Exporting a mpeg2 to burn onto a dvd

Hi, I am using adobe premiere elements 8.
Basically I have lots and lots of mp2t video files which I recorded with a full HD (1920 x1080) panasonic camera. I need to burn them on a dvd and I have tried several times in premiere elements but it produces an error code and can't complete. I've re installed the program several times and on different computers.
So I thought after weeks of throwing dvd's away, maybe I could export the files in premiere elements to a MPEG 2 dvd file and then use a dvd authoring software like dvd maker.
I would like to know what settings would get the best quality in adobe premiere elements on the advanced settings on the multiplexer and video settings? I put the bit rate the highest it would go and the quality to the maximum.
The other thing that has me completely puzzled is the aspect ratio. Do I choose 4:3 or 16:9?
I have tried to use video to dvd software in the past and all it does is stretches the image and doesn't give you an option to keep the original aspect ratio of the imported video. I can't even find out what the aspect ratio is because when I import it into gspot it doesn't give me any information.
any help would be appreciated.

Could you post a screenshot of the error message that you are getting when you burn to DVD your video in Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1 or post word for word what it says? The rest of what I am about to write becomes meaningless without that information.
The basic drill with Premiere Elements 8 is
a. Do you have the automatic background rendering and AutoAnalzyer features turned Off?
b. Are you working from the 8.0.1 Update?
You say that your video is "Full HD 1920 x 1080". That could be interlaced or progressive. In your case of a DVD-VIDEO destination, your choices for project preset are:
a. NTSC/AVCHD/Full HD1080i30
and apply Field Options/Reverse Field Dominance to the video at the Timeline Level if interlaced video
OR
b. NTSC/Hard Disk Flash Memory Camcorders/HD 1080i30
For burn to DVD-VIDEO format on DVD disc....
Share
Disc
DVD disc
with preset for NTSC_Widescreen_Dolby DVD (so you have a 16:9 source going to a 16:9 end product)
Many found that the resource demands of AVCHD (various sized project) were not met by Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1 and opted to convert the video to a less resource demanding format such as MPEG2 HD 1920 x 1080. Other means were explored as well (proxy methods and such). These considerations as they relate to later versions of Premiere Elements and operating systems can be discussed if applicable.
I would explore the above and burn to disc.
A better choice than export as MPEG2 file might be to burn to folder and then take the VIDEO_TS from the saved folder to DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc with a 3rd party software such as ImgBurn. Lots of possibilities.
More later once we find out the nature of the error messages associated with the burn to disc process.
Thanks.

I'm trying to burn onto a DVD a ProRes .mov. It want it to be first play. I've tried the compressing the format the MPEG2 and AC3...I still get the "Support not available" when trying to play it.
Am I missing something? Are my settings not correct in DVD Studio Pro? Am I not using the correct output formats?? What am I doing wrong?

I have home movies burned onto a DVD. How do I get them into imove?

i assume you mean for editing. in that case, you're going to need either some software or hardware to convert the signal from DVD to something that iMovie can handle.
there are a couple of devices out there that can convert sources like DVD, like a Canopus ADVC ($170), or the cheaper Elgato VCD ($85) that converts to mp4. the main advantage of the Canopus is that i can convert from analog sources like VHS.
if you're just working from DVD sources, then DVDxDV software ($29) will probably do the trick and be the most reasonably priced option.
of course, these all are meant to be used for non-copyrighted DVDs -- they will not work on DVD's that have have copy protection, and no one here will discuss any illegal copying.

Exporting to burn onto a DVD or to stream

what are the best exporting options if i want to burn on a dvd, and what are the best options if i want to stream it on a website? i am trying to export a 35 minute movie and i keep having quality problems.

For the DVD:
Export as Qucktime Movie. That is the one that keeps the quality of your Sequence Setting. You have the option of making it self-contained (creates a large file that can remain independent of your project) or not self-contained (creates a smaller file that references your project) ... this latter one works just spiffy. Also use this export setting to export chapter markers if so desired.
This Qucktime movie will work in DVD Studio Pro (you have the option of exporting it thru Compressor later), iDVD or Roxio Toast. Do not use Quicktime Conversion settings for a DVD
As for web settings: Not really my area of my expertise but I think if your end users have updated Quicktime viewers H.264 is very high quality (tho really slow export) and if not, maybe Sorenson or MPEG4. Others more web savvy than I will chirp in, no doubt

What is the best resolution (1080, 720?) video and the best sound (PCM/AAC, bit, and kHz) that I can burn onto a DVD after creating in iMovie?

I have a Zoom HD Q3 video camera that also records good sound. An Apple Genius once told me that a DVD can only reproduce a certain level of quality in video and sound just like a CD can only produce a certain level of sound quality. For instance you can't burn true high definition video onto a DVD. You would need a Blue Ray Disc. But I forgot the specific data that the Genius shared with me. If my end goal is to make a DVD of my band performing, it doesn't make sense to record in a higher quality that I'm capable of reproducing on a DVD. Can I shoot 1080 or 720 (30 ore 60 fps)? My sound options are first PCM or AAC format, then PCM has a sample rate of 44.1, 48, or 96 kHz, and choice of 16 or 24 bit length. The AAC format has only one sample rate of 48 kHz but a bit rate choice ranging from 160, 192, 224, 256 or 320 kbps. Yikes. I'm not a sound engineer but I know this camera probably offers me a higher quality in both video and sound than the DVD can reproduce.
Of course, I have this same question with my Sony video camera. I can shoot AVCHD or MP4. iPhoto can't even import AVCHD so that question was answered for me but do I shoot MP4 12M 1440x1080 or do I shoot MP4 6M 12180x720? My end goal is always to burn a DVD. I don't understand what any of the above values mean in both paragraphs and don't necessarily need to know other than which to choose if making a DVD is my final goal. Thank you.

