Tutorial Overview

One of the questions we get asked frequently is how to create a standard-definition DVD when you are working with high-definition video.

In this webinar, Larry Jordan walks you through all the steps you need to know to make your video look great on DVD. This tutorial is absolutely PACKED with essential information with detailed tutorials on Final Cut Pro, QuickTime, Compressor, DVD Player, DVD Studio Pro, and Roxio Toast. You don’t need to own any of this software to watch this tutorial.

Larry starts by showing how to set chapter markers in Final Cut Pro, then how to export your video while retaining the highest quality. He illustrates how to modify the DVD compression settings in Compressor for the best results, and then builds a simple DVD using DVD Studio Pro. Along the way, he’ll show you how to test your video for quality at each step, explain what settings work the best, and how to avoid problems.

Once you watch this session, you’ll never worry about how to optimize your video for a DVD again.

Audience Level

This assumes a basic knowledge of Final Cut Pro, Compressor, and DVD Studio Pro. While this session illustrates a complete workflow, there will not be time to teach every aspect of each of these applications.
