Exporting a QuickTime Movie for DVD Use
The process of exporting your movie as a standard QuickTime file is the same whether
you plan to use iDVD or DVD Studio Pro for creating a DVD.
To export a QuickTime movie for use in iDVD or DVD Studio Pro:
1 In Final Cut Pro, choose File > Export > QuickTime Movie.
2 Configure settings in the Save dialog.
In most cases, you will leave the Setting pop-up menu at Current Settings and include
both audio and video. If you have created any markers, choose DVD Studio Pro Markers
from the Markers pop-up menu. iDVD and DVD Studio Pro can use either self-contained
or reference movies, allowing you to decide whether to make the movie self-contained
based on other requirements (disk space and so on).
3 When you’re ready, click Save.
For more information, including detailed information on settings, see Chapter 17,

Using Compressor to Create DVD-Compliant Sources
for DVD Studio Pro
iDVD, DVD Studio Pro, and Compressor all use the same core encoding software—
each encoder creates the same high-quality results. However, Compressor gives you full
access to all the encoder settings, whereas iDVD and DVD Studio Pro provide fewer
options for simplicity. For more information, see Chapter 20, “
Using Compressor
with Final Cut Pro ,” on page 279. For details about MPEG encoding settings for DVD,
see the DVD Studio Pro User Manual.
