The .mov files cannot be selected! I exported it via QT movie and using QT conversion and Compressor! WTF?

I am trying to burn it via DVD Studio Pro and when I go to select it....it is not selectable. is it the way it was exported?

@CKL685

Sorry I didn't got to this sooner. What version of DVD Studio Pro are you using?

hey im having trouble keeping the aspect ratio after the conversion... i dont knoe it its the titles because when i convert the clips its fine but when i add the titles it converts into 4:3 instead of 16:9 footage is all widescreen can you shed some light on this

[animaxvp]

Try using letter box ratio in quicktime.

As a professional, I recommend you start to use "compressor" over Quicktime. Due to the far superior encodes rendered in finalization. And the processing time is far quicker than "quicktime" Professionally speaking, quicktime is for amatuers...and looks like shit compared to compressor...

Thanks for the tips, man. Been editing SD for years, finally going into HD and it's like learning all over again. This helped a lot!

What about the compatibility issue? It says the image data rate is too high for MPEG-4 video simple profile 1.

Thanks Ed... that's what I needed to know.

Ed, please stop using bodies of women in your tutorials. It is distracting and needless objectification for the women. I appreciate your tutorials, but the images are in poor taste. Thanks, Ed.
