Export PP project - Build DVD in Encore

I have a quick and hopefully easy question. I imported my footage into PP as HDV 1080i 29.97 and have completed the editing I wanted to do. I'll be making a few hundred DVD copies of this and am stuck on the best settings next. Obviously I want this to be as best looking as possible when viewed on a television and have heard using Adobe Encoder is the best. I guess there's a few questions I have. Should I use Adobe Encoder? What's the best settings to use? I see MPEG2 and MPEG2-DVD, what's the difference?
I know to keep the frame rate the same at 29.97, but what's better for importing to Encore & making a DVD, non-drop or drop? Does the field order matter? I assume leaving the bitrate settings alone at 4, 15 & 18.5 would be fine.
Once I do get this imported into Encore, what are the best settings to use when Building the DVD?
I know I'm asking alot with these questions and I've really been researching and trying to learn as much as I can. If anyone could help with these questions I'd really appreciate it!
Thanks!

So remove the override on the play all button on the main menu (that you added to see if that would work).
At this point, you do not appear to have end actions on your chapters, correct? I assume you removed them. And you do not get the warning about the "timeline end action will not execute because there's an end action on the final chapter"?
With the override removed, this flow should work fine - except that when you play a chapter from the submenu, it will play Hollywood style - when that chapter ends, it will go on to the next chapter, etc. That is what many people want. If that is okay, you are about done.
If not, use option 3 above. You have 6 chapters. You will create six chapter playlists, each with only one of the six chapters.
Your buttons may be in an odd order, but that will not affect the functioning.

I am exporting my project from CS3 to Encore. The message tells me my video file exceeds the capacity of the disc. Any help? In fact I have adjusted the bitrate to 4478 MB and it let me pass, But when it goes to ENcore the message says the file exceeds 4.7 GB. I chacked up it is true the M2V files is over 5 GB. Why is it? Anyone can help? Thanks a lot!

How to export completed project to DVD?

I've recently returned to the Mac world based on jobs and have compiled a birthday video for my father in law. We are supposed to give him this video as a gift tomorrow night but I did the recent update to my iMovie and now am having trouble using the program.
Can anyone help me figure out how to burn my completed project to DVD? Under my Share command, the options listed are Theater, Email, iTunes, YouTube, Facebook, Vimeo, CNN iReport and File. Any suggestions? I tried saving it under the "File" option and then importing it to iDVD but it looks like the file saves as an mp4, which doesn't want to import to iDVD.
Would love any help that can be provided!

As I see it - there are two KIND's of DVDs
_ Data-DVD - to store files - Can not be played in any Standard DVD-player - and this is done on desktop/finder
_ Video-DVD - for movies to be played on standard DVD-Players - and to structure and en-code this one NEED a DVD-authoring program as iDVD, DVD Studio Pro, Roxio Toast™, Burn etc.
So What kind of DVD do You need ?
And if iMovie'13 (ver. 10.0.x) has NOT changed this. The Share to DVD will result in a Data-DVD (I do not have last version of iMovie to test - hench why I make this remark) but this goes for all iMovie till iMovie'11 (ver. 9.0.x).

How do i export a project to DVD

I've got a project of a photo shoot of a family. I would like to export to a DVD from my iMac...to my MacBook Pro which actually has a drive. I cannot find a simply "export to DVD" option. What am I missing?

You're not missing anything, there is no export to DVD option.
What is it you are trying to do, just burn images to a DVD or make a video DVD of a slide show?
If it is the first, just burn a DVD with images from Aperture you will export the images from Aperture as you normally do and place them in a folder, then using Finder burn the folder to the DVD.
If you are looking to make a video DVD post back as it is more involved.

