Maury what codec are you using for export?
I believe my version of FCP defaults to DV-NTSC

I generally use DC30+ or Pixlet codecs.

After entering:

FCP > File > Export > QuickTime Movie

I select:

Settings: 'Current Settings' or 'Custom'

If 'Custom' then select 'QuickTime Video Settings': e.g.
Compressor: 'DC30+' or 'Apple Pixlet Video'
Quality: 100%

Click OK

Check 'Make Movie Self-Contained'

Click Save.

Good luck.

I gather that you can choose that setting (DC30+) as you have a Miro DC30+?

As I have gone to mine and can not find it in the menu.

Good luck and have a TON of hard drive space! I was shocked to learn a simple 14 second clip from the HD10 saved as a Pixlet QT movie was over 500 mb! YIKES!

Sorry for the confusion. I became aware of the DC30+ codec from posts by Eric Bilodeau both here and on:

http://www.lumieremedia.com/hdv/

You can download the DC30+ codec from the Italian site:

I do not have a Miro DC30+ or any other associated hardware on my G5. The DC30+ codec works fine as a 'stand alone' codec.

Good luck.

Found it

Thank you

I'll try it right now and get back to you.

Given Heath's figure you can fit less than 5 minutes of Pixlet on a 4.7 DVD. Still good for archiving small projects.

There also seems to be a new DVD player that can decode
HD movies encoded in Windows Media 9 technology.
