Burning Multiple Movies to one DVD in Premiere Elements 7.0

I am compiling a series of movies which I shot of the first year of the lives of my grandchildren. Each is a separate movie, about 10 minutes long. I would like to burn all of them onto one DVD - how can I do that? The burning option seems to be available only for the movie open when I click on Share.
Many thanks.
Walter

Walter,
As Paul_LS states, the movies need to be combined in PE (or another editing program) due to the DVD-specs. They allow only one movie (in your case the combined Projects) per DVD disc. There are a few programs that can "hack" the DVD structure, but they are a lot of work, and usually do not yield the results that the user is seeking. This is not a limitation of PE.
You can also place your DVD Markers to the start of each of these movies, to all navigation in the DVD to each, should you wish.
Good luck,
Hunt

Burning multiple movies to one DVD

I want to burn 8 short movies to one DVD. Do I have to use a DVD RW or is there a way to burn all 8 to a DVD-R?

You probably only have a single-layer drive so you
will be limited to a maximum playing time of about
120 minutes in Best Quality mode. We recommend
Verbatim or Maxell DVD-R for single-layer discs.
BTW, iDVD compresses everything to mpg-2 so the
playing time of your content in minutes is the
important factor - the size of your original files in
MB doesn't come into play.

thanks for the tip on type of DVD, but my immediate problem is that when I burn to a DVD, I can only do one movie. I am looking for a way to select all of them vs 1 at a time. I tried the advanced & edit DVD contents but I still have the problem that the program will only burn one movie at a time & then because it is DVD-R, I can't add another. I need to be able to put all 8 on at once (or at least one after another). Is there a way to "combine" them for burning?

How do I burn multiple projects onto one DVD?

I have several projects saved that are small enough to fit on one DVD. Not sure, though, if I burn project #2 after project 1 has been burned, whether the software is smart enough to keep them separate and not over-write project #1.

Once you have burned a Timeline content to DVD-VIDEO format on DVD-R disc, the disc is finalized and you cannot burn a second time on that same disc (no multisessions). Even if you use a DVD-RW disc, the program will erase what is on the disc before burning anything to it.
Now, if you have 3 projects and you want to combine them to be part of one DVD-VIDEO on DVD, then you need to remember that you cannot import a project (project.prel) into another project.prel. So, you have going to have to export the Timeline of each of the projects to a file. The file type selected should be consistent with the goals of the project. To be discussed in more details if necessary.Then each file is brought into a new project (set with the appropriate project preset) which is burned to DVD VIDEO on DVD disc.
Stop markers at the end of each of the first two files is done. But, never place a stop marker at the end of the last file on the Timeline. It is not needed and can cause problems in the project.
Please consider and let us know if you need clarification on anything written.
Thank you.

How to burn my Video to a DVD in Premiere Elements 7?

I have a
video of my son's Basketball team and I save it
on my Hard Drive thru Premiere Elements.I did make it a
project. I now want to burn it onto a DVD and don't want
anything more such as timelines and or screen lines.
Can someone step me thru the process?
Thank You

THEVIDEOKID
We have a lot of details to sort through systematically to get your the DVD-VIDEO that you want, but let us try some preliminary questions and answers to get started:
a. The file that you clicked on to open your video in the Premiere Elements 7 Timeline...did it have a file extension of .prel? That is the file extension of a Premiere Elements project.
b. When you started that project, did you set it up for NTSC DV Standard or Widescreen or the PAL counterpart?
c. If you are working with the project.prel, when you open the project.prel, do you see your video on the Timeline? Does it play back in the Edit Mode Monitor if you hit the Play button of the Edit Mode Monitor?
d. When you get to Share/Disc/Disc, what preset did you set...NTSC Standard or Widescreen or the PAL counterpart?
e. After you have hit Burn in the Burn Dialog and during the encoding burn, the image in the Monitor stays at the image where you left the Timeline indicator back in the Edit Mode....nothing changes there, except maybe the image will dim during the encoding/burning process.
f. IMPORTANT...do you get a message saying the the burn to disc has been successfully completed, followed by the DVD burner tray opening?
g. If so, put the DVD back in the burner tray, go to My Computer/DVD drive. Right click the DVD drive and select Explore. Do you find content of two folders, one named OpenDVD and the other VIDEO_TS?
Where are you trying to play back the DVD-VIDEO that you believe that you created?

How can I create a collage of multiple photos on one slide using Premiere Elements 4.0?

