Hi,

I have been trying for months, after reading everything I could within the Forums, and probably confused myself.

I have a Sony TRV17DV and capture AVI files using Pinnacle Systems DV500+. Capturing the video is OK, I can even, after many tials and tribulations use some of the things in Premiere 6 now, but when trying to encode for burning VCD MPeg1 and DVD Mpeg2, having problems. I am setting up for a PAL system, using Pioneer DVD A03 on to DVD-RW (cost too much using -R) whilst trying to work all this stuff out.

I have DVDiT LE, MYDVD, Impression 2.0 chaseing my tail I think.

Could someone who knows the exact steps please let me know the procedure to do this from start to finnish, I would really appreciate it.

I know I have a problem with my DVD Player not being able to read the Discs I am using (VCD I am using CD-RW and DVD-RW for DVD to get the final production right, leading to burn to CD-R and DVD-R).

I am also trying to place Still Images into Premiere 6.0.1, can do all that, but get lost trying to output the file again to go into SVCD/VCD and DVD.

If you want to email me that is OK. But logical precise steps please for this old brain of mine.

I have purchased TMPGEnc Plus today as the trial version of TMPGEnc MPEG had run out and I needed to be able to encode to MPEG, don't mind support good software (at least that is what I think is the view in the forums regarding the software).

Again any help appreciated.
