  1. Greets,

    I have read the forums and the guides, and a guide is definitely missing ... how to take an edited project under premiere (which may include 5 underlying AVI sources), and export it for use by a DVD authoring program (such as MyDVD or DVDIT).

    Since there is no guide, I was hoping someone would be so kind as to lay out the steps, or at least the internal settings within premiere, which would be used to generate an output file, already converted into whatever specs a DVD requires.

    Clearly the first step is to "Export -> Export Timeline -> Movie", but what settings need to go into the resulting boxes????

    Any advice or help would be appreciated.

  2. I beleive Premiere 6.5 can make DVD's. If your using a older version then just create a AVI and import into TMPEGnc to make the file suitable for your prefered authoring tool.

    There are guides on this site that can help you with all I suggested.

  3. Yes, I am using Premiere 6.5, and no, unfortunately, as I mentioned, there is no guide even close to this. Instructions on how to use TMPGENC are not friendly or useful for premiere. The guides are MovieStudio and TMP and that is ALL there is here. I wanted to make this clear in my original post (and that I had also read ALL the forum posts with Premiere and DVD) so that I would not get the RTFM newbie answer because there is no FM here on this topic

    Premiere, I have been told, has a built in Codec which is fine for DVDIt, but I dont know the settings, and I figured someone here HAS to know what to answer the questions which Premiere 6.5 asks.

    So I renew my question, if anyone can help with the answers.

  4. It's not complicated.

    Go to File/Export and scroll down until you reach the very bottom of export choices. MPEG is what you want. Now it will come up with a box with the defaults -- I think medium is the default.

    I usually select High but as you select you will see in the large dialog box to the right the estimated amount of disk space this will use.

    Just enter your file name and away you go...

  5. That's It? No P Value? No Pad? No KBPS? No 48K?

    WOW - thank you very much.

    If you like to play with such things there is the advanced tab which will allow you to do all kinds of fancy parameters. However, the MC folks themselves recommend using the defaults and I do with very good results.

    This is pretty easy information to find in the manuals that came with Premiere 6.5. You did buy it, right?

  8. Thank you very much for your concern. It is deeply appreciated in light of the solutions in which I sought.

    The answer, of course, is that I do own it, but manuals ... when was the last manual YOU read

    Actually, my crowning achievement was installing my Audigy 2 into my machine (Windows 98SE) after using onboard sound, and all of a sudden my games started acting weird. I asked around, moved it from slot 5 to 3, turned off hyperthreading, to no avail. It wanted me to reinstall the drivers, and I did not have access to the drivers I downloaded, so I went and scrounged for the box, and pulled out the instruction/cd packet. As I reached in to get the CD I noticed a bright yellow piece of paper --- "WARNING TO WINDOWS 98 USERS ... you will experience gameplay issues unless you do the following". I did the following, and the problem went away. You would think I would have learned my lesson ....

    Anyway, thank you all for your help!

  9. I am glad they finaly included a more wide range compressor than the one they included in version 5!

    You can frame serve into Tmpeg and here is the link...

    Have tried it but had problems with no audio. But not a lot of time to find out why.

    LOL.
    Probably the last time I realized I was asking questions and researching material that was in the book. I felt real dumb too.

    But yeah, I'm male... what the hell is an "instruction book" or a "user manual". Sounds like another paperweight to me.

    We all do it.

    Glad you found the answers. Sometimes they're in the last place you looked, even though it should have been the first place you looked.
