I'm trying to export a project to Mpeg 2 so that I can burn it in DVD Studio Pro. When I go to quicktime Conversion MPEG4 is the only mpeg format available. How do I get it so I can export it into Mpeg 2 so I can burn? Will DVD SP burn MPEG 4 format??? Please help because I"m really mad at this program.

You use Compressor for that.

My experience is based on FCE, but I believe DVD Studio Pro will perform the conversion to MPEG2. Most of the time the file is kept in the lowest compression format in the editing process until DVD Studio does the conversion to DVD format. Apple products normally does not work in MPEG2. If you convert to MPEG 2 earlier, DVD Studio will convert it again for the disk.

On FCE, I believe I can use QT to convert to MPEG2 if I buy the MPEG 2 for it. For FCS, it is in Compressor if you are not directly creating a DVD.

Compressor creates the appropriate files that are directly used by DVD Studio Pro. No conversion is needed.

If you use compressor as xstep suggested, then DVD Studio Pro will on created the needed items for the menus and other things for the DVD.
