    muralidesigner

      Hi All,

       

      I am new to premiere cs4,

      earlier i used premire 6.5 for video editing.

      in premiere 6.5 for exporting video i had used procoder 2.0

      after procoder instalation it comes as plug in premiere 6.5 by using procoder i can export timeline as my desired video format.

       

      but now this procoder is not working in premiere cs4

      after i installed procoder it is not showing in premiere cs4.

      i tried export option in premiere cs4 but it has no .vob option for export

      now how can i export timeline sequence as .vob file and

      how can i work with procoder in premiere cs4? is there any chance to install procoder in premiere cs4?

       

       

      Thanks,

      Murali.

          As far as I know, Premiere by itself will not export to VOB, but will export to MPG

           

          A VOB is created by Encore, as the final stage of authoring a DVD

            I agree with John T. Normally, the creation of a VOB (Video Object) container is done in an authoring app., like Adobe Encore, which he mentioned. Up through Premiere Pro 2.0, there were limited authoring capabilities, built in. However, with PrPro CS 3, those were removed, and all authoring functions were provided with Encore, which has shipped with PrPro, ever since.

             

            Now, the VOB is just a container. It will have mostly the MPEG-2 DVD AV file, which can span several VOB's, which are only ~1GB in size. The first VOB might also contain the DVD Menus, and navigation instructions, all of which can only be ~ 1GB. If those elements are less, then the first part of the MPEG-2 DVD AV file will be in there also.

             

            While I do not know one, there are probably utilities available, that can wrap an MPEG-2 DVD AV file into a VOB. Still, you have Adobe Encore, and it can do that, plus a whole lot more, so just finding a program to wrap the MPEG is likely a waste of time, unless you have other, very specific needs.

             

            To utilize Encore, you have basically three ways (as of PrPro CS 3 and up) to accomplish that:

             

            1. You can use ADL (Adobe Dynamic Link) to Import your Sequences/Timelines directly to Encore.
            2. You can Export a DV AVI file, then Import that into Encore.
            3. You can Export an MPEG-2 DVD file, then Import that into Encore.

             

            Good luck, and if you do have some other, specific needs for the VOB container, let us know, as someone might have suggestions for that.

            PS - If you do go the Encore route, and are not familiar with that program, I strongly recommend the very good, and very active Adobe Encore Forum: http://forums.adobe.com/community/encore/encore_general
