I have completed a project in Premiere Pro. I need to export it to a DVD so I can upload it to YouTube from an alternate location.

When I "export"... "media" ... and select the mpeg4 format and then select "export", the file seems to go nowhere after the process is completed? I can't find it any place. What am I doing wrong?

David, are you trying to author a DVD? Or just copy the file for transfer?

I created the project myself. I have always been able to burn a DVD through a transfer from the Premiere menu to Dynamic Link, but that function does not allow me to change the format. So, I was told to use the "export" - "media" function. I can select the MPEG4 option and a window pops us showing the Premiere project is being created, but either it's not liking the destination where I'm trying to send the MPEG4 file or it's not actually creating the file to start with.

In specific answer to your question, I shot the footage all myself, created the project, rendered the entire project and from the project (the file menu in Premiere) I am trying to copy that self-authored project from Premiere.

thanks for all your help!!!

What the question was trying to find is if you need a DVD for distribution, or are just trying to copy/duplicate your project onto portable media so you can upload it to the service from another computer.

For the latter, I'd use probably a USB stick rather than an optical disk.
