How do I export a video from Final Cut Pro and burn to DVD on Lion

"I just need to know how to get the best possible picture onto a DVD that will play in any DVD player. I can output my finished FCP project (Which was shot in HD)as a Quicktime file with the basic settings but it looks like crap. How do I configure the output as HD and still get DVD Studio Pro 4 to accept it and burn it to a disk that will play in a DVD player? Basically I need to know how to get my finished FCP project from FCP to a DVD in HD." from Creative Cow forum
And according users experience searched on-line, the workable way can be:
1. You can try from FCP
File > Export > QuickTime Movie (setting include: Audio and Video, you may also have to export as a .dv depending on your project settings).
QT will export as MPEG-2
2. "There are lots of different ways to do this but this is what has worked for me for a few years now.
Export a self-contained QT movie from your FCP timeline using "current settings." Open Compressor and choose your bitrate. I never go much past 6.5 bit rate CBR best quality. The CBR setting will get you a good looking encode for your 6 minute show. If your project was a 2 hour movie then I'd recommend something completely different for you. Encode your audio to the industry standard AC3 file format instead of staying with .aif audio. The combined bitrate of your video and .aif audio may get high enough to cause some DVD players to choke. AC3 audio is a DVD standard and has a much lower bitrate." from Creative Cow forum

Know more about VLC Media Player to have more fun

VLC is the favorite media player for most people because it plays everything they throw at it without hiccups. No hunting for codec. But VLC can do a lot of other things as well. so lets see together which more things vlc mediaplayer can do.
How to have a better VLC experience?
When annoying interruptions hit
Depending on your own computers settings, there is this annoying habit of your screensaver interrupting a video youre trying to watch, now its easy enough to turn off your screensaver through the options in your OS, but what if you dont want it off? Well, VLC has an option to prevent your pesky screen saver interrupting the video footage and as long as the VLC is running, you wont get bothered.
All the sound
While, there are all kinds of ways to adjust the sound itself and to tweak the options to get the best experience possible, there are a couple of other features that can give you that little something extra. One of those features is the ability for you to listen to podcasts through VLC media player. Podcasts are now a very popular way of getting out information and discussing topics, so you can stay right up to date with any of the industries that you follow. Similar to the podcast feature, the VLC also allows you to listen to the internet radio.
Whether it is the podcasts, internet radio or just customizing your own sound experience, its all there for you to do within the VLC media player, bringing you all the sound experiences that any other free media player could offer.
Interruptions also not only prevent your short term watching, but also your long term. If you do have to stop playing a video for any reason and want to resume from that part when you return, you have a few options. You could skip parts by pulling along the tab that runs along the timeline bar, but you cant see whats going on and you could over skip and see things you not up to, however there is a handy feature if you can remember or you note the time that you stopped watching and then you can enter that precise time and the video will skip to there and you can resume your movie or video.
Your own hardware
Youre obviously given all the choices that you would want to change any of the settings within VLC, but if you have a slow computer with a low Resolution screen, then youre not going to get good results anyway. The same can be said for sound, if your trying to play the a movie or video, that has a fantastic blockbuster feel to it, youre not going to get much luck from built in laptop speakers, but if you had your own surround sound system and a high end laptop or desktop, then youre on your way to a better viewing experiences.

