If the error is associated to your empty hard drive space – make space. If it won’t fit on the DVD Encore will be your best bet as the action in the video will determine how much VBR compression you can actually get away with something a calculator won’t be able to predict. Encore doesn’t need a menu. Just set the timeline to first play, to loop it tell the end action for the timeline to link back to itself. Make sure the Menu and Title buttons link to it too. and you’re done.

How do I tell how much space the project requires? Its 1:43 minutes and I have over 30 gigs of space in the drive.

Premiere seems too basic in its structure for making DVDS

How do I export the job (and Premiere menu) to Encore so I can just burn it

I wish I could make an MPG 2 file without the audio embedded..then I could use and DVD program ( I like DVD Architect)…I wold then encode the audio to AC-3

[Jon Barrie]

Relax, we want to help you.

You can export (from export> adobe media encoder) just an MPEG-2 without audio, untick the audio. Then export just the WAV with export Audio. Bring them together in Architect and transcode the PCM WAV to AC-3. You should be able to see the estimated size in the bottom of the adobe media encoder interface under the settings box.
Working with the export to DVD function (Go into the settings from your export to DVD) you’ll see it too. Choose VBR 2 pass for best results. This will take a while to render as 100 odd minutes take a long time to compress and scan over twice for optimum results.

Encore and PPro are great professional programs, you just don’t know your way around it. You said there was no Menu in an earlier post. You can take the Photoshop based template or your own and bring that into EncoreDVD as a menu asset and make changes in Photoshop from Encore and it will automatically update in EncoreDVD.

Thank yoiu…

Just so you know.> I am not the user here..just trying to help. I actually use Velocity, Vegas and Speededit…but since we also have PP2…I thought I would try to help out

to clarify…my asscoiate has already made the mensu (play all) in Premier. She only uses premier and never used ENCORE.

I offered to make it in Archtect, but she wanted to keep it in Premiere..and when I tried to reduce compression, it would not show enough space until I was at 3.6 KBS..and I was afraid this would look very bad.

So..I said that if I take the file as an MPG2 and get the ac-3 audio..I would do it in Archtect as I sure its that darn PCM audio thats the problem

so…

I will export it with video seperate from audio (hopefully this can be done at the same time) and then bring it in to Archtect…and make the AC-3—thats is what yoiu are saying correct?

Perhaps I can do this in Encore, but do not wish to do so fro only one project

Thank you very much

Al

Export from the Adobe Media Encoder as Mpeg 2 DVD at 5100 kbps VBR. By default Premiere will export the video and audio separately.

Al:
If you are in Premiere Pro CS3 and want to do a DVD without menus, try this. 1)Make sure you have enough disk space. 2)Edit project in Premiere. 3)Once done, select File>Export>Export to Encore. 4)In the Export to Encore window select the option Without Menus and Encoding to NTSC Low Quality (4Mbps Constant Bit Rate, which is a fairly good quality and will allow you to fit your 1 hour 43 minutes project with PCM audio). Good Luck.

—-sorry for the incovinience—-

Well, as always, the answer is where it shouldnt be.
I´ve been through this same problem last night and it all endep up beeing a virus in the “File System Information” folder who didnt made possible to premiere see how much space was avaiable.
Run an anti-virus (avast in my particular case)and you should have your problems adressed.
This answer is for all you who have plenty space for a 1 minute DVD and yet premiere show a insuficient space msg.

have a nice day,
