premier output to vcd or svcd?

[novatix]

I' ve captured using premier 6.5 some videos from a mini DV camcoder through a firewire port in DV quality after editing it I want to save it on a cd to be seen on a stand alone DVD player. But I got poor quality any idea?

1. upgrade the mpeg encoder (on adobe web site)
2. use the templates on the installation cd in "extras" or download them from adobe web site

I use Ulead Media Studio for editing videos from my camera, I make short films and eventually put them on VCDs. What I do is when I finish editing, I output the file as a standard DV video, the same type as the captured files, Ulead usually does this in a few minutes since everything of that file type doesn't need to be re-rendered, not sure how Premier handles it. Anyway, after outputting to a new DV file, I use TMPGEnc to compress the DV file into VCD or SVCD. The encoder that comes with Ulead is really bad, there are a lot of artifacts in the final mpeg. I remember a long time ago Premier also gave me terrible results, just that Premier took a lot longer to encode; most likely due to my mpeg plugin though. But TMPGEnc will give you the best quality, most likely better than what you can output straight from Premier. The downside though, is that you need a bit more space on the harddrive, although, I have around 200gb total.
