I just started filming some sports games.
As expected files are quite large +50GB
Editing in iMovie 11 but for the life of me I can't seem to find a way to transfer the games to a DVD with any sort of decent quality. My intention is to share the videos with other players so they can watch/use, but the image quality on the DVD almost is unbearable to watch. Why is it I can upload the same video to YouTube from iMovie (albeit a much shorter clip) and the quality is much better (as original). I'm recording 1080p AVCHD format.
I've tried iMovie direct to iDVD - horrible
I played with the Preference settings (Best, Professional), single sided and double sided DVD disc.
I think using iMovie to Quicktime to iDVD is sightly better although the total processing time doing it this way is like 10-12 hours.
Are there any real options to do this with retaining the original image quality. It's kind of stupid to be able to record HD movies if you can't transfer them to a DVD to watch on a TV.
So how do they record entire movies onto a DVD with stunning video quality and I can't get a simple 90 min soccer game on a DVD with decent quality?
Frustrated
