Premiere Elements Pro 5.5  How to Burn a DVD

I am a newby in this world.
Since a 2 months I bought  Pro 5.5 and made my first vacation movie. Total length 1.04.30.
Now I want to burn the movie on a DVD to show family and friends.
But were is the "Burn Button"??
How and what to do after the completion.
Can anyone explain to me in simple terms.
Thanks, Hans

Hans,
There are basically two ways to get from your PrPro CS5.5 Project to Encore, with some variations.
One way is to Export the Sequence(s) from PrPro, and then Import them into an Encore Project. For an SD (Standard Definition) Project, going to DVD, one choice would be to Export (via Adobe Media Encoder, AME) to a DV-AVI file with 48KHz 16-bit PCM/WAV Audio. Then, create an Encore Project, and Import that DV-AVI file as a Timeline. Add your Menus, and link all Buttons, and then Preview, Check Project and Burn to Disc. Just leave Encore's Transcode setting on Automatic.
I won't go into using ADL (Adobe Dynamic Link) to go between PrPro and Encore, nor will I go into details on doing the MPEG-2 Transcoding, outside of Encore. Those processes, especially the latter, are a bit more involved, and are best addressed in the Encore forum, as they do not apply in any way to PrElements. The method that I gave is the easiest, most straightforward, and is almost bullet-proof.
Good luck, and for more details, optiions, etc., the Encore Forum would be far better, as there are major differences in how PrE does authoring, and how Encore does it.

  • HT1479 I would like to know how to burn a dvd in such a way that each image can be skipped over by pressing the skip button.

    I would like to know how to burn a dvd in such a way that each image can be skipped over by pressing the skip button? If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated!

    Here's how top get a slideshow that will let the viewer manually control the forward and backward movement of the slides with the forward and back buttons on the DVD remote.
    1 - put the images you want to use in an iPhoto album.
    2 - launch iDVD, select a theme and add a slideshow using the "+" button at the bottom:
    3 - click on the Media button at the lower right hand corner of the window and then click on the Photos button.
    4 - locate the iPhoto album containing your photos and drag it into the left hand pane:
    5 - select Side Duration to Manual.
    In order to get the maximum manual control of the slides you cannot have add any music to the slideshow.  If you do add music the slideshow will continue you advance unless you pause the slideshow and/or use the advance/back buttons and then pause.
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the  File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option.  This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
    To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

  • How to burn a dvd created in iMovie with OS Maverics - why is it in MP4 format and not .MOV?

    I have created a movie in iMovie, shared it and put it in a burn folder on my desktop, then tried to burn it. It seemed to work (the hard disc was spinning and computer told me when it was finished) but when i tried to play it on my Macbook Pro (which is where I created it) it won't play. It is in MP4 format. iMovie used to create movies in .Mov format. Is this the reason it won't play and what can i do about it?

    Hi
    A. making a .mp4 file then putting it onto a DVD (via Finder/DeskTop) results in a DATA-DVD - which can not be played by any (to my knowledge) Standard DVD-Player.
    But if inserted into a window-PC and using VLC-player - I GUESS that it will play just fine.
    B. To be played in a Standard DVD-Player You need to do a VIDEO-DVD and to do this You need a DVD-Authoring program (it is a MUST)
    C. Things that use to go wrong are:
    - Using cheap brands of DVD discs as Memorex, NoName etc - I only use Verbatim
    - Using DVD+/-RW - usually do not work, DVD+R usually works BUT not on older DVD-players - I only use DVD-R
    - BURN SPEED - as faster as more BURN ERRORS (WORSE) - in iDVD - Best IS NOT BEST AT ALL - I never go faster than x4 - most often I use x2
    Reg Authoring programs:
    If there is no iDVD on Your Mac (and it's not on newer Macs as Apple discarded it) then You need a program that can do this.
    Your Mac can burn CDs and DVDs - BUT DVD as Data-DVDs not as Video-DVDs - they need a program to be encoded and STRUCTURED as such.
    iDVD is part of the boxed version of iLife'11 and can only be bought outside Apple as on Amazon and e-bay
    DVD Studio pro - Part of FinalCut Studio Pro bundle - this to has expired and can only be bought second handed. (High price and tough learning Curve - but best ever done.)
    Roxio Toast™ - Not as elegant as iDVD - but has many other positive additions (I like it as 10-Pro incl BD-component) (now version 11)
    FinalCut Pro-X which also can burn to DVD but without any nice themes.
    AppleMan1958
    You can also buy Compressor from Apple for $50 US. It will also create DVD and BluRay but without the nice themes.

    Insert a blank disc into the optical drive.  choose Open Finder from the pop-up menu. The disc appears on your desktop.
    Double-click the disc to open then drag the files and folders you want to burn to the window.
    Arrange and rename the files if needed.

