Adobe Premiere Export Problem

[penn]

Hi, New to DVD work and have been on a steep learning curve for the past few weeks thanks to all the help from the forums on this site. However, I am still puzzled by a few things. My goal is to transfer our home VHS movies to DVD, which will involve a reasonable amount of editing, not just topping and tailing. I have a Canopus ADVC 110 for transferring VHS to hard drive and have settled on Adobe Premiere for editing. This is mainly because I use Adobe Illustrator in my work every day and a lot of things in Premiere have a familiar feel to them plus I think it is a superb program. My problems arise when I want to export from Premiere. I have tried using the Adobe media encoder with the Pal Mpeg2 generic setting but it is very slow and not that good in terms of quality. I have tried the Export Movie method using the Microsoft DV AVI setting but the exported AVI is not recognised by the Trial version of TMPEGEnc encoder that I am using. How do I get my edited movie into good quality MPEG2 format from Premiere ? Am I right in thinking that each application has it’s own native codec and if this is correct can you use many different codecs with the same program i.e can I use a different codec with Premiere so that my exported AVI can be imported by TMPEGEnc ?

Thanks in advance

If the codec is installed it should show in both programs..you may have put in one of the programs before the codec you used was installed..
There's nothing shitty about the MPEG ouptut of PREMIERE tho'
just experiment with outputting MUXED or SEPERATE STREAMS depending on the requirements of your preferred authoring application