This is the forum for iOS (iPads and iPhones).
But I can answer your question; DVD scan only be SD.
Which in PAL land is 720 x 576 pixels (which can be stretched 16:9 anamorphic).
And is 720 x 480 in NTSC.
If you shoot in a higher quality then you will have a sharper image in the final DVD, but it will only be SD in the final encode.
iPhoto is a photo app, so no it can't import AVCHD; iMovie Mac can.
I will see if I can get this question moved to the correct forum so you get more answers.

Is there a way to change the settings to burn onto a DVD-R v2.1/1x-16x?

I have DVD SP v3 and I always used Sony DVD-R v2.0/1x-8x (120min/4.7gb), but now I can't find them and I've been told that they have been discontinued and can only buy DVD-R v2.1/1x-16x. Well... I can't seem to find a way to burn onto the higher speed DVD. What can I do?

Hi:
Wellcome to the forums!
If you mean if there is a way to change burning speed in DVDSP the answer is no: DVDSP allways burn at max available speed.
If you ant to control the burning speed and use a more reliable burning workflow, you can * Create a Disc Image in DVDSP * from your project and burn it using Toast and/or Disk Utility. In both cases you can change the burning speed.
Hope that helps !

How do you get idvd to stop pausing and resetting the playback once burned onto a dvd?

I created an idvd using photographs from iphoto and music from itunes and when it plays from idvd I do not notice any pausing. When I went to burn the project onto a dvd the process took 2 hrs and then I could burn the dvds.
When I went to watch the dvd, the pictures and music would pause at 5 mins and 54 secs resetting the time back to 0:00. This continued everytime it reache 5:54 in the slideshow.
Is there some way to stop this so the slideshow/pictures/music plays smoothly without the skipping?
Kristin

Are any of the iTunes audio track protected tracks? That can cause problems with encoding as iDVD won't use them.
Are you saving the project as a disk image before burning? Doing so separates the encoding process from the burning process so you can test the disk image by mounting it and playing with DVD Player to make sure the encoding was successful. If it's good then burn the disk image to disk with Disk Utility. If not then you've saved a disk.

Burning onto a DVD when I have no DVD burner on my Laptop

Do not have a DVD on my Mac Laptop so from final x pro I chose Burn DVD and selected a removable hard drive where a img file was created. I then burned the img file onto a DVD on my IMAC. However, it does not play in a DVD player, how do I resolve this?

However, it does not play in a DVD player, how do I resolve this?
You need iDVD.
Purchase iLife 11 (or iLife 09) (includes iDVD) on disk.
IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40.

Can I burn onto a DVD+RW

I have finished my first iMovie and have saved into iDVD and when it asks for a disc, it says DVD-R. Am I to assume that the DVD-RW discs will not work? Thanks.
iMac PowerPC G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

I think support for DVD-RW discs was added in iDVD 5.
Please note there is a difference between DVD-RW and DVD+RW. Check the specs of your burner.
Try the iDVD discussion for a more definite answer.

Putting 2 vob files onto 1 DVD -Please help

I borrowed a handicam that burns to mini DVD, as mine broke. Usually I import files as DV on the mac from my camera and cut them together there.
With this camera, I have two halves of a recital that I want to put onto 1 DVD. I saved the DOB files from each mini disc ont my Mac and I figured I would just put them both into iDVD or edit with iMovie and burn onto 1 DVD, but I cannot import or use DOB files with them. I also have Final Cut Express, but again - no DOB files. iMovie won't take them.
I tried converting the files with VLC or MPEG Stream on a PC but the audio and video don't sync.
All I want to do is put both VOB files on a DVD that will play in a DVD player.
Please help me! I am extremely frustrated and under a deadline...

Make your sequences, export out as DV AVI files, bring them into Encore and author as usual.

How do I get 30GB of video onto a DVD?

I recently had an event filmed on an HD video camera. It is about 6 hours of footage total. I cut it down to about 4 hours in iMovie and exported it using QuickTime H.264. The output file is 30GB. What steps would I take to get this burned onto a DVD to share with friends and family?
The footage was captured at an engagement party and as such, I can't really reduce it lower than 4 hours. What options do I have?

• in the list of Projects, ctrl-click on your Project

• erase in #2 the first half
burn to two DVDs, part #1 and part #2
iDVD supports a max. length of 120min content.
iDVD supports double-layer DVDs (=240min), but some DVD-standalone players don't 'like' such disks.
keep in mind: in theory, there's no min. bitrate on DVDs, so, with other tools, you could squeeze 10h onto a 4.7GBs DVD-r .... but a too-high compressed DVD is no fun to watch, too much artifacts.
and, who's watching 4h at a single piece?
I'm pretty sure, a 20min best-of, short clips, good music, lots of stills, master-piece comes better across than a 'real time documentation' ...
and Welcome, Shaq Bee, to the  boards ...
