Microsoft Windows Media Encoder does capture movies playing on your desktop. It produces clips in the WMV format.
It is available as a free download on the MS site.

[Nate] “Well, obviously, or you’d be able to do exactly what Aaron is looking to achieve: “
It is not as obvious as you think.
Time remapping layer process requires more than the ability to set keyframes. It further requires graphs where the Value and Velocity Time Remaps may be adjusted at keyframes.
-
Time re-mapping is not possible within PPro. It is available in After Effects.
Furthermore, the Speed/Duration setting in Premiere is not keyframable.

I had a look at your NTI dvd maker. It turns out that it requires as Input, multiplexed MPG files. That means a single file containing the video and audio signals, like the normal Premiere AVIs.
You have the choice between:
(a)- Importing from Premiere into NTI your project AVIs as they are, without transcoding in Premiere. There is an utility in NTI that will convert your AVIs into NTI compatible MPGs. Or:
(b)- in Premiere Adobe Media Encoder, in the Transcode Settings window, click on Multiplexer and enable DVD in the Multiplexing sub-window. The resulting MPG is to be loaded in the NTI program for burning to DVD.

[OrienLorica] ” but i do have NTI dvd maker. What should i do with these files to make a fully functionng dvd?”
Sorry but I don’t have a clue on how NTI DVD maker works.
I will only add that all video files burned on DVDs are MPEG-2 files as are the already transcoded M2V files that you have. These should be loaded to, accepted by and work with any burning software, included NTI dvd maker. With respect to the chapter points you don’t need, just forget the XPSES file that you have.
PS. If the M2V clips that you have are rejected by the NTI software, try changing their name from XXXXX.M2V to XXXXX.MPG. It might wqork.

[OrienLorica] “What the heck am i supposed to be doing with these?”
When you have produced these files, you are half-way to produce a DVD disk. In order to complete the job, you need a program like Adobe Encore DVD.
These programs will allow you to create the menus, chapter points, the video and audio scenes and sequencess that will be “burned” to a DVD blank disk, using a DVD R/RW drive. The DVD disk thus produced should be compatible with all commercial DVD players.
Programs like Encore take as input either MS-DV AVI clips exported from Premiere and transcode them to separate M2V (MPEG-2 video) and WAV or AC3, M2P, etc (audio) files or
According to your choice, this transcoding is done in Premiere Pro, as you did, and the product is used as Input to Encore where only the audio is transcoded to AC3 M2P or other compatible audio format.
This explains the presence of the M2V and WAV clips that you have reported. The third type that you mentioned is .XPSES files. It contains chapter points that you place on the Premiere timeline in order to mark the beginning of different scenes and sequences in your DVD material. Like Chapters in a book, these chapter points will show on a menu and allow the viewer to jump and return from one chapter to another in any order he desires.
In sum, with these tools you should be able to produce DVDs having all the characteristics and features of those you buy or rent to view movies produced by the major studios.
The short answer to your question is that M2V, WAV and XPSES files are used as Input to DVD burning software that will produce A/V material to be viewed from DVD disks.

Effect Control Window that becomes available when a clip or transition on your timeline is enabled and contains an Effect. If you don’t see it automatically, go to the menu Windows->

Open a new project and Import the old project into the new one.
You might have a pleasant surprise.

[Lanzi] “If I format I will lose the information in it”
It is not a real format. You will not lose anything if you do it. Make a search for the “Convert” function in your OS Help. It is a very quick and harmless operation.
