Adobe Encore is aging and getting buggy without any updates from Adobe since 2013. So I explored alternative ways and found a likely replacement.
In this post, I lay out the steps to authoring a DVD using FCPX.
Creating a DVD ISO file using Final Cut Pro X
- Create a new Library. DO NOT create Project yet.
- Import video clip.
- From the browser, right-click on the clip to create a new project. (this is to maintain the frame size and frame rate)
- Add chapter markers by pressing M on the video clip in the timeline. Change the standard marker to a chapter marker and give it a label.
- Import the closed caption file if available. Select all the closed caption clips in the timeline. From the inspector, Edit Roll > Add caption role > CEA-608 (do this only once). Change all caption to CEA-608 (for DVD). Correct all the errors reported.
- Select File > Share > DVD… (Require Compressor App for this)
- INFO: Fill in Title, Description, Creator, and Tags.
- SETTINGS: Follow these…
- Click Next and wait for the IMG file to be generated.
- Copy the IMG file to the desktop.
- Go to Spotlight and search for Terminal.app.
- Type in “hdiutil convert [filename].img -format UDTO -o [filename].iso”.
- You will get a “[filename].iso.cdr” file.
- Delete “.cdr” and you have an ISO file.
- Test the ISO file on a Windows system to ensure it works.
