Can you burn an AVCHD DVD using Premiere Pro 4.1?

Alright I've been hunting the forums and net for a few hours on this one question.
I import my AVCHD video files using Sony Picture Motion Browser for the HDR SR-12 using the full HD setting (1920x1080i) I then pull these into Premiere 4.2.1 and have created an edit, my question is, it possible to output to an AVCHD DVD i.e. a standard DVD-R with the AVCHD edit on it from Premiere/Encore?
It's easy to burn clips straight to AVCHD DVD using Sony PMB, but not an edited file.
I realize there are no menus possible if you do it this way, but I have an AVCHD capable DVD deck and an HD Capable screen and would really like to see how this looks. Anybody know any tricks or workarounds for this? It seems that this would be sadly lacking if it was not possible or simply an effort to force one to adapt the entire workflow to Blu-Ray for HD content which I am not prepared to do.
I am assuming that if you could export the same file type that came in (i.e. AVCHD .mts files) that you could then have Sony PMB burn it to AVCHD DVD but I haven't figured out how to export it as such as there is only Blu-Ray output options.
Any help, tips or tricks would be appreciated!!!!

Answering myself here for the benefit of anyone else trying to solve this problem.
I have been pulling my hair out trying to solve this problem for the last 48 hours of utilizing AVCHD footage at AVCHD quality. I finally did find somewhat of a work around, but it requires Adobe PP CS4.2.
There is a plug-in here:
http://www.mainconcept.com/site/prosumer-products-4/mpeg-pro-hd-7850/features-7861.html
Which will actually output your edit as an AVCHD file. You can then burn this straight to an AVCHD using Nero 9 and keep the highquality level of your clips and not need Blu-Ray. The DVD player will need to be AVCHD capable, but I just bought one of those for $40 as compared to the $200+ of most Blu-Ray players.
Or if you want to be really sneaky, you can transfer it back onto your camera and play it straight to your TV using the HDMI cable.
Hope that helps anyone stuck with the same problem.

  • Can't burn project to DVD from Premiere Pro CS5.5

    Hello to all the experts out there!
    We have been having ongoing issues attempting to burn our finalised project in Premiere Pro CS5.5.
    We have tried many of the suggestions found in the forum, including changing file names, checking for gaps in the timeline, changing DVD discs, exporting as an MPEG file (always says unknown error), sending to Encore via Dynamic Link (goes 3/4 way through transcoding and freezes every time), installing Roxio updates etc etc.
    We still can't get the project to burn to disc and I am not sure where to go with it next.
    Its a 34 minute project, and have been able to export up to 24 mins of it, so I suspect there is a problem with something in the end of the timeline but just can't work it out.
    Does anyone have any tips, pleaseeeee!???
    Cheers,
    Georgi

    As well as the below, right click the Encore icon and select Run as Administrator, which is NOT the same thing as running the computer with the Administrator account, and which fixes several "odd" problems... To create a two layer DVD (or a BluRay?), you MUST have Encore set to use the Run as Administrator option

  • Burn DVD using Premiere Pro 2.0

    I use premiere pro
    2.0 on my PC with Windows 7.  I can edit and save a video project, but I can't burn it to a DVD.
    Is there a burn program in 2.0, or is there another burning program that will accept premiere
    pro 2.0 projects?  I can import video segments into the Microsoft DVD burning program in
    Windows 7, but it will not accept a Premiere Pro project.

    If the issue is that PrPro does not see your burner, there might well be other programs "hooking" the burner. Do you get any error messages?
    If Win7does not see your burner, then it is likely that either the firmware, or the driver used, are out of date - or both.
    If Win7 does see the burner, then what you will need to do (depending on the answer to the first question), would be to Burn to Folder from PrPro. Then, use the free utility, ImgBurn, to do the physical burn to disc.
    Good luck,

  • Can you replace damaged frames with Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 ?

    Hello everyone! I'm new to Premiere Pro CS6 and don't know all the tricks (no previous experience with video editing). I have a video file that has some damaged frames (it is a VHS-DVD bad quality transferred file). I'm wondering is there is a way to replace the damaged frames with adjacent good ones so the audio is not disrupted (instead of just deleting the damaged frames). Please advise and be gentle . I'm a beginner! Thanks!
    Damaged image                                                                                Good image next to damaged one

    Thanks. I think I got it. I have two more questions. I'm trying to preview the video but it doesn't play in real time. The audio plays Ok but the video is lagging. I'm attaching my computer info so you can tell me if it is my computer's limitation.
    Second question is regarding filters. In some parts of the video there's some horizontal lines scrolling down the screen. I wonder is there's a filter to minimize this issue before exporting. In the Export Setting I see only Gaussian Blur. I wanted to post a video sample but I don't see an option to post a video file that is not a link with a URL.

  • Create a DVD using Premiere Pro and Encore - delay between audio and video (in ms)?

