Encore CS6: Transcoding Issue?

I have a project I've finished in Prem Pro CS6, and want to burn a DVD using Encore. When I try to do this, the resulting disc contains issues at a couple of specific points in the footage. The issue on each occasion is in the form of a repeated frame, this repeated frame being at the place where the subsequent frame should have been but instead is missing and the footage, in effect, jumps forward one frame and continues onwards from there, as normal.

The footage appears perfectly fine in Premiere Pro. The footage appears perfectly fine in Encore before you proceed to build a DVD disc or a DVD folder. As soon as Encore transcodes the footage, the errors appear in the timeline within Encore, and any disc or folder produced by Encore after this transcode has these errors in them.

Yes, the m2v file is audio only. There should also be a wav file as well. If you don't see this, post a screen shot of your PR export settings.

I'm with you now. I didn't realise the export will be as two separate files, one video and one audio. Thanks.

Which should I choose when first importing the Premiere Pro m2v and WAV files into Encore, Import as an Asset or Import as a Timeline?

Do you recommend a particular free online DVD and Blu-ray bitrate calculator? I've never used one before. Need to find out more about GOP settings.

Edit: I gather by experimenting, that the audio has to be imported as an asset. If it is imported as a timeline it will import onto a different timeline to the video. What about the importing of the video before proceeding with the importing of the audio though, Import Video as an Asset or Import Video as a Timeline?

I've done a very short test export from Premiere Pro using low-ish quality settings, imported the resulting m2v and WAV files into Encore and, yes, it builds without a problem. So now, I need to find out how to properly calculate bitrates using a bitrate calculator and choose settings accordingly for a (PAL system) DVD.