What is the best way to exporting a 1080 HD project to DVD

I am on the final stages of finishing my first ever HD project, having made the jump Premiere Pro 2.0 to Premiere CS5. Mid-way thru I found it necessary to upgrade to Creative Cloud, so that is where I am working now. The HD world is so vastly different from the old SD flow that every single step of this project has been a huge learning curve for me. I am basically an 'oldie' but for all practical purposes I am a total 'newbie' at this.
That said, I am now finding myself ready to export my project to DVD in a SD form with Stereo sound. This is where my first problem is. After I get this handled then I will attack the BluRay Surround Sound issue, but for now I need advice on the SD disc.
I am working with footage shot on the Red Epic. At my current stage I am working withh ProRes 444 renders from which I have created a full nested 74 minute timeline. Frame rate is 23.976 and the source is1920x1080 with 1.0 square pixels.
So now my movie is done, and it looks and sounds like I want it to. The question now, in a nutshell, is what file type and settings should I use to export my movie so that I can retain aspect ratio? Should I output a movie first or take the project into another program like encore first and make my disc from there?
Also, I have my first screening coming up (primarily for cast and crew and industry insiders) in a couple of weeks, so I need to create a 1080 HD File with my 5.1 surround track that I project from a laptop. The screening venue has the capability to do that via a simple HDMI cable hookup, but does the laptop I use need to have any special capabilities to do the job? And what is the best file type to use for that?
I have always been more of an artist than a tech head, but I am pretty much doing the whole post on this movie alone, with the exception of the Dissolve renders and the sound design, which I had done for me (I have a great finished 5.1 design in .wav format, as well as a stereo version).
I should also mention that I currently have Encore CS5. Can I work with this on a Premiere CC project?
Any and all help would really be appreciated.

Thanks, this helps. I am currently encoding the feature for the SD version and will take it into Encore as soon as it is finished.
I think I may bypass the bluray for now and go to my next question, which is:
Do I need anything special in the way of a laptop in order to project an HD 5.1 Surround Sound copy of my movie? Does the laptop have to have any special capabilities? I can create a 5.1 copy of my movie but my laptop only shows stereo features. Will I still be able to project the movie in 5.1?

Export to an unusual DVD

I made several training videos for my company. The content consisted of 1024x768 screen captures made with Camtasia (saved using the Techsmith codec) and a studio produced audio track. I had to export the project as an uncompressed .avi and then import that .avi into Camtasia and let Camtasia render it to .wmv. (Camtasia seems to have a superior render for screen caps to .wmv). My boss now wants me to create a DVD vesion of the videos with a menu.
Here's where I start:
1. I have several Premiere projects that Has 1024x768 video saved with using the Techsmith codec
2. I have the audio content for each project - 16 bit 44.1 stereo
Here's where I need to end:
1. A DVD that displays the 1024x768 content
2. Plays the audio track in sync with the visual content
3. Has an initial menu that allows the user to select which video to watch
4. These DVDs will only be viewd on computers that are equipped with DVD drives
Thanks,

Since you have a Premiere project there is nothing to keep you from exporting it as a DVD to Encore. This will result in 720x480 resolution. The quality will be better if you use export Movie using Microsoft AVI and DebugMode Frameserver, AviSynth with Dan Isaac's hd2sd script, and HC encoder, but that requires a little more know-how that is documented in other threads.
I recently did something similar. My project was 720p and I exported via the FrameServer to create the 720p signpost file. The following AviSynth script file was then used as the input to HC encoder. The results were an excellent 30p DVD that I authored with Encore.
AviSource("720p signpost file.avi")
hd2sd(interlaced=false, interlaced_out=false, OutputColorSpace="YUY2", NR=0, OutputFieldRate=30, OutputHeight = 720, OutputWidescreen = true, WidescreenType = 0, SmoothTime = false)
ConvertToYV12()

When I export in FCPX to dvd some clips are blacked out but the audio is ok. What can I do.

When I export my project to DVD the results are great except some scenes, especially around transitions are coming in with no picture, only black like a fade, but it has sound. What can I do? I

