How to burn DVD from Premiere .ppi file?
I’m having little success trying to burn a DVD after editing video in Premiere 6.0. My Nero program does not recognize the .ppi format. What DVD program do I need (or should I buy) to burn a Premiere-edited program?

The .ppj file format is Premiere’s project file format. It’s not a movie file, it’s really a text file that references all of your source movie files and how you edited them together.
You need to export your edited movie as a movie file, like AVI, QuickTime, or MPEG.
If you upgrade to Premiere Pro (or even Premiere Elements), you can burn a DVD directly from Premiere without having to export.

John,
In Premiere, export your video as an AVI file and import it into a DVD authoring program, such as Encore DVD (trial avaialable) -
Thank you both. I’ve followed your advice and am trying Encore DVD 2.0 trial version. But I can’t seem to get my video in the Timeline and experience other tumbling blocks like – First Play not set error and Title Button not set error.
Essentially, I’m simply trying to burn a DVD from a completed video, no fancy chapters or buttons.
Obviously, I’ve got another piece of software to learn and suffer through. Any further help would be appreciated.
