  • Premiere Pro 2.0 hanging on Export to DVD – 2 Part Question.

    OK, first, when I export to DVD, I choose my custom settings. Min. BR is 4, target is 5.5, Max is 6.5. When I choose 2 Pass VBR, it stops at between 9 and 12%. If I hit cancel, it asks if I am sure I want to, I say yes, and it just sits there and never does anything. I have to reboot. If I choose 1 Pass VBR it renders completely.

    Next. This was shot on a AG100A 24PA. When I made my first DVD I chose 23.97 frame rate, same as footage I assume, and the sound was way behind and got worse, then the footage towards the end of the movie looked as if it was missing frames. What is the best, or suggested, frame rate for this type of project for encoding?

    I can’t answer your question about settings, but I have had this problem. If I have a complicated, many layered 10 minute piece with lots of edits, Premiere 1.5 doesn’t like it. Long ago I discovered that if I have a very complicated piece I have to make it an AVI first, collapse all the layers down, and then I have a much easier export to anything really. I checked many times to make sure I am not having quality loss doing this and it’s fine. However, sometimes the AVI in a video that big, will do the strangest thing. The audio will play for awhile and then start over. Actually seems impossible but it’s happened regularly. Adobe said my drive was full, that was right once, the rest of the time it’s just a flaw. So I just sync it up.
    AVIs export to DVD without a hitch.

    Thanks for the response. Right now I am just exporting to DVD for reivew of FX and give copies to sound guy and music guy for review. I plan on encoding outside of Premiere when I do the actual DVD. I changed my DVD settings from 23.97 to 29.97 non-drop frame and now everything syncs up and the video looks good.
