You have to purchase Adobe Premiere Elements 12 in order to get that feature. Or you can download a DVD authoring app from the app store. The app store method will be less expensive. I'm not sure on the quality of the output though and I'm not sure if they're compatible with the m2v files.

Which version of Premiere? CC does not include Encore, but you can download the Encore CS6 from your account. As it is part of Premiere CS6, I believe you would need to download and install Premiere/Encore CS6, and then you can uninstall Premiere CS6, leaving Encore CS6 installed.

If you have Premiere CS6, then you already have Encore CS6. In either case, from Premiere, use File > Export > Media to open Media Encoder. For FORMAT, choose "MPEG-2 DVD", then choose an appropriate preset from the list. For instance, if editing with 1080i, then you might choose NTSC Widescreen High Quality. For 1080p, then use the Progressive version, etc.

What is your source video format? If starting with HD, then check the box at the bottom of AME for Max Render Quality, it helps with the scaling.

Hit EXPORT at bottom and it exports two files, an .m2v for video and .wav for audio. Open Encore, start a New DVD project, and then File > Import > As Timeline and grab both those files for import. From there, I recommend finding an Encore tutorial, too involved for me to type it all out here.

Hope this gets you going at least, but search online for tutorials, there is plenty of good, free stuff out there

Thanks
