Where to burning MPEG2-DVD format with?

Since Adobe got rid of Encore and I do not have CS6 to downgrade, I am looking for an free, alternative programm to burn PP MPEG2-DVD format with.
Do I need a DVD-Authoring software or can simply windows burn the files on DVD for players to read?
Thx,
Alex

As far as I know, you MUST install Premiere Pro CS6 to get Encore, there is no separate install of Encore
I have seen mention of then uninstalling P-Pro CS6, with being careful to uncheck the option to uninstall Encore
CS5-thru-CC PPro/Encore tutorial list http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1448923 may help
The bottom section of the link above has several Adobe links, and other information, on downloading Premiere Pro CS6 and the bundled Encore CS6, and the TWO ADDED downloads for the Encore library content, to author a DVD or BluRay... and the tutorial list includes learning how to use Encore... pay particular attention to the picture in reply 3 at this link - https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1516173 (picture first posted by Ann Bens and reposted by Stan Jones)

Error Message while trying to burn a DVD-R with my MacBook Pro: "The disc can't be burned, because the device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media.

While using my Mac OS X Version 10.6.8 to burn a DVD-R I keep getting the error message: "This disc can't be burned, because the device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media."
So, I tried the iDVD and got the same error message.
Can anyone out there help me? I've tried both a DVD - R, and a CD.
I made a short 2:20 minute presentation from iMovie and used the "share" to iDVD, then to iTunes, then I tried exporting it to Quicktime and saved it on my desk top. That is when I tried burning by opening the blank DVD-R in the finder then draging the movie on to it and selecting the burn option. Thank you for your time in helping me with this frustrating problem.
Peace, Pyxidis

I have had that same problem, but it was unrelated to any upgrade.
In my case the optical drive was simply failing, and I replaced it - it was a Powerbook, about eight years old.
It is possible that it's unrelated to Lion, as unlikely as this may seem, since you've just upgraded.
Optical drives seem to be the most life-limited component in these computers. The laser just seems to get weak with age.

Frame Skip on MPEG2-DVD Export with 24fps source file to 23.976

I'm trying to solve an issue that I've been having for the past week on a DVD I'm hoping to get to the factory for replication by New Years.
My source file is a TRUE 24.00fps 1080p Quicktime Uncompressed (it was shot on film, and originally released on film...that's why it's true 24 instead of 23.976)
I put it in a 720x480 24fps sequence in Premiere CS5, and exported as an MPEG2-DVD for my upcoming DVD. I used the following settings:
Quality 5
Frame Rate: 23.976
Field Order: Progressive
Pixel Aspect Ratio: Widescreen 16:9
Render At Maximum Depth
VBR 1-Pass
Min: 2.8
Target: 6
Max: 9
GOP Settings:
M Frames: 3
N Frames: 12
The resulting DVD always seems fine when I'm playing it, the motion and field order look great. But in the exact same scene with a heavy-motion steadicam shot through a hallway, there always seems to be a frame skipping. An entire frame that just goes missing for no apparent reason. It is not a consistent frame....it changes every time I encode, but it is always within 2 or 3 seconds of the same place in the movie. The wierd part is the movie doesn't seem to fall out of sync....this frame just disappears.
Any help would be much appreciated. This is driving me up a wall!!!!

2nd, I don't do 24p but isn't there a "pull down" setting you have to use?

HT203477 I've been trying to burn a DVD edited with FCP_X. I keep getting a "Quick Time Error 0" and my DVD doesn't burn. Why!

I have been getting a "Quick Time Error 0" when I try to burn a DVD even when using a dual layer DVD. The total length is only 2.5 hours long! I've been trying to burn this DVD for 2 months.

Can you tell us how and what does the burn.

I need help! I am trying to export my video to a DVD format on my Premier Pro CC 2014, but the MPEG2 - DVD format is missing from my presets!?

I already updated my Premier Pro CC 2014, updated my Adobe Media Encoder 2014, and still both do not have the MPEG 2 - DVD preset on them. Is there anyway I can download the presets somewhere and just import those presets to my Premier Pro? I have no idea how to fix this. Can anyone help?

