How do you encode only part of timeline to MV2 in Prem 6.5?

[jones_randy]

I have a 60 minute video I have created and I want to export certain clips using the Mpeg encoder in Adobe Premiere 6.5 so I can create a DVD with chapters/screen selections using this seperate clips. How do you mark only sections of the video to export it? I am using Mark In and Mark Out at the in and out points of the clip I want to encode an Mpeg file for, but it tries to do the entire video. Am I doing something wrong? Is there another way to do it? I chose to only encode Work Area instead of Entire Project along with Marking my IN and OUT points for the clip, but it just doesn't seem to work. Thanks in advance for any information you can provide!

You need to create a single avi file of the video you are working with. Then put this file in your source window and only put in your timeline what you want to encode. It is a m2v not a mv2 also.

On the timeline there is a slider for the work area. Without having it open now, I think its the yellow one. If you drag those to set your start and end points and then only export the workspace it should work.

But if all you want are chapters than just export it as one clip. You don't need separate clips to do chapters for DVDs, SVCDs, or VCDs. It actually works best if its one long track. Just let the DVD Authorer insert the chapters.

I tried creating chapters, but I use Sonic DVDit as my authoring software and it doesn't pick up on the chapters for some reason. I probably need encore or DVDLabs or something else. That is what I thought, create chapters, burn to dvd and then I would be ready. Unfortunately it has been more involved. I read in adobe forums where you could export seperate clips then create seperate menus in DVDit and it works pretty good. I would rather just mark the chapters and them let the authoring software do the rest. I might look in to purchasing something else to do this. Any recommendations? Thanks!