  • How to burn a DVD with other DVD??

    I'm new using the Mac OS. I don't know how to burn a DVD using another DVD, I try using the programs iDVD and iMovie HD but I think that they are for DVD creation, not for burning using another DVD

    You can also donate to Mac the Ripper for version 3.0 beta. It has alot of new features that are pretty cool. Here is a link that shows some of the new stuff.

  • How to burn to DVD in Premiere Elements 8 to play on DVD recorder.

    I'm using Premiere Elements 8 with Windows 7, quad core i760 and 8 GB RAM. When I burn a project to disc, it will play on this PC but the disc is not recognised on my XP PC nor by my DVD recorder. My guess is that I'm burning as an HD DVD but can't see any way of changing this. Can anybody point me in the right direction please?

    Geoff, I think you're chasing the wrong issues. The least likely problem is that Premiere Elements is producing unreadable discs.
    Have you burned your DVD files to a folder on a hard drive rather than directly to a disc?
    Have you tried using DVD-Rs or DVD+Rs rather than DVD-RWs (which many DVD players can't read)?
    Your source files -- no matter where they come from -- will have no effect in how your DVD plays. Once it's all been transcoded, it's a matter of your disc player reading your disc. If that's not happening, you need to troubleshoot whether this issue is a problem with the discs themselves, a problem with your DVD player or a problem or a problem with your burner.
    Burning to a folder on your hard drive will eliminate Premiere Elements as the cause of the problem. If the program can produce a VIDEO_TS folder full of VOB files, then you know the problem is either in your discs or your hardware.

  • Why My Adobe Premiere Elements 3.0.2 can't burn Mpeg2 format?

    Hi
    I have been Using Premiere Elements 3.0.2 for several years, and went succesful on every DVD I make.
    Recently I uninstall and reinstall the Premiere Elements 3.0.2 on my window 7 laptop. I'm making the video from old Pictures with different files photos.
    This time I'm frustrated as for the burning, the Premiere Element 3.0.2 doesn't support the MPEG2 format. and ask me to get the activation key from Adobe,
    I tried several times, But unfortunatelly this is I get http://www.adobe.com/special/encoderactivation/sw_activation.html
    Anyone here having the same experience??? Please help.

    I have just posted in your other thread the following
    Arij
    This is indeed a very disturbing issue. I have confirmed the path of messages that you have encountered and am not sure what to make of all this. I had not seen any prior warning of Adobe essentially pulling the plug on early versions. And, I do not see that with my Premiere Elements 2 on Windows 7 64 bit.
    For now I am thinking in terms of 2 possible workarounds...
    What computer was Premiere Elements 3.0/3.0.2 on before it was used on Windows 7 64 bit? If possible, can you install Premiere Elements 3.0/3.0.2 on its orginal computer to see if you are blocked from using burn to disc there also at this time?
    With Premiere Elements 3.0/3.0.2 on Windows 7 64 bit, can you export your Timeline to a .mpg or wmv file? If so, you could take that file into Windows DVD Maker if it came with Windows 7 64 bit. There also may be an opportunity to download the Windows DVD maker.

  • Dynamic Link (Adobe Premiere Pro to Encore) issues with burning a DVD from the project file

    Hello,
    I am running Adobe Suite CS 5.1 on my Mac:
    2.8 GHz Quad Core
    6GB Memory
    I've been having issues with a few projects; using Dynamic Link, directly from my project in Premier, to send them to Encore:
    When attempting to burn a DVD, Encore will 'hang up' and not burn; I rarely burn to DVD, usually I'm always encoding for web, and just always use the 'default settings' in Encore.
    A few things to note:
    *In my project I'm using MOV files, from a Canon 7D, and MP4 files, from a Sony EX-1. 
    *I am working off of 3 separate hard drives; very large projects with over 5TBs of media files.
    *I noticed that after inserting a DVD, it caused one of my hard drives to eject; this happened once, as far as I know.
    *This only happens when I use Dynamic Link to send to Encore, via my Premiere Pro project file.
    *My Project settings are always: XDCam HD-1080p/24p
    Please help.
    Thanks

    So you must downrez at some point in the workflow. Some users have problems and/or think they get better quality out of direct PR/AME exports than using DL for this purpose.
    I would test the workflow by creating three short test sequences - one with a clip from one camera, a second from the other, and a third with both in a sequence using the same settings you are using in your edit. I would use the "drag a clip" to the new item method for making each of the first two sequences. By short I mean 30 seconds to 2 minutes with a mixture of still and action.
    Export using whatever method you pick of those recommended, but use CBR 8 instead of VBR etc. Bring the resulting files into Encore. Yes, look at the files exported on the computer, and look at Encore preview, etc, but also burn to a disk and watch on multiple TVs. There are lots of issues in best quality.

