  • Exporting to Mini-DVD from Encore CS5?

    Posted by Robert Dodrill on December 7, 2011 at 11:46 pm

    I’m working on a couple of commercials and the client asked for a copy on mini-dvd (and yes I confirmed mini-dvd and not mini-dv).

    I’m using a dynamic link from Premiere CS5 and can burn regular DVDs just fine. However, when putting in this mini-dvd it doesn’t show up. The only disc options are dvd, blu-ray, and flash. Under Disc Info Settings the available sizes remain the three defaults.

    So I put in custom and entered 1.4gb because it seemed logical. I did a check and there were no errors, and then burned the disc and it all went through.

    Here is where the problem comes in, I put the mini-dvd back in to play and nothing. My computer doesn’t even recognize a disc in the tray. I tested on a dvd player and the same result.

    Oddly when putting a blank disc in, my computer prompts me that it’s blank and able to burn.

    So am I missing a setting here? Are Mini-DVDs compatible to burn with Encore?

    By the way these is the discs that I picked up:

    They should just burn like a 4.7 disc but less space.
    Create files and burn it with another software?