Hi all!
I recently bought Adobe Premiere Elements 4.0. I'm having trouble with something and was wondering if anyone could offer any assistance?
I'm creating a slideshow using photos and videos, but with my photos I want to be able to create a few collages, by using multiple photos on the one slide. Usually you just have one photo on the screen and it moves on to the next one, but I'd like to have eg. the occassional slide that I can have say 4 photos overlapping onto each other, like a photo collage. Does this make sense and does anyone know how I can do this? I've searched the instructions and can't figure it out and the Adobe support line said they couldn't tell me but pointed me to this forum...
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks :)

There are basically two ways, with a variation, to do this.
First, you could size the still images in Photoshop, or other, for the size needed on your Project's screen and then use Motion to position the image where you want it. The variation on this would be to use Motion>Scale to size the image and then Motion to place it where you wanted. You would stack the images on various Video Tracks as necessary.
The other way would be to place the images on the correct Video Track and use the Track Matte to limit the view of that image. You will probably use one of the two variations from the first way (Motion>Scale and/or Motion) to get the image where you want it, but then the Track Matte (building in Titler is easy) to eliminate any extraneous image data.

Is it possible to burn 2 movies on 1 DVD?

I've got a problem with Compressor 4. How can I burn two movies on one DVD?
Regards, Jan

Thanks for your help! Yes I've got FCP X....;) But I'm asking now myself: Do DVD Studio Pro and Toast work with FCP X? Of course, I can import normal files, but I think, that I'll loose a lot of quality, if I don't export files directly from FCP X right?

Unknown error 2130906112 while burning DVD in Premiere Elements

Hi am trying to burn a DVD using Premiere Elements 3.0. My computer will go through the lengthy process of attempting to burn the CD. At the very end, the drive pops the DVD out and I get a message that states: Unknown error 2130906112. I have burned successfully in the past, but am unable to now. I have tried to do this about 7 times with this specific project and have had no success. I have used two different types of DVD+R (Memorex and Verbatim). My project is approximately 56 minutes long. Any help and/or advice is greatly appreciated!!!!

Great news!
I just can't see which is highlighted while doing so. I think it has to do with the template I chose in Premiere Elements while designing the movie.
The lack of the Sub-picture Highlights (the official name for the indicators of which Button one has navigated to), could be caused by several things:
1.) the inability of the PS3 to adequately display them. Like I said earlier, most people, that I know, use the PS3's for BD playing. The specs. are different for those, as opposed to the DVD-specs. I just do not know about the PS3.
2.) could be a problem with the Template. Which one did you choose? I'll be glad to check it out (if PrE4 has it) and report any issues that I find. Did you modify this Template, say in Photoshop/PSElements? Could be that one of those modifications turned ON all Sub-picture Highlights.
3.) could be a problem with the "authoring" phase of the Project. This is after the editing, and is where one assembles the Assets (Menus, etc.) and does the navigation. As PrE is semi-automatic, it does most of this for the user, with little intervention. Still, there could be ways to accidently mess something up here, though it's highly unlikely. Now, in my authoring program, all is done by hand, so I have hundreds of opportunities to make a mess of a Project - PrE shields the user from most of these.
Now, to your questions:
Can I use the Img software for all burning projects including CDs?
Yes. You can do most forms of burning, including CD's (Audio, Video or Data), so long as you have the right types of files.
What is the best way to organize and store my video files?
This is the $64,000 question. So much depends on what one has, how they are likely to need to access them and what equipment they either own, or wish to purchase. I'll give you my scheme, though it might be overkill for you. Still, you can get an idea and are free to adapt any part of it for your needs.
I work with several types of Assets: original (or stock) still images, Captured (stock, or client-supplied) motion, Audio (original, stock or extracted from the previously mentioned motion Assets, Menus (Templates and original creations), Titles (same) and then my Projects.
I keep the originals on both a NAS (Networked Attached Storage) drive that is networked to all of my computers, and also on external storage HDD's. I also back up to DVD-Data discs. For Captured, original Video, I also store all tapes and do NOT overwrite/reuse any. I only work with Copies of any of the Assets (the Captures are probably the exception, as I have the tapes, should I need to re-Capture).
I use several media browsers to organize my Assets. I then locate those necessary for a Project, and create a folder structure for that Project. Copies of the Assets are placed in that folder structure, beneath the Project name. Again - these are Copies, in case something happens.
Depending on what I need to do, the Scratch Disks (set with Edit>Preferences) are usually kept within the Project's folder structure too. Same for Exports. As I use a different program to author DVD's (Adobe Encore), I create my Encore Project within this structure too. The files that I Export from PrPro (my NLE of choice), are the ones that I then Import into Encore for authoring the Project.
When done, I Archive the editing Project and also the Encore Project, to another external drive. I will always make one additional copy of my output DVD as a backup, as I can use ImgBurn, or another utility, to Copy DVD.
After all of this, I can then safely Delete my entire Project folder from the system. Remember, it contains no origianl Assets (other than Captured materail), as I have everything on the NAS, plus an external, plus the backup DVD-Data disc. Right now, I have about 30 1 - 2TB external HDD's that I use. Some are for backup, and some are to allow me to move my Projects between my laptop or my workstation.
Hope that this helps. As I said, it's probably overkill, but much of the work that I do is for clients. If they come back with a change, or a problem, I want to be able to help them immediately.
Good luck and good questions,
Hunt

Make more i-movie films one Dvd

I am thinking of buying the new i-life package, but I am scared that my hardware is not able to edit a longer film, so I wonder if it is possible to burn more shorter sequences to one dvd and it plays all of them as one film? I experienced with i-movie 6 that after 40 min of video the sound did not work proberly! I will not miss the new possibilities but neither buy a new computer!

Welcome to the forums.
If you are asking whether iDVD6 can play multiple movies automatically one after the other -- the answer is no. Can iDVD09 do it -- I have no idea. Roxio Toast definitely has this capability.

How do I burn a .mov file to DVD?

I need to burn an MPEG-2 video file saved as .mov to a DVD that will play in a regular DVD player.
I have tried opening iDVD and the selecting 'Create a New Project'. When I have selected a location for the project and the main window opens, I go to File > OneStep DVD from Movie...
My understanding is that when I import a movie file, it will burn it straight to the disc without any further options. It does this, however after a couple of minutes the DVD is ejected blank and iDVD says the burn has completed.
How can I solve this problem or is there another way to burn a .mov file to DVD?
Thanks, Dan

A green screen in an indication that the movie is in a format not supported by iDVD. It should be in one of these formats: DV, high-definition video (HDV), MPEG-2 SD, MPEG-2 SD, MPEG-4 SD, MPEG-4 HD, and AVCHD. (From SDMacUser's post in What input file formats does iDVD...: Apple Support Communities). The post has other requirements that need to be met.
SD = standard definition.
Open your movie with QT Player and bring up the Info window for the movie. It will have the format:
Another possible reason is the Energy Saving settings on the Mac. Turn off energy saving and screen saver before starting the save as disk image or burn.
Other possible fixes can be found in this tipic: Green Screen with audio after Burning: Apple Support Communities

Trouble burning multiple movies

I am trying to burn 4 movies onto one disc they add up to a total of 322 mins and about 2gig of space. Now a DVD is only 4.2 so why does iDVD encode the files so large. Is there anyway around this with idvd or another program in ilife or that will run on my mac.

Hi s
Limiting factor in iDVD'08 is ONLY minutes. Gb of no interest.
• Professional Quality (movies up to 120 min) - BEST
• High Performances (movies less than 60 min) - High quality on final DVD
• High Quality (movies up to 120 min) - slightly lower quality than above
To get more (eg 322minutes) one needs to use another program to code the .mpeg2
I would try:
• Create my DVD in iDVD
• Save as a DiskImage
• Use Roxio Toast™ (reducing bitrate till image will fit)
BUT: by doing this the quality is severly reduced - like VHS quality.
I would cut up my material so that I could use ProQuality in iDVD (max 120min)
and to 3 DVD disks á 110 minutes.

Burning dvd with premiere elements 11

I burn video files on to dvds. I always key NTSC widescreen. Sometimes, the image fills the tv screen. Most of the time however, there is a 2" wide black border around the image, between the image and the edge of the tv screen. How do I get the image to fill the tv screen?

Thank you for responding to my problem. I'm afraid the reading didn't help. All of my 20 files were created with the same camera, the same project settings, the same equipment, etc. But when I burned each of them to their own dvd disc, a few of the programs filled the frame on the tv down the hall. Most however, have a 2" black border around the image. It makes no sense to me.

Burning a movie onto a DVD+RW ??

How come when I burn a movie on my DVD+RW, it works when I play it through my mac laptop computer, but it doesn't work in my DVD player???
Do these require two different disks or something?

one of my older set top dvd players also has issues with rw (and/+ plus) media. not uncommon. I think it's because some RW's have a lower reflective surface than standard dvd-r (and again this varies by brand /manufacturer). so yes, this can happen.

Do I need to get a separate program to burn multiples copies of a DVD on Mac?

Do I need to get a separate program to burn multiples copies of a DVD on Mac, and not have the copies separate into AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS? I made a series of lesson plans on iMovie. When it opens on the original disk, it goes right to my music and intro menu. When I try to burn it to a new DVD, it shows up as AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS. It does not open at all. Please advise.
Thanks,
Chris

Does the disk image that you created from the previously burned iDVD project look like this?
If so you don't copy any part of it to a blank DVD. You open Disk Utility and select it like I do in this screenshot:
insert a blank DVD and click on the Burn button.

How can I improve quality of image when burning a movie to a DVD?

What resolution are you using? If the DVD is to be playable on an ordinary DVD player, only ordinary TV resolution is supported. You need Blue ray for HD.
