Burning a mastered DVD directly from FCP

1. In FCP, make sure that your final sequence is open in the Timeline, then go to File>Share.

2. For Destination Folder, click Choose and select a folder on your hard drive.
Click below (Apple TV is the default) and change to DVD. Then check the box below that says Create DVD. Another dialogue box will appear on the right, choose a title for your DVD, and you have a choice of black or white for a background. You can also add an image. Click OK, FCP will begin exporting, and in a few minutes will ask you to insert a DVD.

3. Once FCP is finished burning the DVD, the burner will open. Close it, the DVD will load, and Apple DVD player should open. Watch your DVD to make sure it works! This is now a mastered DVD that should play in most standard DVD players.

*To make a BluRay HD DVD, follow the same steps but choose BluRay instead of DVD.
