What preset are you using when you choose to Export Media?

I’m exporting in MPEG-2 DVD. I didn’t change the other settings, except the quality that I raised to 5.

[Jeff Pulera]

In Export settings, enable “Multiplexing” option to get a combined .mpeg file with video and audio

Actually, that makes 100% sense.

Usually encoders build the MPEG-2 stream for DVD production as elementary streams (notice the s there.)
The Audio is encoded separately, because of the possibility of 8 additional streams (such as foreign language and commentaries.)

So, if you’re planning this to go to Encore for DVD production – it’s working right! Bring both to encore and you should be good to go.

But, if you want them as a single file, then Turn on multiplexing and switch it to MPEG2 (better yet DVD for a DVD).

This will give you one file and work almost exactly the same – as long as you don’t add additional video or audio streams on the track of a DVD.

Best,

It’s taken me DAYS of watching tutorial after tutorial and youtube video after video; and googling, googling, googling using different phrases and key words, to find out how to make ONE file to burn to dvd from Premiere Pro CC. You told me in one word – multiplexing.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

Hi Kay,

Which DVD authoring program are you using?

Thanks

I’m using Premiere Pro CC which comes with Media Encoder. Others talk about Encore but I could not find that on the Adobe site. Seems like I remember it from a while back, but didn’t find it now.

Anyway, I have rendered and saved and almost a happy camper. During playback I saw something I decided to change and have now tried to re-render/encode it three times today with no success. But I know it works so this time it has to be operator error 🙂

Thanks again.

[Jeff Pulera]

Just to be clear, you can’t simply burn an MPEG-2 file to a DVD disc as data and call it a DVD. Yes, it might play on a computer, but it will NOT play in a DVD player. To be a legal DVD, it MUST be “authored”. Among other things, that means that if you open the DVD in Explorer, it will have a VIDEO_TS folder and .vob files inside of that.

You can download and install Encore CS6 following these instructions – https://helpx.adobe.com/encore/kb/encore-cs6-installed-cc.html

Jeff, it’s really kind of you to help. I am a paid CC subscriber so will download the CS6 PP and Encore unless you tell me there is a better way. (and what that might be 🙂

Thanks

[Jeff Pulera]

Kay,

If you use Encore to create your DVDs, then do NOT use MultiPlexing, should be set to NONE. Encore wants the separate video and audio files.