Bought the LG external mac compatible drive and have the smile on my mac disc label (bought) - have set the 'CD Boundary for text formatting' to LightScribe Full Label and there is supposed to be a lightscribe pop-up popping up when i press print but no pop up.
Could the lightscribe that i downloaded from their site not be installed even though it said 'successfully installed?'
anyone know what i am talking about? and could help?
thx

Lightscribe is not an Apple product, so you might get better answers on the Lightscribe forums:

Replaced DVD-ROM with 18x MCE Superdrive. Will not complete a DVD burn!!!!

updating my gigabit ethernet dual 450 G4 powermac. swapped out the original dvd-rom drive with an 18x SuperDrive from MCE. Running Panther 10.3.9 with all updates. Machine has upgraded 120GB hard drive, 512 RAM.
Driver loads from MCE install disc. Using Toast 7.1.2 to burn a data DVD-R using automatic "best speed" setting. Drive revs up and "writing lead-in" appears in Toast window, but no blue in the progress bar. Toast then says :Writing disc", and displays a time (usually 1:40), but does not count down. Eventually, the drive becomes silent and the burning process just hangs there. I've let it hang for about an hour. Tried burning a DVD-R with 20MB data, up to a disc with 2GB data, and same thing happens. I then abort the burning process, having to Force Quit 5 times to close Toast, then restart. OS prompt appears as Toast opens, saying "disc contains no volumes blah blah, eject, ignore etc). I eject the DVD-R and ALWAYS on the write surface, there is about a 1/2" of data that appears to be written, but the disc is obviously unreadable. I have wasted 7 out of the 10 free DVD-Rs that came with the MCE drive. Used PatchBurn 3 and it says drive is already supported. System Prof says burning is "vendor supported".
Tech support on the phone asked about master/cable settings. Superdrive is master (as was original DVD-Rom I removed), and I kept intact the Zip 100 drive underneath, which has no jumper plug on either of the 3 sets of jumper pins.
I ran the burning process: 1.) with Zip Drive unplugged from shared cable, SuperDrive still set to master. 2.) with Zip drive connected and set to slave, SuperDrive still as master.
Same burning problem with Toast 7.1.2 as well as the older 6.0 version.
I managed to however burn a CD-R of data in both Toast versions, and disc burning appears to be supported in the iTunes burning preferences.
What else. The drive is listed in Toast as DVD-RAM. And apparently tech support has told me this is an LG 18x SuperDrive, and I was instructed to load the driver from the install disc for 20x SuperDrive. The driver froom the 18x install disc (the obvious one I thought, since it is an 18x burner), did not enable burning according to System Profiler and iTunes. I used PatchBurn 3 to create a driver successfully, but had the same burning problem.
I'd rather find some answers here, than have to call MCE support in Irvine California and use up minutes on my cell!!!
Please, help. I'm sure I can send the drive back to macmall.com. Can anyone recommend a SuperDrive that will actually work in my G4 Dual 450?
Thank You!!
marc

Today I bought that very same model LG - branded, black front from a local PC retailer. It was cheap, bulk without any package or cables,in fact it was only 5 Euros more than a CDRW...
Apple System Profiler says : DVD-RAM GSA-H55N, vendor Aopen/LG, atapi , firmware id : 1.03 , internal disk id : 0.
I have a copy of Toast Titanium 6.05 -> upgraded for free at Roxios website to 6.1.1 and succes - I have burned a 550 MB CD-R with Toast under my beloved Jaguar OS 10.2.8 at full speed settings in virtualy no time ;.)
I am bidding on ebay right now for a copy of Apples ilife (2003) which contains idvd3, the only version which will run on my specs.( idvd4 is some 700Mhz minimum ) . I will try tomorrow how about patchburn in the Jaguar edition will make this drive compatible with Finder's or itunes burn buttons.
Anyway, Toast 6 seems to be able to do the job, and it can make DVDs and Video-/ Picture and what not else CDs too. I did not doctor with the speeds settings, I left all to "best possible" and it burnt in very little time a disc I can read on my Tiger Mac too.
The G4 PCI tower ( 1999 - 2000 ) is built on around the same mainboard as the blue/white G3, it has internal 100 MhZ IDE-bus, so it works even this old and I would expect any G3 tower wo also support that combination of Software/OS/Burn Apps. Those old machines can do wonders, let alone you need the Software from back when it was "High-End". - Of course I could put Tiger and ilife 06 on it, but then it would get ridiculous slow and unproductive.
Just my few first opinions with the all new Burner in the oh so old machine

Why can't I get wide screen when burning a dvd?

My sequence is all 1920x 1080 HD footage in mpeg2. My photos are all 1920 x1080 px. In encore if I want to burn a standard DVD it automatically goes to 720x480 if I choose " mpeg2dvd" format. Why isn't there a wide screen mpeg2 dvd format?