    I created a DVD and need to be sure that audio and video are in perfect sync (smaller than 1 millisecond).
    Is this even possible with Premiere Pro / with DVDs in general?
    My sequence settings in Premiere are:
    DV PAL, 25 fps, 720x576 (16:9), D1/DV PAL Widescreen, lower field first, Audio: 48000 Hz
    My DVD settings in Encore are:
    MPEG-2 (MainConcept MPEG-Video), 720x576, 25 fps, lower field first, Widescreen 16:9 (1,458), Bitrate VBR, 2-Pass, Min 1,5 MBit/s Target 4 MBit/s, Max 9 MBit/s, GOP: M-Frames 3, N-Frames 12, Audio: Dolby Digital, 192 kbit/s

    I created a DVD and need to be sure that audio and video are in perfect sync (smaller than 1 millisecond).
    Is this even possible with Premiere Pro / with DVDs in general?
    Frame accurate is the best you can achieve and that means 33 milliseconds at best.

  • Can you change size of fonts in premiere pro user interface -- the text is often so small it is hard to read

    The text is often so small it is hard to read.  It would be nice if as in the Blender animation program you can easily increase the size of fonts used in the program's user interface, through the "preferences" menu item.

  • Can you export as AVCHD if you use "Matched sequence"?

    As far as I know, "Matched sequence" means that you will export the file exactly the same as your sequence settings. Adobe says that you can't export to AVCHD, you can only import AVCHD but you have to export to something like MPEG 2.
    So what if I export a AVCHD sequence as "Matched sequence"? Will the final export be a AVCHD file or something different?
    How do I check if the exported file is a AVCHD file?

    Where it says "Format" that would be the exporter you'd want to use from Premiere Pro or AME.
    1.Youtube.
    Format: H.264. There is a preset for YouTube 720p that you can use as a baseline; increase the dimensions to 1080p, change the frame rate, and I set the bit rate to 8mbps target/10mbps maximum for my YouTube 1080p uploads. Save this as a preset so you can reuse it later.
    2.Delivery for TV broadcast.
    That's hard to answer; every broadcaster will want different deliverables. You'll need to check with their requirements. I deliver everything from H.264 MP4s, Avid MOVs, DV AVIs, and HD MPEG2 files--it's sort of a mish-mash so it's not really possible or practical to give you a set number of parameters for this one.
    3.Archival use on my computer.
    You could use an uncompressed AVI or MOV (Format: Microsoft AVI/QuickTime, Codec: None), but they will be very large files. Why not just keep the footage and the project file? You could also try a lossless codec like the Ut Video Codec Suite or (my preference) Lagarith Lossless Video Codec. Both are free, Windows-only, and appear as codecs under Microsoft AVI. They're both good; they'll be big files as well, but not quite as big as uncompressed.
    4.To burn to DVD.
    5.To burn to blue ray.
    Premiere Pro has specific exporters for both of these; check out Format: MPEG2-DVD for DVD and Format: MPEG2 Blu-ray or H.264 Blu-ray for BD. You can also just send your sequence to Encore and let it pick the best settings based on your desired output format; select your sequence and go to File > Adobe Dynamic Link > Send to Encore.
    6.To upload and sell the footage on a website like shutterstock.
    Just like #2 above, you'll need to check with the specific stock service what their requirements are. They should be pretty simply spelled out, and then you can choose the format and codec based on those requirements. Googling for the particular service and other users' experiences would help, too.

  • Re-Toast DVD - is it the same as IDVD - That is can you burn a number of .mov slide shows on the same disk?  Thank you

    Re-Toast DVD - is it the same as IDVD - That is can you burn a number of .mov slide shows on the same disk?  Thank you

    Toast can author and burn video DVDs but it's not nearly as versatile as iDVD is in creating video DVDs.  Toast can only create one menu so all items must be on it, i.e. no sub-menus, no animated menus, etc.

  • Can you capture video from the internet, using premiere pro cc?

    trying to capture video from the internet, using premiere pro cc, is that possible?
    also - it keeps saying "video capture offline" - any solutions for that?

    I am going to go out on a limb and say that while it may be against the YouTube terms of service to download or scrape a video off of their service, there are times that I really don't care since it is for my personal use. Providing myself or my wife with entertainment that she can watch or listen to on her smartphone while on an airplane, or in a car traveling down the road, just doesn't bother my moral compass. Doesn't make it twitch in the least.
    Perhaps I am wrong. Perhaps I shouldn't do it. Tough. I do, and will continue to do so until the Google police come knocking on my door.
    This is pretty much the same argument that they tried to kill the VCR with. The simple act of time shifting was something that was considered wrong, and illegal, until people came to their senses.
    As for the editing capability, you might be surprised at the ways it is possible to download video that works just fine for what I use it for. Premiere Pro has no problems allowing me to edit out the parts I don't like, or just aren't funny, and the quality really doesn't suffer much at all.
    Now, with the exception of something I did for my two year old Great Niece, I have never used any video that I have downloaded for anything except a tutorial, or in her case, a Sesame Street song I used when I shot video of me reading her the Sesame Street book that I purchased.
    Would it be wrong to post downloaded video, intact or edited, for public consumption? Sure it would. No question about it.
    But please do not assume that everyone downloading video from the Internet is doing so for nefarious purposes, and I promise not to assume everyone is a perfect angel and is following all the rules.

