Rendering DSLR 24P to Standard NTSC DVD format
I’m helping a friend of mine with a project he recorded 1080 24P on a Canon 60D. I actually forgot his footage was 24P, and when I went to render it out, I used the MPEG2DVD preset in Premiere and changed the audio to MPEG (why the Premiere DVD preset set audio to PCM is beyond me).
When the file is done however, it has no audio. Premiere renders the audio as a separate file. I can only conclude that because the source is 24P that this is happening. Or is it something else? What do we have to do to render 1080 24P to a standard NTSC DVD MPEG format with the audio multiplexed in? Thanks for any info on this.

Exports to DVD always produce separate video and audio no matter the format… Premiere/Media Encoder and Final Cut Pro/Compressor both do this. It would be an M2V for the video and a WAV for the audio (or an AC3 instead of a WAV with Compressor).
You would then add the video (M2V) and audio (WAV) files together to a track in your DVD authoring program of choice in order to burn a DVD.

At the settings stage there is a tab for multiplexing. You need to have it ticked for an mpeg file with multiplexing audio and video.

If you do want two seperate files which is btw the best workflow for Encore you can set the audio to Dolby Stereo.
For burning a dvd with a video and audio file in one Encore has to rip (demux) the video from the audio first and put it back together to burn to disk.———————————————–

Wouldn’t that re-render the footage?

Hmmm. In the past I’ve used the TMPGenc program to create MPEG2 files, which always combined the audio and video.
I’ve done several Encore projects using TMPGenc encoded files and never noticed any re-rendering. Encore would write out the given project quite fast because the footage is already rendered to MPEG2.
So if I open the Premiere-rendered M2V file in Encore, will it automatically add the audio file as well, or do I have to manually add it?

As long if its dvd compalitble it does not get re-rendered.
In Encore you import the video and the audio. When the timeline is set up you add the audio, no big deal.
BTW TMPGenc can also make two seperate files.———————————————–

Well, I guess that’s really what I’m driving at. Why doesn’t Premiere just generate a combined file like I can get out of TMPGenc? Makes life so much easier, and no need to re-render. Putting an MPEG2 file in Encore with no audio means it’ll be re-rendered again to put the audio in. I’m not seeing the advantage in that.
Because I’m dealing with h.264 footage coming out of Premiere, I’m trying to avoid not only re-rendering, but having to make intermediates. I guess I have no choice but render out to an intermediate anyway and make targa image sequences, separate PCM audio, and then render the whole thing properly in TMPGenc. Big PITA.

Yes I know that, but what’s the point?
