Last time I had to stretch audio, I exported to Adobe Audition, made the fix and dropped the audio back in Premiere.

1. Are you running RGB mode with 8-bit color?
2. Is the resolution of your image set to 72dpi? You say that you can hardly see type that’s 72px high, but that should be quite large in a 720×480 frame.

Doug,
Can you open another project that worked in the past? If so, you might have some corrupt media in your current project.
You also might want to contact Adobe tech support.

Doug,
You don’t need Roxio to burn a DVD. Burn directly using the tools in Encore. Also try rebooting your machine immediately before burning a disc. If those don’t help your problem, output a disc image, then burn that file to DVD using either Encore or Roxio.

I have taken a Blu-ray project authored in Encore CS6, output an .iso, and burned that to disc using Encore CS5. No hiccups whatsoever.

If the audio coming from the game system is not locked to the video, then you will end up with a sync drift when you import the footage into PP. Video editors care a great deal that exactly 48K samples equal one second of media at whatever frame rate you are using.
If you have Adobe Audition from CS6, you can import the audio and squeeze/stretch time to match the picture, then render out a new audio track to edit with. I’ve done this on files up to 2 hours long where I’ve reinterpreted the frame rate of picture in After Effects.

Resize to 1920×1080. 1440x 1080 is a compressed (anamorphic) video format.

David,
Do the customer’s laptops have Blu-ray drives installed and, if so, is there a software Blu-ray player installed?
If your Blu-ray disc plays in a set top player, you are good to go. There is no option in Encore to make a disc be computer-compatible.

We have two Avid systems bought at the same time from the same Avid dealer, one PC and the other Mac with similar specs (Nitris DX boxes). The PC system runs noticeably faster than the Mac. I’ve heard the same from editors in other facilities.

Phil,
Delivery of commercial spots for broadcast is always done at the broadcast standard of the station/network/cable net (1080/59.94i or 720/59.94P for U.S. HD or NTSC for U.S. SD). Some outlets will require HD or SD only, and others require both an HD and an SD copy.
For an event screening, use any standard that the playback equipment will accomodate. To preserve the “film look” of the original footage, you probably will want to screen @ 1080/23.976P.
Standard production workflow for both long-form and commercial spots is to master @ 1080/23.976P and then standards convert the master to all formats required for delivery.
