DVD Export Shennanigans

[Mike Jones]

How are you making the dvd once the dvd files have been created? Via Adobe Encore?

[Mark Suszko]

No, right off the timeline’s own export function, which I guess uses Media Encoder. I’m adding caotions in the metadata settings.

[Mike Jones]

It sounds like your creating a data disc with the dvd files you created with Media Encoder( .m2v @ .wav). The next step would be to take those and use Adobe Encoder (from CS6) or another authoring program to create a disc that can be used in a dvd player.

[Mark Suszko]

I don’t *think* it’s a data disk, but I’ll play with it some more Friday.

[Andreas Kiel]

I think Mike is right .

A proper DVD will have a folder called VIDEO_TS and within it, one or more .vob files.

This layout is created when you author the DVD using proper software such as Adobe Encore, Sony DVD Architect, etc.

Thanks, Jeff. I’ve inspected the DVD I burned, and it is as you describe: two folders, and vob and associated files in the proper place.

One funny thing; when playing in Apple’s DVD player, the captions appear offset to the left side of the screen instead of centered, but I didn’t make any changes in the positioning of captions when making any of this.

[Andreas Kiel]

How exactly did you add the captions?

burn a dvd-r. the dvd+r/rw won’t play on some players.

Imported SRT to the project, dragged it to the timeline, adjusted position on the timeline to get the timing right. On export, used the metadata settings.