Colin, what you show is the dialog box when I do file> export media, right? Except mine is different (Pr 5.5 iss different?) and has a check box for "match source attributes" and when that is checked the format box is grayed out. And I don't see where you can customize anything.
What's the purpose of File>export media if it doesn't create a dvd?
If i do File> dyn link> send to encore there is no dialog box like you showed. it doesn't give any choices except dvd or blu ray and no "wide screen".
Are you all saying that 720x480 is all you get on a dvd and if your source is 16x9 it will squish it to fit? aren't hollywood dvd's in 16x9?

Exporting to a mpeg file, or a DVD format ??? questions around this:)

Hi friends
May I ask a silly question?
I wonder, when i have finished editing the movie, audio, effects, and all of that. When I am VERY satisfied with the result ( do you know the feeling )
OK, everything is on my timeline, and I press Ctrl + M. I choose MPEG2, and I get a file that I put on my desktop. From my desktop I burn it with Windows DVD Maker, choosing to make a dvd in this program.
Here is my question: Do I have to use another then PRpro for making an DVD formated DVD disk?
Is it the same to burn a DVD file on a plate, then burn a DVD formated plate?
And then, why cant prememiere do this?
I use the Que in media encoder, but that does not make any different...
Help me to understand this, please.
Best regards from Norway
Stig

Thanks for getting back to me so fast, and knowing exactly what I ask for .
So what I have learned is: Windows DVD maker is a program that does the same thing as encore, but of course a smaller program.I have made menues in encore, but I did not know that it also made proper DVD files. Is it easyer from DVDmaker (if no chapter)? (it took me about 6-7 hours burning in W DVDmaker for 1 hours movie)
One more thing, please. I also try to burn from PRpro using the "Match the sequens setting" button. ( I use an AVCHD 1080i setting, square pixel, Frame size: 1920 x 1080) Is this compatible with DVD burning?
Is it right to choose this setting when burning? The reason I choose "Match the sequens setting", is because I get a larger file (twice as big), then in MPEG mode. I am then thinking... bigger file, better picture quality on TV. (?)
When I sit here now, I try to make dynemic link to encore. It is ok, but Encore tells me that the Transcode settings are 720X 480 (in new project window in startup encore). This is not an HD setting, and is not an 1920 x 1080 like I have in premiere Pro.
Hope you will help me again.
Best regards
Stig

Cs3 export for mpeg2-dvd settings -happy as a clam-

Hi,
Im using CS3...
I want to export from CS3 to mpeg2-dvd preset ( ntsc high quality, which is set to 4 out of 5 on the quality slider setting )
My footage is 720x480i 29.97, 16:9
The dvd will be watched on computer and Digital TV ... so I'm thinking I will convert to progressive.
My bitrates in the preset are:
min: 1.5
avg: 4
max: 7
gop m frames 3
n frames 15
The file size exported is 1.4 gig. It looks OK but not great compared to timeline playback. I've been looking at my notes ---about making exports----but I am so happy ( happy as a clam ! ) ...that I even managed to get a 51 minute story out of this source material ( walking and walking and walking , long story..., not to mention probs with the continuity ).... as I was saying, I am so happy with the product--- I was thinking maybe there's some good advice re: export while I go get some beer to celebrate !
..... I was wondering if you all might have some suggestions for changing my bitrate settings to give me a better quality export....and I will then burn a DVD someday with that exported file.
Rod

Hi ,
Thanks Bill..yes, I've looked at those threads, those guys are incredibly
cool...very knowledgeable....
Oddly enough a lot of what they know has come from experimenting and "trial
and error" type stuff....or else is wouldn't be as original and good as it
is.
I admire that.
I'm going to up my avg bitrate and see what happens...screw around with that
a few times ...see how it goes...
You see, at the moment I am just doing the video, no stills ( no slide show)
and no music track ...so that will change as I add more stuff....the
bitrates and overall compression.. I do , thanks to all you guys, know that
much...Just thought I would go get some beers and ask for 51 mins for the
preset of mpeg2-dvd- from CS3 might be....what a better rate might be right
off the bat....
No big deal.
You have no idea !!!! I am sure happy clams make everything better, whether
it's chowder or broadway plays !!!! (or was that about investing clams? )

