Exporting HDV for DVD Studio Pro
In some cases, using open GOP (1080-line) MPEG-2 media in DVD Studio Pro can
cause DVD decoder problems, especially at the start and end frames of media files. To
properly transfer open GOP MPEG-2 HDV media to DVD Studio Pro, you should export
your media from Final Cut Pro using the Export QuickTime Movie command. This
command conforms the beginning of the MPEG-2 media to a closed GOP structure,
which is compatible with DVD decoders.
