Hi Mike,
For Dynamic Link – you do it from Encore. Encore had a “Adobe Dynamic Link” menu, then you select “Import Premiere Pro Sequence”.
As for the audio when you render out using MPEG2-DVD – I have found that even though MPEG2-DVD always saves the audio out separately, if you do Import As: Timeline in Encore, and select the video file, Encore will “magically” load the associated audio file too. I too found that confusing.

Well, DVDs are MPEG2, and I have had good success with the MPEG2-DVD preset. However, on my most recent project (which was admittedly short-form), I never rendered out at all – I used CS4s dynamic linking for everything. IIRC, I simply added the Premiere sequence to the Encore project, and when Encore went to build the DVD, it took care of the rendering. I’m not at that computer right now, but I don’t think I had to do anything else to make it work. This was on a new Vista-64 system with 6GB of RAM – on a 32-bit OS, or with limited memory I would definitely render out of Premiere using the MPEG2-DVD preset.

[Darby Edelen] “Unless I’m mistaken the ‘parent’ method literally returns the parent of the layer in the composition”
Yes, I figured that when the expression failed – I was just wondering if there was a work-around, so you and Dan have both answered my question…just not the answer I had hoped for…
Dan’s comment about instancing makes sense – I guess if it was something I really needed badly I might could make an effect plug-in out of it? Obviously various layers can reference the same effect, but with different parameters being supplied to that effect by each layer. This is pretty much the kind of thing I was hoping to accomplish by referencing the parent of the comp.
Thanks!
Brian
