Ok, I'm at my wits end here and would really appreciate some help.
I'm trying to burn a dvd with studio pro of a 45minute video. The footage is hd1080i.
However compressor does not seem to work at all on this system and I have no way of reinstalling it. I have a copy of mpeg streamclip but do not know what settings I need to export from Final Cut Pro or Streamclip to keep the highest possible quality.
Every time I try and burn in studio pro the programme says there is not enough room on the dvd.
I can provide more details if people need it. Please, please help me!

If you want to keep your video 16:9, I'd convert to MPEG2 (m2v) using the 16:9 NTSC CCIR 601/DV pixel aspect ratio. Audio should be converted to .ac3, which will save disc space.

I do want to keep the 16:9 aspect ratio.
Where am I converting to Mpeg2? Streamclip of Final Cut? Sorry can you step by step that for me as I am not sure where I am looking to find those export / convertion settings?