Exporting to DVD for Encore

Hi all, I have been doing a lot of reading and have been trying to resist making a new topic, but I think I can't help it anymore, so here it goes.
I previously got a crash course in exporting from within Premiere to Encore here - http://forums.adobe.com/thread/857030
I used workflow 1 and reported getting good results. That project was under an hour. I am now dealing with wedding videos that go on past an hour and would like some more help, if possibly, though I think I have managed to stumble my way through quite a bit.
The footage being used is DSLR at full 1920x1080 and I simply exported to MPEG-2 DVD using "Match Source Attributes (High Quality)" from the dropdown menu.
I then checked "Use Max Render Quality" and after 9+ hours I got a final product. When I looked at it in Encore, however, I found the results to be less than favorable. Text seemed to be blocky and skimming through, some things seemed pixelated.
I was really discouraged by this but decided to burn it and test anyway. Results were not AS bad as I thought, and I figure there may have been an issue looking at the DVD resolution video on my 1080 monitor. Things are bound to look ugly.
So the footage does not look too bad, I think the average Joe won't complain much. I did notice some areas where there was a bit of flicker, like say, intricate wickar furniture.
Question 1: Am I to assume that this is on account of the bitrate and how it was budgeted?
My minimum bitrate was 2.8.
Max was 7 and target was 5.
The entire film (wedding) is an hour and ten minutes and with those settings it says the output would be 3292MB - and the audio and video file came up to 3.21GB (duh)
Question 2: Can I adjust some settings to maybe bump up the file size? Since I have a 4.7GB DVD disc to play with, can I not make the overall file be close to the capacity and get even higher quality video? How best should I do this?
Question 3: What should I be selecting for Pixel Aspect Ratio? 16:9 or 4:3, considering it is DSLR footage going to SD DVD?
Question 4: If I want to add things like extra features, or, full speeches, I am guessing I should just do a 2nd disc? For future reference.
I appreciate any input that can be given, and since all my searching on the forums didn't find these specific questions (assuming I'm not just bad at searching) maybe others will get some help out of this as well in future.

I never tried the DL discs because of compatibility issues I read about, but with the much greater cost, and the volume of discs I do, did not care to go that direction anyway. As for MPEG-2 encoders out there, everyone has their favorites and their opinions, and I'm not going to name any, as this is the Adobe forum. I do generally use AME myself, but have "Option B" for certain specialty jobs, but is a VERY complicated workflow. Involves several pieces of public domain software.
As for CBR vs. VBR encoding, you'll get all kinds of opinions on that. For years, I authored with a third-party DVD tool that did not like importing VBR files, so I stuck with CBR all the time, and now that I am authoring in Encore...old habits die hard. I have my reasons for using CBR for most jobs still. I like to think that encoding at 6 or 7 looks pretty good, so...why not encode ALL of your footage at 7? Why encode some scenes at the low end of say 4, when ALL the footage could be 7? So I like to stick with CBR except for low data rate jobs where extra bit management will show a tangible benefit. I've also seen "break up" of the image with VBR when hitting sudden channges, like photo flashes at wedding receptions, where the data rate spikes from min to max with VBR - don't see this issue with CBR. Probably depends on the player to an extent. The guy who encodes everything at 10 has to be rolling his eyes at me right now ;-)
About the two hour projects - if you are talking about starting with an HD source, then getting a nice result on DVD is difficult at any bitrate! It has to do with scaling issues, and is especially problematic with interlaced footage because you are not just scaling, but flipping from Upper Field to Lower Field interlacing as well and things just go bad. Not singling out Adobe - I don't know if ANY NLE really nails it, just Google it, it's a problem all around the industry. We all though that shooting in HD would automagically result in nicer DVDs, but my old DV-sourced DVDs look better.
Adobe recommends using the "Maximum Render Quality" setting in AME when scaling (HD to SD), but then I see other posts saying that CUDA rendering with an Nvidia card will actually do better, so leave Max Render off if you have Nvidia...makes my head hurt.
When I figure it all out, will let you know! I've been making DVDs for over 10 years, and only ran into quality issues when I started shooting HD. Seems that setting the DVD encode to PROGRESSIVE may help when encoding from HD material, takes interlacing out of the picture. Still working on that.
As for the 560 formula, got that right from the Adobe site a while back. It's just the number that works. Think about it - reverse engineer and multiply the optimal data rate that will fit a 4.7GB disc times minutes, and it is 560! 6.22x90=558. 4.66x120=559 and so on.
When I talk about delivering two-hour DVDs to my customers, this is different than say doing a concert video or indie film for national distribution. My wedding, dance recital and stage play customers think the DVDs look great. A TV critic might diagree. Just consider that the average young person is now VERY used to watching YouTube garbage, so they wouldn't know quality if it bit them in the backside! Compression is what they are used to.