  • Burn avi to dvd using idvd

    i dont have idvd, i dont even have a mac so this may be a really stupid question, but is it possible to convert an avi file and then burn it to dvd using idvd?
    for example if a had a film in avi could i put it on a dvd to watch on a dvd player?

    It is possible to put an .avi video on DVD, but it has to be converted into DVD format (which is mpeg-2). Another wrinkle is that .avi is a so-called "container" format and it is more or less difficult to convert .avi files depending on the format (codec) inside the container.
    iDVD is fairly limited in the types of video formats it can convert (the latest version is the most flexible). If you have a very specific video you're wanting to convert, and thinking about buying a Mac, you could take it to an Apple store and see if iDVD recognizes the format. Alternatively, try visiting a Mac user group and see if they can be of assistance.

  • Can I burn to mini-DVD disc

    Can I burn to mini-DVD discs on my iBook G4? I have a superdrive and I have burned the project succesfully on a regular DVD but the person that I am burning it for was told it had to be turned in on a mini-DVD.
    Not knowing if the mini would be compatiable or possibly get stuck I was afraid to try it without some comformation that it has been done by someone else before. It is a work computer.
    I tried to burn it on my sons PC and on my Mom's PC but neither worked. Neither acknowledges the mini-DVD.

    Hi Amber,
    as Scalz wrote, never put non-standard-sized/shaped disks into slot-in drives...!!
    besides....
    miniDVD can have two meanings:
    * these %$§*? DVDcamcorders record on miniDVD (small diameter, but mainly DVD)
    * and you are able to burn a DVDcontent (muxxed mp2 stream) onto a CD-R - that is also called miniDVD.... I was able to fit 10min onto such, but my DVDstandalone doesn't accept such disks....
    my guess, the recipient of your project tries to use his DVDcamcorder as a DVDplayer.... wow....... you get "grown up" DVDplayers for 39$.....
    many external burners accept these miniDVD-r... maybe, someone can borrow you such? and, my guess, iDVD doesn't accept them, you need to use Toast (as I did for my dvd-cd-r experiment)

  • I can't burn CD or DVD.  I get a "medium write error."  I bought an external CD drive, and get the same message.

    I can't burn CDs or DVDs.  I get a "medium write error."  Bought a new external CD drive, and get the same message.

    What are you trying to achieve?  Are you trying to burn to disk via the iPhoto Share ➙ Burn menu? That produces a mini library on the disk that can be used only by a Mac running iPhoto.
    If you want to burn just some image files to a data CD/DVD disk then follow Larry's recommended workflow.
    What disk type and manufacturer are your using? What system and iPhoto version are you running?  Have you run the OS X Mountain Lion: Use Apple Hardware Test? When did the burning proiblem begin?  If you can't burn a disk from the Finder then it's a hardware or system problem and not an iPhoto one.

  • Can't burn Dual Layer DVD-R on new Mac Pro?

    Can't burn Dual Layer DVD-R on new Mac Pro?
    I have a new Mac Pro with Pioneer DVD burner built in. I've since found out that it only burns Dual Layer +R type, and not the -R type.
    My replication company need a Dual Layer -R type DVD as they can't get a glass-master off the +R type Dual Layer discs.
    Can anyone recommend/suggest a cheap way of being able to either master off a DVD to Dual Layer -R disc, or perhaps copy my Dual Layer +R to a Dual Layer -R ?
    Thanks guys.

    Everything I have ever read about the DVD-R DL discs says the layer break can't be chosen by the author. It is not a DVDSP issue; it is an issue with the media.
    This is actually listed in the DVDSP 4.1 Late Breaking News on page 15:
    "Using DVD-R Dual-Layer Media
    If your system contains a DVD drive that can write to the new DVD-R dual-layer media, you can burn your DVD project to it with DVD Studio Pro. However, there are several issues:
    Since there is no current way for DVD Studio Pro to identify DVD-R dual-layer media as having two layers, burning a dual-layer project to it results in a warning appearing telling you that the DVD media may have insufficient room to hold the project. This message is based on the assumption that the disc is single layer. Both layers of the disc will be written to as needed, however, when you click Continue.
    If you are burning a dual-layer project, the break point you set will not affect where the layer break actually occurs. Instead, the first layer is written to until filled, at which point the drive switches to writing to the second layer.
    The switch between layers is a seamless layer change not supported by some DVD players, which may stop playing the disc when the switch point is reached.
    Important: Do not use DVD-R dual-layer media unless these issues do not impact your project.
    You can use DVD+R double-layer media for burning your dual-layer projects. With DVD+R double-layer media, DVD Studio Pro places the layer break point and sets the switch point to be nonseamless as specified in your project."
    Can you tell us what drive you have and what firmware (revision) it is?
