NEW TECHNICAL SUBMISSION INFO

So I can easily make the DVD for the cinema space I require you all to provide me (Phoebe) with:

1. Your film in an MPEG 2 format.
IE 2 files, an .m2v file for the video and a .aif file for the audio. You make this from final cut pro but choosing export using compressor and selecting mpeg.

2. Your film should be 'top and tailed' with 2 seconds of black.
IE you make the fade in from black and fade out to black within the file of your film.

3. Your film should include title/credit at the start or end
Obviously this is within the 'top and tail' of black.

The reason I want you all to give me an MPEG is because it means I am not resonsible for the compressing of your film. I would hate to make any decisions on how it should look or sound.
Also, DVD Studio Pro can only burn a disk if all the files are in the same format (especially audio). It would take all weekend for me to compress all your films in the same format and I don't have the time.
If you include the black at the top and tail you can make the creative decisions about how fast you want your fade or a cut.
You need to be responible for the audio levels within your own film. Doing an overall audio mix of all the audio of the different films is incompatable with the DVD burning process.
