Re: Burning to DVD

Hi Kevin,

Your video SOURCE (camera files) can be ANY size, up to and including uncompressed, as this has nothing to do with any limitations on the delivery format (files will be compressed for DVD at the end). By shooting at 7mbps, you have limited the initial quality. I'd recommend shooting at the standard 24mbps or whatever high-quality setting your camera offers for best results.

I work with Premiere CS6 on the PC and don't know the Elements or FCPX workflow, but generally you can do your edits in the NLE, and from there, EXPORT TO DVD and the software handles the rest as far as conversions go.

Please review your software documentation and search online for tutorials on how to accomplish your goals with the software you are using

Thanks
