Export to DVD

Every source I look for when trying to export a sequence to a DVD is old and says I need to use Encore.

I need to export a sequence to a DVD and make it loop to continually play. I have also had an issue before when I made a DVD the images were tiny on the screen.

Can anyone help me? I'm using Premier Pro CC 2018.

      From Premiere, export as MPEG-2 DVD format. Bring the resulting files (.m2v video and .wav audio) into Encore to author and burn. You must download and install Premiere CS6 to get Encore - it comes with the CS6 install. CS6 will live alongside CC, doesn't replace it.

      Alternately, I might suggest getting away from DVD. A looping DVD sounds like maybe something for a trade show booth or similar? Get a digital media player device for under $100. Put an HD-quality .mp4 file on it, and route the HDMI output to a flat panel. Voila! Much better quality in HD, much easier to create the .mp4 file than a DVD.

      Thanks

      Both do author Blu-rays but DVD Architect has problems with H.264 so using MPEG2 is a must
      Encore alternative http://tmpgenc.pegasys-inc.com/en/product/taw6.html

      Thanks for the response, John.

       

      I guess I would also like to know what the simplest program would be, exporting from Premiere Pro. It looks like DVD Architect does support DVD and Blu-Ray, but is that at the expense of it would transcode the Premiere Pro exported video and reduce the quality? 

      I also wonder how it would handle chapter markers created from Premiere, and since it doesn't appear DVD Architect has a trial version, I'm very hesitant to spend $100 if it's not going to work well in those situations.

      DVD Archirtect won't recognize Premiere Pro Chapter marks.  You can make your own in DVD  Architect.

      I would recommend DVD Architect for your DVD creation.  I came from Final Cut Pro/DVD Studio Pro and now use Premiere Pro CC 2018 and never had to deal with Encore, so I had to find a DVD solution from the start.  I searched long and hard and DVD Studio works for me.  In Premiere you still have to export your project (like usual) in the MPEG-2 DVD settings, but I then import the files into DVD Architect and create as I did in DVD Studio Pro.  It is $99 to purchase but you have a free 30-day trial period to test it out.  That's what I did and created a complete project during the trial period.  It will do as much or as little as you like as far as fancy menus, additional audio tracks, etc. and requires the same learning curve as DVD Studio Pro and (I assume) Encore. It also has Blu-Ray support.  You can find it here:

      Check it out and hope things work out!

      Try DVD Styler. It is free.  If you create an MPEG2-DVD video in Premiere, it will not transcode the file.  Also, it will accept almost any other format and properly encode it, including 4K video.  With this program you can create a looping DVD.  It comes with some builtin menus.  You can import your own menus.

      I know this post is from a couple years back, but are you still using this program?

       

      Trying to find a solution to authoring DVD's and Blu-Rays now that Encore is just basically useless, but I still edit in Premiere Pro and export with chapter markers, etc. I'm not even sure if there is a solution for disc authoring that doesn't involve transcoding or quality loss while also retaining those chapter markers.

       

      Definitely will miss being able to just send a menu to photoshop to make it a custom menu, though. 

       

      Let me know your thoughts, thanks!!

      I would not normally recommend putting 3 hours on a 4.7GB DVD, but...you said it's a conference. If the video has little motion, meaning it's a lock-down shot of people talking at a podium, then that can actually look good enough. It will compress okay since not much is happening in the scene.

      Perhaps try a few minutes as a sample first. Encode as MPEG-2 DVD and use 3.1 as the bit rate and burn a test disc with your material and see how it looks. Don't review the DVD on a computer, as they almost always look poor that way. Use an actual DVD player unit, preferably with HDMI output, going to a TV display.

      You will most certainly get recommendations to use a dual-layer DVD, but there are many headaches associated with that route, so up to you.

      Thanks

      Hi Abbey:

      Premiere Pro will only get you as far as your edited master and/or MPEG2 Encode (the file format required for DVD Authoring).  Are you on Mac or Windows?  I still keep an older Mac around with DVD Studio Pro for authoring, building and formatting play only DVDs (so, no menus and an "end jump" at the tail of the video track back to the same track).  You can certainly do this with Encore CS6, but it's a bit of juggling act to get it installed (you have to choose Premiere Pro CS6 under Previous Versions in Creative Cloud).

      If you're on Mac, Roxio Toast should allow you to drag and drop your edited master, select "no menu" and "loop" and then burn.  Roxio's their Windows application is called Easy CD & DVD Creator.

      As far as "tiny on the screen" goes, NTSC DVD-Video is 720x480 presented at Full Screen, Letterbox, Widescreen or Pan-and-Scan.  If playing a DVD on a set top DVD player, the picture will fill the screen (quality is vary based on encoding settings and the type of TV and player).  If playing on a computer with a HiDPI display, the picture at 100% will look small because with that setup it is small.  Scaling the picture to fit a HiDPI display will degrade the picture quality.

      Where is your video going to play back?  You can purchase a fairly inexpensive MP4 player (about $80) that can play 1920x1080 MP4 video files (looped do not) from a USB Flash drive to a display with HDMI input.  If you take that route, you'd just export H264 Match Source - High Bitrate from PR.

      -Warren
