Hey guys, I am working on an Adobe Premiere 6.5 project and in the end would like to burn it all on a DVD with menu's and what not.
Now then, I would export it all but it takes too long... So I was thinking of exporting it to a MiniDV or Video-tape... and then capturing (importing) it and converting it to MPEG-2 in the process.
Is this possible, and if so what program do I use. If this is wack, what other method should I go?
If this makes no sense, what I am trying to say is, I want to get my Adobe Premiere project to a DVD, but the fastest way without losing quality.
Oh and what program is the easiest to put together a DVD with Menu's and Chapters?

The method that I use is to export to entire project or the work area to a frameserver. The frameserver requests frames one at a time from Premiere and feeds them to a MPEG-2 encoder, in my case TMPGenc Plus. For instructions as well as links to frameservers, you can visit http://dvd-hq.info and go under Guides and Articles and click on the link for Frameserving. The articles talks primarily about two different frameservers: Video Server and AVISynth. I use Video Server although I think it might be a wrapper around AVISynth.
By using the frameserver, you will not need to export your video to tape, nor will you need to export a DV AVI file back to your hard drive.Tools used: ScenalyzerLive 4.0, Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0, Adobe After Effects 7.0 Professional, Adobe Encore DVD 2.0, IFOedit 0.96, DVD-lab PRO 1.53, Adobe Audition 2.0 -
Oh yeah, I forgot back to the original post...
If you're doing software encoding, you're out of luck. It's a long process, that's usually done overnight..
As far as exporting back out to the DV, and reimporting, you're probably losing even more time. Since Premiere6.5 comes with an MPEG encoder Plug-in, you could do it straight off the timeline.
The only real difference in encoding speed would be the spots where you might have some transitions, and such...
If you truly wanna sp$$d things up, you have two choices.
1) Capture in MPEG directly, and then authour,
2) Use an onboard encoder, like Matrox, or Canopus. Basically, as you export for video, these boards allow for realtime encoding. They were built with Premiere in mind, so that when you wanna render a transition, you don't need to wait. Their proprietary codecs allow for realtime viewing.
This is my dream, but at $1200 Cdn., it's only a dream
I personally authour with DVDLab. It's my favourite. -
Ok. So my best bet is to go check out that website and see about frameserving. (I am kind of a newbie to all of this).
Now something that sparked my interest, is the fact you can use TmpgEnc to convert video from the timeline? How would I go about doing that? I've never heard of that before.
But all in all, this whole conversion process will take alot of time? -
OK, I understand that website you posted. I'm thinking, in the end I'm going to have to multiplex the .m2v with the .wav, right?
So then I'll be able to edit it with DVD authoring software.
I don't need any difficult DVD Authoring software. Something simple, and easy to understand and use.
I dont need motion menu's, All I need is a basic custom menu. (Maybe with background music.) And then a link to the movie, and another to Extra's (bonus material). And then while playing the movie, I want chapters.
What software can do this, but the easiest way? -
I don't understand why you don't use the Mainconcept encoder built in Premiere 6.5?
The output is very good and with a lot of options so you can control the bitrate and all that. The speed of the encoder is -at least on my system (amd XP2000, 512 mb ram)- arround 1.5 to 2 times real time. You have to remember that all the transitions, titles or effects are rendered to mpeg2 and not DV, so you save a lot of time compared to one of your options, feeding the timeline back to the camcorder (the output have to be rendered to DV quality). So I'll recommend you to try this before frameserving to TMPEGnc or CCE.
The resulting files are a mpa(audio) and a mv2 (video). I use adobe Encore for authoring, so no need for multiplexing. Other software will ask for one file, so you can multiplex these files with TMPEGnc for example. -
Ok, so to avoid all confusion, I will export with Adobe Premiere and wait. What do I export to: Avi, or Mpeg? Or does it export as MPEG-2?
Oh and about Encore. I know it is a good program, but where can I get tutorials on how to use it? It is confusing to me, I played around with it, but I need a guide to help me.
I also tried out Pinnacle Studio 8. What do you guys think, is it good? Or should I try to learn Encore?
Thanks for all the help so far! -
Yes, encode to the built in encoder for now (MainConcept), and do it overnight...
Depending on your authouring program, most of them prefer to assemble your Video (.m2v), and audio (.wav,.m2p,.ac3) during output. So it's preferrable that you encode separate streams..
But for ease of use, try encoding to MPEG, which is (.m2v+.m2p)...
Try a few simpler autouring proggies before jumping into Encore.
Sonic MyDVD, DVDLab, ULead DVD MovieFactory all come into mind.... -
Ok, so would a program like Ulead DVD Workshop or Pinnacle Studio 8 support the whole .m2v and .mp2 formats?
If not, Encore would definitely right? Because I can probably find some guides or tutorials for Encore.
What do you guys think?
P.S. Thanks for the link, I wasn't aware Wrigley Videos covered Encore. -
Ok so I checked out a few tutorials on Encore. Now then, I have a couple questions.
1. What settings must I put Adobe Premiere 6.5 at when exporting to AVI?
2. Can I make custom buttons in Encore(.psd)? -
Alrighty then. I guess I'm on my own now. Well... Thanks for the help earlier.
All I really need to know is how to make custom buttons from pictures. But I guess I can find it out.
