Apple Certified Trainer Richard Taylor has posted a very useful and informative tutorial on Ken Stone’s site showing how to optimally setup Final Cut Pro so you can use cheap DVD-R media for media and project backups. He walks you through how to configure FCP’s Capture Settings to limit the size of captured media to under 4.36 GB so they can easily fit onto standard DVD recordable media. A side advantage of this method is that your long media reels will be simpler to scrub through and find specific scenes quickly. Great tutorial!
