These instructions will allow you to create a basic DVD of your video project(s).
First step: How long is your video? If it is 30 minutes or less, you may export it directly from Final Cut Pro. If it is longer than 31 minutes, you should export it through Compressor.
Exporting your project directly from Final Cut Pro for use in DVD Studio Pro:
***Please note: If you are working from your Xserve login, i.e. logged into your ownaccount and not logged into the computer accounts such as DOM Ingest,DOMfcp or DOMadmin, you must follow the steps below before you continueto make your DVD, as you are not able to burn a DVD from the network.***
- Go to Final Cut Pro: File--> Export--> Quicktime Conversion
- Click on Options, then on Video Settings and change compression to DV/DVCPRO NTSC - (default is set to H.264 do not use this one)
- Save your file onto the computer: Macintosh HD--> Users--> Shared
- Log out: Apple symbol (top left-hand corner of screen)--> Log out
- Log into DOM Ingest, DOMfcp, or DOMadmin and locate your file: Macintosh HD--> Users--> Shared
- Please skip ahead to the section entitled, DVD Studio Pro Quickguide to burn your DVD
Exporting your Final Cut Pro project using Compressor for use in DVD Studio Pro:
If your video is longer than 30 minutes, or you want to compress the audio into AC3 format or make some final audio level adjustments, you will want to export it from Final Cut Pro using Compressor.
DVD Studio Pro uses the same compression engine as Compressor. The benefit to using DVD Studio Pro is that, If you have a fast enough computer, it will run in the background. The benefit to using Compressor is that you have more control over your settings and you can easily create batch files to compress the same video into multiple formats.
To export your project from Final Cut Pro into Compressor, simply go to File--> Export-->Using Compressor...
Source Media: This will be your project, listed as Project Name - Sequence Name.
Setting: Initially this will say, Click the pop-up to apply a setting. Scroll down to DVD Best Quality (Choose the appropriate time i.e. 90 minutes) 4:3 for standard quality and select All. (Please note: You should always choose the time that is closest or greater than your video. For instance, if you have a 30 sec video you choose 90 mins. If you have a 95 minute video you select 120 mins.) Also, unless you are facing a FedEx deadline you should always choose the Best Quality setting (opposed to Fastest Encode). 3 settings are then applied: AIFF 48/16 (uncompressed audio); Dolby 2.0 (compressed audio) ; and Mpeg2 (video). You will only need either AIFF or Dolby, you will never need both. If your video is more than 30 minutes, you should use the Dolby setting. If it is less than 30 minutes, you should use the AIFF setting. (Dolby is 6 times smaller than AIFF, and also called AC3 because that is its file format). To delete one of the settings, simply click on it and hit delete. The default settings given to you work pretty well. For info on how to further adjust these settings, please view this online tutorial.
Note that you are creating at least two separate files, one video (.m2v) and one audio (.Aiff or .AC3). When importing into DVD Studio Pro, you must select both files to have both video and audio in your project (i.e. they’re not linked to each other).
Destination: When you click the arrow button next to the word Source a list pops up prompting you to choose a destination. Source is where the original file is stored. If you scroll down to the bottom of the list and click Other..., a window pops up allowing you to specifically choose where you files ends up being stored. 
Output File Name: If you want to change any of the file names, you can do so by double-clicking on the file name. Note that if you change the audio, the video will not automatically match it, you have to either copy and paste the file name or type it out again for the video. It’s helpful to name the files the same for continuity.
Once you’re finished click Submit and compressor will open a Batch Monitor, which enables you to view progress on your files. If everything works correctly, the Batch Monitor will indicate that the compression was successful.
Creating a DVD in DVD Studio Pro
DVD Studio Pro is a creative tool for finalizing your DVD projects. You can use this program to create and author professional quality DVDs with interactive title menu, submenus, slideshows, and clip collages. Although this program is fairly robust, these instructions will guide you through creating a basic DVD.
To open a new DVD Studio Pro project, click on the icon, then click on the File tab-->New. You will now have an empty template from which to begin your DVD creation process.
