Hello all...please excuse me for any mistakes but I am a complete novice at this.
To resume, I use imovie (iLife '07 NOT '08) and it works just fine for me; easy, simple and quite good quality. I have just bought a HV20 after reading this forum and various reviews...but my problems seem to have started.
I filmed in auto and auto plus cinemode and captured everything fine in real time. I then did some editing (just reducing scenes etc, nothing complicated) and then, and then, and then...I had to "export"...
After reading some posts here (i didn't and don't understand all this business about pull down etc...) I went for 1920x1080, then I tried H264 etc...only a short scene of 30 secs...The problem was the speech that had been recorded...it played back from the file as if the tape was turning slowly...the image was fine but the sound !!!
Anyway, my question is two fold...
1. What should I use as the "export" option (H264, no compression, ...??)
and secondly what is the best way to get the best picture onto a normal 1 layer DVD? (I use i dvd, then Toast 8)...I know I can't get HD on a normal burner (apparently you can but that's not my point) and I don't have BluRay or HD...I just want a good, "film like" (hollywood) finish/quality to my film/dvd.
Thanks for any help..
