Re: Best compression product

Ok. What I think you are saying here is that you don't want the curators having to copy files from a DVD disc onto their hard drives?

If that is the case and you want to deliver a typical DVD then you will be limited to standard definition only. I.E. 720 not 1920.

That 1920x1080 MPEG-2 M2V file you have generated may play back fine on your Mac Pro but it's unlikely to play well on an older Mac and it certainly won't playback from any DVD.

Your choices therefore are to deliver a 1920x1080 file that will need to be played back from a drive, either the curators hard drive, after being copied from DVD, or from a portable USB drive as suggested by Kris.

OR

You take your 1920x1080 source file and do a top quality transcode to SD MPEG-2 with compressor, then author it to a DVD with menus, if you like. This will then play as typical DVD would when the Curators insert it. With good quality HD source and compressor doing the transcode to widescreen SD, it will look great.
