Simple DVD burn question
Hard to believe I am having such trouble. I have a bunch of wmv files I want to simply put to dvd disks for viewing on a stand alone burner on tv. I tried winAVI but the video would freeze every time at two seconds. It played fine on the pc except there was no sound. So Encore I am trying out. I converted the wmv file with Adobe Encoder to mpeg2-dvd. I am stuck now on getting it to the Sony DVD-RW drive. In Encore cs5, in the build tab I can not choose that file. Or am I going about this the wrong way? I do want the best possible quality. Thanks in advance for any response. Rick

rick,
you need to learn the basics first. you can´t burn a MPEG2-file on a DVD to play it back on standalone-players.DVDs needs to be authored/programmed with DVD-authoring-applications like adobe Encore or apple DVD Studio Pro.
to author DVDs you need elementary video- and audio-streams and within the authoring-app you´re creating the logical connetions between all asset – menus, videos, audio and subtitles.
the final progress would be to mulitplex all these assets into a DVD(-folder) and to burn it to your DVD+/-R or to give it to replication-facility.

Yikes! These are the basics huh? Is there a tutorial I can view on this? Or step by step instructions? I don’t want to do any adjustments to these .wav files, just want to transfer them to a DVD for TV viewing. Oh and the sound to work. 🙂 Rick

Hi Rick ,
You have mentioned : “In Encore CS5, in the build tab I can not choose that file” what does this mean?
Simple steps to burn your files in DVD are :
1. Import your files in project.
2. Create single or multiple timelines( Depending upon your requirement)
3. Import menu ( from library or your own), if you want menu should be a part of DVD.
4. Set first play to any timeline or menu.
5. Do linking to menu ( if you want)
6. Preview from File menu and check all things work as expected.
7. Go to Build Panel.
8. Select Format as DVD and Output as DVD Disc .
9. Check Recorder (Burner) availability, some Burner should be connected and visible.
10. Insert Disc in Burner .
11 Click on Build Panel.
12. Building will start, after build is successful , check disc on DVD player.I hope these steps will help you.
Thanks
