I just started doing my 1st project on Encore few days back and it came out great. Got a 2 hour wedding, though its complicated at first, these steps might help for a beginner like me.
From Premier Pro/File/Dynamic Link/Send to Encore
Once Encore opens you can change your video settings to DVD
Then it gets a bit complicated from here adding chapters and menu.
OR you can skip that part and continue below.
You can preview your work by clicking the Disc icon with play to preview.
then select BUILD, youll find all the settings there and if your project will fit the disc.
Also if you have chapters made, make sure to Check Project in case errors are found
In my experience, if there are errors found and you burn it, it wont play in some players
and will work on some players too. Better fix it first.
THEN hit BUILD to burn your DVD
I hope it works for you as well. If I missed something, youtube it.
BTW: my preview suck but once after burning disc it looks great.
Try burning one.
Cheers
