Burning Dvds

[Roamfilmer12]

Hello all,

I have been trying to turn an h264 file into a dvd copy, and the application 'burn' isn't working.  Does anyone know how to create a dvd out of a premiere video?  It's a short film-only eight minutes long.

You cannot make a dvd with Premiere Pro, there is no burn option. (or is this Premiere Elements?).

Only option is 3rd party authoring tool.

TMPGEnc Authoring Works 6 - The Ultimate DVD / Blu-ray / AVCHD Authoring Tool - Pegasys Inc.

Mac or PC?

Cyberlink Power 2Go 13 can burn a DVD or Blu-ray discs.  It only works on  a PC.  The H.264 video from Premiere can be burned to a DVD.  The quality is as good as Blu-ray.  However, it can only be played on a Blu-ray Player.

This would be a data disk?

Are you trying to make an actual DVD-Video disc that will play in a set top player, or a data disc that will be loaded ointo a computer to play the file?

The latter is simple. Get a copy of IMGBurn (PC only, but free) and it will do anything you need it to.

The first case is more difficult as DVD-Video needs to be correctly authored, and H264 is not DVD-Video compliant.

If you could please let us knbow exactly what your intended end result will be, and your system details (OS etc) we can get you running.
