export to DVD not working
I’m trying to make a DVD from my Premiere project. I don’t need any menus, just want the DVD to run a continuous loop (during a tradeshow).
I watched a tutorial (https://www.adobe.com/designcenter/video_workshop/?id=vid0257) that said that you could burn a DVD directly from Premiere. It wants me to go to File: Export: Export to Encore. I can’t even see that option. My only export options are to Media, ClipNotes, or EDL.
Okay, so I try it a different way. File: Dynamic Link: Send to Encore. Then it opens in Encore and I try to Build it. But its saying that I don’t have a Recorder (in Destination pulldown). I have Roxio DVD recorder… but it won’t find it, and I can’t tell it to find it, I can only “refresh”… which doesn’t work obviously.
What do I do?? I want this DVD to play automatically and run in a loop. Don’t care how i get there – just need it to work. ASAP!
Thanks.

Hi Julie,
What version of Premiere are you using? The option to export to Encore should be there. Have you considered exporting you video from Encore as an mpeg-2 file? Then importing to Encore?
As for Encore not reading your DVD drive, try to see if another program can. Check to see if your DVD is actually recognized by your computer (if your on a Mac you can do this via Disk utility. If your DVD drive shows up in everything but Encore then you could try reinstalling Encore.
Hope this helps, give it a try and let me know know how you get on.

Thanks for your reply. I should have given you more info, sorry…. I’m on Windows XP, CS4. Premiere is brand new on my machine and I haven’t used Encore before, thus the desire to skip it altogether and just get to DVD the fastest way possible!
I can’t explain why there’s no option to export to Encore in Premiere. Its just.. not there. Not even grayed out.
My DVD is definitely being recognized. I burned one yesterday using Roxio and it’s in the drive now, showing up..
So, I’ll try a few more things today and then reinstall Encore I guess. If anyone thinks of anything else, let me know! My IT dept isn’t super speedy with requests to reinstall..
Thanks,

Did you look under “Dynamic Link” in the File menu?

Ah ha. I just realized that the video I was watching as a tutorial was for CS3 and that “export to Encore” option is different now. Yes – I can get to it through Dynamic Link.
And I’ve solved the burner issue!
Now my only remaining problem is – how do I tell this DVD to loop automatically?
Also its forcing me to do NTSC or PAL when I open it in Encore… but I need it to be widescreen. Can I do that during the Build process?
Thanks,

I am having a similar issue–I cannot figure out how to export my Premiere CS4 project to Encore. When I click on Dynamic Links, there is NO option to export to Encore. What the heck? This is very frustrating, as when I open Encore and try to import a Premiere sequence from there, the program crashes every time.
I have tried exporting my project as an MPEG2-DVD file and every time I do, the audio is silent on the final product! I don’t know what I’m doing wrong–nothing is muted or un-selected. The only way I can make a playable file is to create an AVI, which is much lower quality. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