Home Alone the best Movie for your Christmas

Christmas will coming, what movie do you want to watch? Have you known Home Alone?
Eight-year-old Kevin McCallister (Culkin) feels slighted by his large, obnoxious family and throws a temper tantrum on the eve of a vacation trip to Europe. Exiled to his room by his mother (Catherine O'Hara), Kevin fatefully wishes that his family would disappear. The next morning, he awakens to find himself all alone in the house. Scared at first, he soon proves adept at fending for himself. As his guilt-stricken mom begins an arduous journey back from Europe to rescue her son, Kevin elaborately defends the house against a pair of menacing but comically inept burglars (Daniel Stern and Joe Pesci).
On Christmas Eve, Kevin overhears Harry and Marv discussing plans for breaking into his house that night. After conversing with a Santa Claus impersonator and watching a local choir perform in a church, he comes across Marley. The two of them talk, and he learns that Marley is in fact a very nice man and the rumors about him are not true. He tells Kevin he is watching the choir because his granddaughter is in it, and he never gets to see her because he and his son have not spoken in years after a big argument they had. Kevin advises him to reconcile with his son.
After leaving the church, Kevin heads home and sets up various booby traps inside the house. Harry and Marv break in. After the two spring every trap in the house, Kevin flees to the second floor of the house and dials 911. They chase him out of the house and he flees to the vacant neighboring home. The Wet Bandits catch him when he runs to the top of the stairs and hang him on a coat hook on the door. Marley has sneaked up behind them and knocks them out with a snow shovel and takes Kevin home. Shortly after, they are arrested.
Kevin wakes up the next morning and is disappointed to see that his family is still gone. He then hears Kate enter the house, calling for him. He goes downstairs and the two of them meet and reconcile. Immediately after, the rest of the McCallisters, having traveled directly from Paris to Chicago, arrive. Kevin keeps silent about his encounter with Harry and Marv, although Peter finds Harry's missing gold tooth and wonders what it is. Kevin and Buzz have a moment of reconciliation. He then goes over to the window and sees Marley greeting his son and his family. As he is hugging his granddaughter, he looks up to see Kevin. He waves at him and Kevin waves back, smiling. He watches as Marley heads inside with his family. However, Buzz interrupts him by calling out, "Kevin! What did you do to my room?" He immediately runs there and the film ends.
The first half of HOME ALONE features the sugar-coated sentimentality that can usually be found in a Hughes film, while the second half is full of unanticipated sadism (a close-up of Stern's bare foot slipping slowly down a six-inch nail is the film's most ghastly image). As directed by Chris Columbus (HEARTBREAK HOTEL), the film's slapstick falls flat and only the pain remains. Yet the film's message seems even more disturbing than its violence. This could be the first comedy--it's certainly the first holiday film--which focuses on child abuse. As Kevin shoots pellets into the intruders and takes a blowtorch to their heads, he's directing the hostility he feels toward his neglectful parents at these two guys. The only really likable thing about this film is Culkin (UNCLE BUCK, JACOB'S LADDER). He's an uncommonly natural child actor, but even he doesn't always survive the tiresome gags (the aftershave bit is funny once; three times is tedious).
If you want to back up the movie, you can burn it to DVD with DVD maker for mac, or convert video to mac for enjoying, also you can convert video to iphone 4S.

How to play DVD on Mac lion for watching

Most people are aware that you can purchase Hollywood movies on DVD. But the real breakthrough of DVD for millions of people is the ability to store video footage, films, photos and slides accumulated over decades onto this durable media.

Things get trickier with Macs. I recommend downloading VLC, an open-source media player that sometimes circumvents region encoding. The DVD drives on different computers (including various Macs) come from diverse manufacturers, and VLC plays out-of-region discs on some, but not all of them. Unfortunately, there's no way to know if it will work on your system until you try. Fortunately, the program is free.
You need a DVD player for your Mac PC or Mac pro, but the default DVD player: Mac DVD player disappointed us that when you want to directly play my dvd on apple dvd player,it can't do that,so you need a third part program which can help you copy dvd to dvd media file,then you can play that!
The best recommended DVD player for Mac is: VLC, free.

VLC is a free and open source cross-platform multimedia player and framework that plays most multimedia files as well as DVD, Audio CD, VCD, and various streaming protocols.



Install VLC and open it, then select File > Open Disc. Click on the Disc tab, click on DVD, select the device, and click OK
Or select: File > Open File..., point it to the VIDEO_TS folder.

Hoto remove DVD protection, region protection?
We know DVD has 6 regions.1: North America; U.S. territories; Bermuda 2: Europe; Western Asia; Kingdom of the Netherlands etc. 3: East and Southeast Asia; 4: Oceania; Central and South America; Caribbean; Mexico; 5: Africa, Central and South Asia, Belarus, India, Mongolia, North Korea, Russia, Ukraine; 6: Mainland China.

Most commercial DVDs use encryption that keeps them locked to one or more "region codes," meaning the discs you pick up in other continents usually won't play on an American DVD player.
Although laptop DVD drives are technologically capable of playing any DVD, they force you to switch among region settings to play imported discs. Try switching this setting more than a fixed number of times (five over the entire life span of the computer), and the setting will be locked forever.

For example, if you switch from Region 1 (the United States and Canada) to Region 3 (parts of Asia) to watch a kung-fu flick you picked up on a trip to Hong Kong, you'll have to switch back to Region 1 before playing any movies you purchased at your local Best Buy. Watching that one Jet Li movie just burned up two of your five switches-and not even reinstalling your operating system will get you more.
There are plenty of programs for Macs that allow you to rip DVD movies on Mac created by some clever programmers. I recommend Doremisoft DVD Ripper for Mac which allows you to rip DVD movies to MP4, MPEG, MOV, H.264, FLV, AVI, AVI, WAV, WMA, MP3 etc any SD formats on Mac easily.

