Hi Alf - we got your video tutorial request but I think it might be best to answer here given your question:
"I shot the project on a Sony Z1 and cut in FCP ver 5.1.4.
I tried exporting to a 'HD DVD: HD MPEG 2 30 mins' format but when I imported it to DVD Studio Pro and made the DVD, it would not play on DVD player"
Which DVD player are you trying it in? Is it a regular domestic (SD) DVD player? If you're encoding HD DVD: HD MPEG you'll need to play it back on an HD DVD player or on your Mac.
In answer to your other question, "when I imported it to DVD Studio Pro and played it back lines would appear in the image during the slow mos", it would be most help full if you could post a screenshot of this.
Instruction of how to do this should you not already know can be found
here.
