  Exporting for DVD – having problems…

  Posted by Dave Fisher on December 2, 2009 at 2:47 pm

  Hi, quick followup to my query from a couple weeks ago…

  I exported the Premiere files to Mpeg-2 DVD, but for the life of me can’t figure how to burn that file onto DVD for playback on TV.

  My DVD burning software programs do not have Mpeg-2 as a source option.

  Do I need to convert the Mpeg-2 file to a different video file?

  Will this degrade the quality?

  I tried to burn the folder, and that won’t work either.

  Do I need to save as an image disc? How do I do that?

  Alternately, is there a simpler way / format to export Premiere project files for burning directly to DVD?

  Any-and-all advise will be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you.

  You will need authoring software (such as Encore); this is distinct from DVD-burning software. DVD-video is a very specific construct of files; though you do need to start with MPEG-2 video.

  You might want to take a look at the DVD Primer here:
