1. Re: How to output to DVD for duplication
Ann Bens Dec 9, 2013 8:32 AM (in response to jimic0953)If it will fit depends on what kind of file it is.
Is it avi or is it mpeg2-dvd or something else. If its avi or something else it gets re-encoded, is it mpeg2-dvd then its to large but will fit on a double layer dvd.
Rule of thumb: 1.5 hours of timeline in Premiere will fit nicely on a DVD. Above that compression will kick in.
Best is to export from Premiere with mpeg2-dvd preset.
Import the files into Encore, make menu and burn.

jimic0953 Dec 9, 2013 8:42 AM (in response to Ann Bens)Thanks Ann, this is very helpful, but again, my problem is, my dvd isn't working and I need to get the disk done asap. So my question still is, can I export the whole project and have the disk created on another machine? BTW, I did output as mpg 2, not avi.

John T Smith Dec 9, 2013 12:46 PM (in response to jimic0953)Tell Encore to create an image ISO on your hard drive... any other computer with ISO aware software may be used to write a DVD
If you exported from PPro as MPEG2-DVD and your 2 files (audio and video) total 5.3Gig you will need to author in Encore and create a dual layer project for writing to ISO
While some is for CS5 and later, many of the ideas/tutorials in the link below do still apply
The PPro/Encore tutorial list in message #3 http://forums.adobe.com/message/2276578 may help, with more help in message #5

Ann Bens Dec 9, 2013 2:39 PM (in response to jimic0953)Yes you can still export your project butl it is not going to fit on a single layer dvd, you have to use a double layer DVD or lower the bitrate.
You can use a bitrate calculator for that.

If the other machine has a dvd authoring program you can export as mpeg2-dvd.
If you only have a burning program export to mpeg2-dvd, import that into Encore and make a folder or better an iso.
The folder or iso can be used on the other machine.