MPEG2 encoding fails, but MPEG2 DVD and MPEG2 Blu-ray works

Hey friends,
Every time I try to export with the standalone MPEG2 format option in Premiere Pro CS4 the file comes out empty (0 bytes) and both Windows Media Player 11 and Adobe Encore 4.0.1 say that my machine lacks the necessary codec to play the file (although, I'm thinking that this message is popping up really just because the file is empty/corrupted. I'm running on Vista SP1). Nevertheless, if I export to the MPEG2 Blu-Ray format with not too dissimilar values, everything works fine. The MPEG2 DVD format also works, granted that's lower bitrate and resolution. So, what gives? Could it have something to do with the audio?
My source files are NTSC 29.97fps HDV 1080i .mpeg files, captured from DV tape.
Here are the settings I'm using with the regular MPEG2 encoding (which fails as mentioned):
NTSC, 1440x1080i, 29.97fps, 18.50 max Mbps, 48kHz MPEG audio, which gives me a final file extension of .mpg
And the settings for the MPEG2 Blu-Ray encoding (which works perfectly):
NTSC, 1440x1080i, 29.97fps, 30.00 max Mbps, 48kHZ PCM audio, which gives me a final file extension of .m2v with a separate .wav audio file
Anyway, any help would be appreciated. Did I just completely miss the boat on some well known MPEG2 audio encoding issue or something?
Oh, and my system is Core 2 Duo 3.33 Ghz 4 gigs of ram gigantic harddrive, etc. I'm fairly certain this isn't a hardware issue. The source files playback without hesitation and the rendering time is not overly long.

Since the destination is DVD, don't waste the time or resources to encode at HDV frame sizes. It will just have to be encoded again so that it will fit the standard def DVD frame size. Re-transcoding will significantly reduce final quality.
NTSC DVD:
720x480 with a PAR of 0.9
29.97 fps
"Best Practices" would dictate elementary (separate) video and audio streams (.m2v and .wav). Avoid multiplexed .mpg files.
"Easiest Practices" would dictate exporting from Premiere as an .avi file and letting Encore handle the transcoding automatically.

Unable to export to MPEG2-DVD! Very weird situation .. Please Help!

Hi Folks,
I've been using Pro for years.
Currently using CS6 - a fresh install from the cloud as of a couple days ago.
So, I have a project ready for DVD.
File / Export Media .. this brings up the Export Settings.
I choose MPEG2-DVD as the Format with Match Source Attributes as the Preset, then hit Queue.
Normally, this would queue the export in Adobe Media Encoder as .m2v but for some unexplicable reason - this isn't occuring.
Instead, Adobe Media Encoder drops the MPEG2-DVD format and replaces with the AAC Audio format!?
What the?
Am I losing the plot? Have I missed something?
File / Export Media / Format MPEG2-DVD = .aac file (only) in Adobe Media Encoder??

Thank you Ann.
Turns out I had missed an update for Adobe Media Encoder in the Adobe Application Manager.
I had installed the software yesterday and so I assumed I had the latest version. I was wrong.

How to burn a AVCHD format file to disc

I have been unable to burn a DVD disc with the AVCHD format using the sharing options of Premiere Elements (version 11). There is an error message of "media not present."
The program burn option only worked for a DVD format output, which yields poor relative quality.The original source file imported into elements was an AVCHD (with a .BDM file). I have also tried various name brands of DVD-r or +r media with no resolution.
Alternatively I have tried the save to folder workaround option which generated a ".F4V" file. I have been unsuccessful to convert/burn to disk (last attempt using a 3rd party utility ended with a low quality DVD).
Does anyone have solutions or ideas on how to resolve my issue. Many thanks.

Great news tht the AVCHD on DVD burn to folder (4.7 GB) worked.
However, here is the basic path to stay with....
Although you may see references to a CERTIFICATE FOLDER needed along with the BDMV Folder, ignore that. The AVCHD DVD burn to folder comes only with the BDMV Folder. ImgBurn should create a CERTICATE FOLDER for your AVCHD DVD when burned there.
1. Open ImgBurn and select the category "Write files/folders to disc".
2. In the page that opens, go to the File Menu/Browse for a Source Folder and browse to the BDMV Folder from the AVCHD DVD burn to folder. Select only the BDMV Folder, using the Select Folder option in the dialog.
3. Click on the Build button at the bottom of the dialog to initiate the process. At the onset, you will probably we hit by program messages saying that it detects a BDMV Folder and asks if you want it to reset for Blu-ray disc. Answer No. Do not let it reset to Blu-ray disc. If it wants to do volume labels for you, it is OK to say Yes.
The final setting that worked for me for playback with my CyberLink computer player were:
Data Type: MODE1/2048
File System(s): ISO9660, UDF (1.02)
I think that I have covered all the dos and do not's, but, if any problems, please let me know. I have road tested this, so it should be OK.
We will be watching for your results.
Thanks.

Recommended DVD format for distribution?

