Exported heavy video from FCP7 (.mov). How do I reduce size for DVD/internet without losing quality? was created by G.78

Hi,

I made a video using P2 card, imported in FCP7, and then exported in it's original format (DVCPRO25 HD) with size 1440x1080. It's a quicktime file. Quality once exported is very good but size of the file is 13 GB. How can I imported into DVD (4.7 GB) and make it suitable for online streaming without losing quality?

Thanks

When you create a DVD, the files have to be transcoded to another format that will reduce file size. The real question is, what is the duration of your video?

Same goes for online, H.264 will reduce file size.
