Best Burn Option For Sony Ex1 Hd Footage?

[filmfan1]

Please help, I'm totally not tech-savvy!

 

I made a student film on the Sony Ex1 HD camera and compressed the final version to a .mov file. The file played in quicktime looks GREAT, but I tried to burn it with Toast and it does not look very good... I attempted to create a disc image of the quicktime file and then mount the disc image, I'm not sure if that was the best way to go about it. Any suggestions? Thanks SO much!

If they let you operate such a camera, then you're tech-savvy enough...

What codecs and resolution does this file have at this point?

 

but I tried to burn it with Toast and it does not look very good...

Please describe how it "does not look very good". Sharpness / color / artifacts?

Did you perhaps set Toast to make a DVD-Video disk image, and preview the mounted image in Apple DVD Player? That sounds good if you're going for a Standard Definition DVD in this effort.

Please describe the specification of what you planned to get out of Toast, and what options you set in Toast.

Are you SURE you're burning a Blu-ray Disc (and NOT a DVD-Video disc)? You should be, with your EX1!!