Hello all!
I am just finishing my training/lessons video, created
in Elements 3.
Now, I am deciding how to make copies of my project
for the sake of distribution.
I anticipate a "small" quantity (less than 100) so Id like
to burn the DVD's with my home computer.
My project actually came in at 1 hour 25 minutes, so if I
write to a "standard" DVD, Premiere will do some compression
which may be good enough for a training video.
At any rate, does anyone have an idea of what format DVD will
be the most compatible with the most peoples DVD players?
Im considering DVD-R, DVD+R, and DL (Dual Layer).
(PS: Ive checked with DiskMakers and their "short-runs" are
made with a replicator, so my query would still stand if I
farmed-out the project to them.)
Thanks so much!

Taiyo Yuden are considered by many to be the best recordable DVDs you can buy. If you're interested, research via Google...
The only thing you really need to watch out for is whether you're getting genuine Taiyo Yuden media (watch out for fakes).
Well, another thing is that TY seemingly makes about a gazillion different variations, so for the first-time buyer it can be a bit hard to figure out exactly what you need.
For instance, your post said you were looking at "silver thermal"... I believe that's shorthand for DVDs that can be printed on via high-end thermal printers. You probably don't need that, although it doesn't hurt, either.
Here's what I always remember to look for with Taiyo Yuden:
* Value line vs. Premium line. They have two product lines, "value" and "premium". I have no idea what the difference is, although I always get the premium because it's usually only a few cents per DVD more, and I *assume* that "Value Line" would mean it's something less than the premium??? Although, I've never seen/heard complains about the Value line, so it could just be cosmetic. In any event, I mention this just so you're aware that if you're comparison shopping, you could be comparing prices of one site's Value media with another site's Premium media... in some cases "Value Line" is specifically mentioned in the description, but in other cases it's like pulling teeth to figure it out.
* DVD-R. For some reason, seems to be easier to find this format than DVD+R, so that's what I get. Avoid DVD+RW, DVD-RW, or dual layer since you'll run into compatibility problems with off-the-shelf DVD players.
* Cake box is desirable (this is the spindle and cover you normally see in the stores). TY also sells "wrapped in tape"... same media, but you get 100 DVDs wrapped only in cellophane - after you open it, you've a stack of 100 loose DVDs waiting to be knocked over! I've taken to just keeping my old cake boxes :)
* A DVDs can be non-printable, printable via inkjet, or printable on a thermal printer. If printable, you can either print only up to the hub (usually labeled just "Printable"), or up to the hole in the middle ("Hub Printable"). Printable DVDs are hard to find in the store. Online, it's hard to find ones that aren't. Go figure. In any event, my printer (a cheapy HP 5160) will print directly on CD/DVD (which is VERY COOL!), so I get the "hub printable" inkjet DVDs. As far as I know, they're all equivalent except for what type of printing is possible.
Putting that all together, here's what I ordered last time:
"Taiyo Yuden Premium White Inkjet Hub Printable 8X DVD-R Media (Premium Line) in Tape Wrap (Free Ground Shipping)", mfgr. part. no. DVD-R47WPP600SK.
BTW, I go one step lower than Hunt and actually use a 2.4x burn rate, even though my drive and media support 8x. Slower is better, from what I've heard, and I'm in no hurry, so...
Within Premiere, I "burn" my DVD to a folder (manually selecting the max quality that will fit on a DVD). I then use Nero and Taiyo Yuden 8x media to burn the DVD at 2.4x.
Using this approach, I've had 0 defects, 0 problems.

Burning/Playing DVD's

Im a new Mac user and Im trying to copy/burn a DVD (Movie)..
1) Do I need additional software on my iMac, or can I burn using Disc Utilities?
I tried to copy and burn using the below instructions, it said burned sucessfully, but the disc doesnt appear to have anything on it, and I cant play it..
Instructions
          1.          Make an Image of a DVD With Mac OS X
          ◦          1 Place the DVD you want to copy into your DVD drive.
          ◦          2 Go to and click on the hard drive and select "Applications." From there, launch the disk utility.
          ◦          3 Click on the name of your DVD that appears in the white pane on the left hand side in disk utility.
          ◦          4 Choose "New Image" in the disk utility toolbar. From there a dialog box will appear. Name the new image and choose a destination where you want to save to save it. The best idea is to save it to your desktop because it will make it easier to find when it's time to burn the image.
          2.          Burn the DVD Image With Mac OS X
          ◦          1 Launch disk utility again.
          ◦          2 Select "Burn" in the disk utility toolbar.
          ◦          3 Find where you saved the image if you didn't save it to the desktop.
          ◦          4 Click on the DVD image and then click on "Burn."
          ◦          5 Insert a blank DVD into your DVD drive and your DVD should be ready in no time.
Lastly, if I just want to watch a movie, what application do I use? (sorry if this sounds dumb)
Thanks, Janet

Most DVD are copy protected, that could be the problem.
