Making HD DVD rendered in Premiere Pro CS3
I just purchased a Canon XH A1s and am headed to Alaska to film a hunt for a friend. I’m not sure I can edit and then export and then burn the HD video to a DVD.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Here are my questions
1. Using Premiere Pro CS3: Any special capture settings required?
2. Any special edit settings required?
3. Any special export settings required in order to output the file in HD for DVD burning?
4. I am using NeroSmart 6 to burn DVD. Any special setting to use this program, and any special burner required, any special disc required?Thanks.

Premiere pro will do most ,if not all of it for you. However, why would you want to degrade the HDV 1440 x 1080 to SD ,(unless the recipients have only standard definition TVs.) as this is what you will get on a DVD.You could use Blu-ray or Export to Tape for the full high definition look.
Alaska is a great destination for High Definition , when I was there we only had the Canon EX1 Hi-8, good video but, high definition leaves it for dead.
Enjoy the trip.

Thank you for your comment. But once I have rendered my movie, how will I be able to share it if not on DVD? Almost everybody has a HD television these days and aren’t most DVD players HD compatible?

You would probably need to downgrade the footage from High definition say 1440 x 1080 to 720 x 576 to Standard Digital and burn to a DVD as not many have a Blu-Ray player.DVD players are not all HD,(indeed you could end up with a 25Gb file to reduce to a 4.GB DVD and that does reduce the quality. The DVD players try to upscale, but never to the full resolution.
Check out Adobe Forum Web site and/ot their Tech support for more information.In parts it is very good. Which ever way you go the video out of your Canon will be superb, make sure you keep a copy in High Definition.

There are several ways to do this.
1.downscale in the camera to dv and edit in dv and burn to dvd.
2.capture in hdv, edit in hdv and downscale to dvd-mpeg2 and burn to dvd with Encore.
3.capture in hdv, edit in hdv and export to BluRay and burn to a BluRay disk (need to author it first in Encore)
When you want HD quality on DVD you need a BluRay player to view the content: export to Bluray mpeg or H.264 and authore it to a BluRay iso in Encore. Burn with Nero onto a DVD. Single layer will hold about 20 minutes of HDV timeline.
