studio if your not gonna use it. Use the presets they have for 120min DVD and 80min I believe it is. Obviously use the 80min one or w/e is closest.
