How do I compress 20gb footage to 4.7 gb for a dvd?

28.September, 2009

Im using final cut pro on a MAC and need to compress it to send to a duplication centre, how do i do it?

Quite simply you need to reduce the quality of the video.

By no means am I saying cut every frame manually, but rather save the video through Final Cut Pro as a compressed video, with a lower resolution.

In terms of video, higher file size will always apply in terms of higher resolution as well as higher quality.

    It aint gonna happen. Video files use a form of compression in the first place. You cant compress a compressed file. Your only option is to start whackin out footage.

    you don’t you break it into pieces and burn it to more than 1 dvd. it is impossible to shrink it that much.

    Sorry can’t be done. Even if that was compressed by 50% [which couldn't be done] you still looking a 10 GB finished job which will still take three discs.
