Converting a 1080p timeline to 480p

I have a gig where I have to burn DVDs. I have the cloud, but am finding it difficult to solve my problem. Shot the video in 1080p.

My instructions are:

-Files should be h.264 format in the Quicktime (mov) container.

-Audio in video files is PCM with a 48 kHz rate.

-Files have a size of 853x480 anamorphic.

Please help!

Thank Jeff. I just realized how confusing I was being. I just sent Ann a note that explains it better I hope

Okay, here's an example of setting up Export to give client what they want. Choose QuickTime as Format, and select DV NTSC Widescreen as Preset.

Then modify settings for Video Codec = H.264, 853x480, Progressive, Square Pixels (1.0) (making any changes causes Preset to say Custom then).

Ann's instructions should get you sorted if you are burning the DVDs using Encore. but I have to ask: what "instructions"?

Also, using Ann's instructions avoids the issue of square pixel size. This topic always confuses me, but I believe the 853x480 was the "old" square pixel equivalent, and the new one (since CS4) is 864x480.

One cannot change mpeg-2 dvd settings.

When using just mpg the file needs to be transcode in Encore.

Thanks Ann. I do have the softwares, and I can reach the point of having the 2 files(audio & video), but the portal the client uses requires the end file to be 853 or 864 x 480 with the audio file being PCM. It has been defaulting to 720x480 with the audio being an ACC file. Pardon me if I'm repeating myself, but it's frustrating and I'm just trying to understand if there's anything I can do to work around this. Thanks!

I am guessing you want a video dvd and not a data dvd?

DVD files are exported with a mpeg2-dvd preset (720x480). H.264 get encoded again when authoring the dvd.

Burned to DVD with Encore installed along with Premiere CS6 which you can download from the cloud.

So in short: export from Premiere with mpeg2-dvd preset, import the 2 files (audio and video) into Encore,

Make menu then burn or make iso and burn with Imgburn.