Motion blur issue once exported to DVD through Encore

I have 59.94 HD footage. I edit it, export it through Adobe Media Encoder to Mpeg-2 DVD at 29.97, drop-frame, lower field dominance. I then import that .m2v file into Encore, and then export to DVD, without re-transcoding or encoding anything. The DVD plays back with a 24p-like jitter, or blur to it. I do not understand this. After encoding the .m2v file, I went back and played that on windows media player, and other media players, and the video played back as it should originally, very smooth. Why is it that in between creating the .m2v and exporting the DVD in Encore, I am getting this 24p-like blur/jitter to the video? Does it matter that some of these videos I am putting to DVD-DL and are quite large? Hope someone can help. Thanks. Any other info needed, I will supply for you.

Matrox, velocity and anyother hardware based NLEs use a 720 x 486 timeline. I've exported countless SD files through AME and the m2v files played fine through a Windows media and VLC, They also imported and burned to DVD with Encore flawlessly. SD is not the issue at all.
The problem is as stated in the original posting is.
I export the HD timeline(59.94) through AME as a MPEG2-DVD (29.97 Lower field) and the file plays fine in the WIndows Media Player and VLC. No jitter. Perfect
It's when I put the m2v encoded from a HD (720 x 1280 59,94 frame rate as a MPEG2-DVD in AME ) in encore ( do not transcode ) and then burn to a DL DVD. When the DVD is played back, the jitter issue arises.

Error Message in FCPX when exporting Project to DVD

I am running Final Cut Pro X version 10.1.4 on OS X Yosemite (recently updated to this). Burning 2 Projects to DVD, one was successful the 2nd failed to burn at 33% complete with error message: Com.Apple.Compressor.CompressorKit.ErrorDomain error-1. Any ideas why this is and what can I do to rectify problem?

Let's see if you get the same error message on another project. Create a new event and import a short clip. Add that to a new project. Share>DVD and change the output device to Hard Drive. Does the export complete?
f it does not, create a new user account and try the same (or similar) test as above from that new user account.

Encore CS5 freezes when building DVD

Hi!
Just spent lots of money on CS5 and got lots of problems. Cannot build DVD at all. Even 50 sec. HDV, DSLR or any kind. Encore becomes frozen after few min of transcoding.
dual xeon
Nvidia quadro 4800
12 gb ram
RAID 0 2 T plus multiple single drives.
Matrox mini, I have installed just the card but not the software since it is not working with CS5.
My previous versions of CS3 and CS4 worked fine. I would say that CS4 was much more stable.
Any comments?
Thank you in advance.

I may have had a breakthrough in that, after removing several media converter apps, I now seem to have dependable DVD production. I thrashed around and removed a few things before I checked again, but my suspicion is that ffmpeg might be the culprit, (but I don't have time to reinstall it to verify that notion now).
I'm happy if that fixes the problem, but still can't help but feel that it's a program flaw if its able to zone out so silently, without an error message, or even reporting that it's not responding, (but just perpetually idling). That was a frustrating and erie problem that I hope can a least be improved on to the point of crashing with some kind of diagnostic if not surmounting whatever the conflict is. So far, 4 DVDs without a hitch. Yea.

I have created a DVD via iMovie and burned several copies. When played the DVD's will stop and display a message SKIPPING DAMAGED Part. It is not the DVD. When trying to export the project, I get an error message.

Export project to DVD? (Spanning)

Hi all - I'm actually (believe it or not) starting to feel more comfortable about the idea of archiving Aperture projects now that I know iview can read them. The big question though - is it possible to export projects to span across several DVDs? I can't for the life of me find a way to do this - I thought maybe I could export smart albums, but no-go. Any ideas?
The best I can come up with so far is to convert the project to a folder and then have Impression (or whatever) span that project across dvds, but I'm a bit nervous that it might be tough to reimport the project if I did that.

IDVD has the loop feature under the advanced tab. You can also make the DVD play on insert on the map view menu if you need that.
IDVD is about as easy as you can get.