  • How to burn a DVD in Premier Elements 13 without a theme?

    In the other Premier Elements you were able to take your project and burn straight to a DVD without applying a theme. I am not finding that option in 13. What am I missing?

    JimESmythe
    Thanks for the reply.
    Assuming, Premiere Elements 13 is on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit.
    When you go to Publish+Share, the instant that you click on Disc, you should see a pop up message relating to
    whether or not you want to proceed with disc menus. Have you seen that message at all?
    I am demo'ing this with Premiere Elements 12/12.1 at this time. But it should be the same for version 13.
    I do not have 13 at this time to road test.
    What happens when you go from the Expert workspace/Edit area to Publish+Share/ and click on Disc?
    If all you ever see is the Movie Menu customization area with a theme, then click Reset, Done, and then go
    to Publish+Share and click Disc to get the pop to which you respond No.
    If that does not work, then delete the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file and, if necessary, the whole 12.0 Folder
    in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists.
    Local Disk C
    Users
    Owner
    AppData
    Roaming
    Adobe
    Premiere Elements
    13.0
    and in the 13.0 Folder is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file that you delete. And, if necessary, you delete the
    whole 13.0 Folder in which it exists. Be sure to be working with Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives
    active so that you can see the complete path cited.
    Please review the above and then we can discuss this further.
    Thank you.

  • Does adobe premiere elements 10 have its own intern burning program?

    IN the past, using adobe premiere had its own burning program, so you coud burn straight from editing.
    Do i need to buy a seperate burning program now like nero? And can this be integrated in the editing program?
    Of do i always have to burn via a list of filmparts in a burning program, outsige Adobe?
    Bernard Bussemaker

    bernardbussenmaker
    I believe that Premiere Elements uses a Sonic burn software built into the program for the burn to disc opportunities under Share/Disc/.
    But the other half of the equation is the Blu-ray DVD or DVD/CD burner being recognized by Premiere Elements (see burn dialog and the Burner Location: field).
    Is your burner recognized by your Premiere Elements 10?

  • Made movie from go pro on imovies. How do burn to DVD

    Made movie from go pro on imovies but having trouble burning to DVD. Very new to this. An anyone help

    AVI is just a 'wrapper' that can contain content encoded with many different CODECS (encoders); most of which aren't Mac compatable.
    VOB files are MPEG streaming content.
    Most AVI and all VOB files will require some sort of conversion to be useable in iDVD.
    If you have a lot of such files, I suggest you look at purchasing Roxio's Toast; it is far more flexable than iDVD in the files it will accept and should work with your AVI and VOB files.

  • How to burn a DVD with two audio track?

    There is a projet with the original video and a second audio track with music. I want to burn a DVD with both audio tracks. When playing the DVD you should be able to select audio track 1 (the original sound) or audio track 2 (the music). With Adobe Encore DVD it was easy to configure the two audio tracks and burn the DVD. It is posible to do the same from Adobe Premier Elements 11?
    Thanks,
    Jordi

    Welcome to the forum.
    Unfortunately, PrE does not allow for supplemental Audio Tracks, when authoring.
    I use Adobe Encore for this, but it is only available bundled with Premiere Pro. I do not know if some other, third party, full-featured authoring apps., like Sony's DVD Architect can do that, but I would suspect that they can. The specifications for DVD Architect should have that information, and as it's quite common in full-featured authoring apps., I anticipate that it has that capability.
    If you do go with that program, our MOD, Steve Grisetti, has written a very good book on DVD Architect, and it's available at Muvipix.com.
    Good luck,

  • After editing video how do I get instructions how to burn to DVD?

    You post with the generalized question regarding where to find instructions for the Premiere Elements burn to DVD. You were given those.
    Now you write (with no in between message)
    I need specific answers or no other suggestions.
    I fully understand that and appreciate that. That is why I make it a point to customize my reply to the specific question being ask or to the
    details of "what is not working". Where do I find your specific question and details in this thread so far?
    So, to get to the specifics, just what is your specific burn to DVD issue that is causing to you write. There are many points along there way
    where you may be stuck in the process.
    If you read my question you can see where I’m stuck now
    What are you doing when you get stuck. Telling me burning to DVD is not going to help.
    1. Do you know that after you edit your Timeline in the Edit area, you either go to Tools/Movie Menus or straight to Publish+Share/Disc/DVD disc?
    2. If so, how far do you get? Is it that you do not know the path or that you get hit with a program crash or any error message in the Publish+Share/Disc/DVD disc task? Is that where we are non communicating, distinguishing between the two?
    I am prepared to give you right on answers if you can zero in on your question and details.
    I want you to succeed. So, please help me to help you.
    All I see from you so far is