1. Set the DVD and video standard - SD or HD, NTSC or PAL
• Go to DVD Studio Pro Tab--> Preferences
• Under Project select the DVD Standard (SD DVD or HD DVD) and Video Standard (NTSC or PAL)
2. Import assets - Audio, Video, and Still image files
• Assets are movies, sound files, music files, photo stills and graphics. Formats of these assets include file extensions of .PSD, PICT, BMP, JPEG, Quicktime (.mov), Targa (TGA), TIFF (TIF), MPEG, and .AIFF files, among others. 
• Either Click the Import Asset icon in the toolbar, or go to File-->Import-->Asset, or drag a movie/still file directly into the Assets tab from a folder outside of DVD Studio Pro.
*Note: When you import a .mov, or similar file into DVD Studio Pro, it is split into two files: video and audio.
3. Create menus and sub-menus
• A menu is a presentation of the users’ option(s) that consists of at least one button, and can have a still or moving background, drop zones for stills, graphics, and videos, and can play audio simultaneously.
• To add a menu, click add menu in the toolbar.
• To use a menu template; click on your palette, select a menu, and drag it into your Graphical/Outline tab. You can adjust it by adding/deleting elements as you find fit. (This is probably the easiest way to create a menu)
• To design your own menus, you can use DVD Studio Pro, or create elements in other programs, such as Photoshop and then import them into DSP.
• Backgrounds can be static (still or graphic) or full motion (video).
• It's a good rule of thumb to name your menu, as they will be given the default names, menu 1, menu 2, ect. ect. To rename it, double click on the icon under either your outline or graphical tab, type in the new title, and press enter.
4. Add buttons to the menus
• Buttons can be shapes and/or are represented by text. Buttons link the menu to transitions, menus, or project assets such as videos, music tracks, and slideshows.
• With templates, buttons are already found on your menu, but you'll have to change titles and delete or add buttons as needed.
• To add buttons to a menu, click and drag a box under the menu tab into the area you want on the screen.
• You can adjust, move, or resize a button at any time by clicking on it under your Menu tab.
• To delete a button, select it in your Menu/Graphical/Outline tab and press delete.
5. Create tracks and slideshows
• Track: Tracks are the main content of a DVD project. A DVD can have a combination of up to 99, tracks, stories, and slideshows only.
a. Click add track in the toolbar. Each track created this way is empty.
b. Drag a video or video/audio asset pair to an existing track in the outline or graphical tab appends the assets to the track's existing assets.
c. Drag a video asset or a video/audio asset pair to an empty area of the outline or graphical tab.
Slideshow: Either click add slideshow icon on the toolbar and drag a to the slideshow, or drag a photo to the slideshow folder under the outline tab.
• You can change the slideshow specifics under the slideshow tab.
6. Link the project elements (first play, end jumps, idle)
• First Play - Under your Graphical/Outline tab, control click on the file (can be a menu/track/slideshow/story) you'd like to choose, and click on first play at the top of the menu. This will be the very first thing that plays when your DVD is inserted into a player.
• End Jumps - To set the End Jump, or what plays after an element is over, highlight the track you want to link in your graphical/outline tab. The inspector window will be labeled Track. The second option in the tab is End Jump. If you drop a track directly into a menu, it will automatically set the end jump to the button specified. If not, scroll through the list and select where you want the track to be directed after it has played, i.e. Menu
7. Simulate you project
• The DVD Studio Pro Simulator allows you to verify your project before you build the title and burn it by showing you a preview of what you have built so far. Start the simulation by clicking Simulate in the toolbar. This is a great way to quality check your project before you burn to disc.
8. Build and burn your project
• Burn: Builds VIDEO_TS or HVDVD_TS folder and burns a disc
• Build: Only creates the VIDEO_TS or HVDVD_TS folder but lets you select the destination of your folder
• Format: Requires that a VIDEO_TS or HVDVD_TS is already created
• Build/Format: Acts similar to the burn process, but lets you select the destination of your folder
We suggest that you choose the "Build/Format" option:
- Click on: File--> Advanced Burn--> Build and Format
- Name your file and choose "Build Location" (either the desktop or your Firewire drive if you have one)
- Click on "Build and Burn"
- Insert disc
- Allow DVD Studio Pro to work it's magic
- Eject disc