For the free VLC player so far only support to Mac OS X 10.5.4, if your Mac has updated to 10.7 Lion OS, then you can use DVD Ripper mac to solve the problem by converting DVD to other video formats for playing on iTunes, QuickTime, Apple TV etc.

How to create DIY DVD on Mac?
Have you ever dreamed of creating a DVD, burn any common Videos to DVD disk and do the Customize Menu like professional DVD maker? It sounds great, yes, DVD Maker for Mac is just the tool to to achieve this, it allows you burn dv, wmv,3gp, mov, vob, mpg, asf, flv, avi, rm, rmvb, mp4, mkv, mka, m4v, ac3, tod, mod to DVD-5 and DVD-9 and offer Customize Menu to to edit the DVD Background, Menu Title (DVD Name), Button Style and Frame (Video decoration Frame).

What you need to do is just : Load videos to Converter; set DVD-5 or DVD-9 output; Do Customize Menu; Begin burn to DVD.

Know something about Digital Camcorder Memory Formats

No matter how you're recording your video, there are standards for how your video is compressed and encoded to make your data file. There's a huge alphabet soup of file types out there. Some codecs have better image quality than others. Some make larger file sizes than others. It probably won't surprise you that larger file size doesn't always mean better.

Digital Tape

There are two primary digital tape formats: Digital 8 and Mini DV. Digital 8 is an 8mm style tape used only by Sony. Mini DV records video to small cassettes. While you’ll find both formats on the market, camcorder manufacturers are steadily reducing the number of tape-based camcorders they sell.

While tape-based camcorders are less expensive than their rivals, they’re not as convenient, at least where transferring video to a computer is concerned. Moving digital video from a tape-based camcorder to a computer is done in real time – an hour of footage takes an hour to transfer. Other formats such as HDD or flash memory, transfer video significantly faster.

If you’re less concerned with storing and editing video on a computer, tape formats still provide a high quality, low cost digital option.

DVD

DVD camcorders record digital video onto a small DVD. DVD camcorders typically record video in the MPEG-2 format and can be played back in a DVD player immediately after recording. DVD camcorders are good for consumers who want to be able to instantly watch their video after recording and are not interested in editing the video. Blank DVDs are also fairly inexpensive and easy to find.

DVD camcorders do have limitations. Because the disc is constantly spinning, the camcorder battery will drain quicker. If you jostle the disc while it’s in motion, you could disrupt your recording. If you opt for a high definition DVD camcorder, you’ll have a very limited recording time, particularly at higher quality levels. DVD camcorders are also fairly bulky.

Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Camcorders

Hard disk drive camcorders record video directly onto an internal hard drive on your camcorder. HDD camcorders have the highest capacity of any storage format available – meaning you can fit hours upon hours of video on the drive without having to transfer it to a computer. Items on a hard disk drive camcorder can be deleted and moved around within the camcorder allowing camcorder users the ability to easily organize their video.

While hard drive camcorders can store hours of footage, they also have moving parts. This means the battery will drain quicker and jostling of the device can potentially disrupt recording.

Flash Memory Cards

The same flash memory cards used in digital cameras are now being used to store digital video. The two most popular formats are Memory Stick (used exclusively by Sony) and SD/SDHC cards, used by the majority of camcorder manufacturers. For more information on SD/SDHC cards, see this Guide to SD/SDHC Camcorder Flash Memory Cards.

Flash memory cards have several advantages over other camcorder formats. They’re small, so flash memory camcorders can be significantly smaller and lighter than their competitors. Flash memory has no moving parts, so there’s less drain on the battery and no concern about disrupted video due to excessive jostling.

It’s not all upside, however. Flash memory cards can’t store as much video as an HDD. If you’re going on an extended vacation, you’ll have to pack an extra card or two. And high capacity memory cards aren’t cheap.

Many camcorder manufacturers offer models with built-in flash memory. See Guide to Flash Camcorders for more.

Blu-ray Disc

To date, only one manufacturer (Hitachi) offers camcorders that record direct to high definition Blu-ray disc. The advantage here is similar to DVD – you can do your filming and then drop the disc directly into a Blu-ray disc player for HD playback.

Blu-ray discs can store more video than a DVD, however they’re susceptible to the other drawbacks of DVD: moving parts and a bulkier design.
