Try this:
Avid>Encore
Note: From Avid, uncompressed .avi or self-contained .mov are the best choices. QT Animation codec at 100%/keyframe every frame works well.

If the source video that you use to edit in Premiere Pro is interlaced NTSC footage, then keep everything interlaced all the way through DVD creation.
Let the player and/or the plasma handle the deinterlacing for display.

For posterity, what was the source of the problem and how did you fix it?
17 burns or 17 coasters? If the latter, may I recommend a couple of RW discs next time? 🙂

[Michael D. Brown] “The MPEG was created by Sorenson 4.5. Encore wants to transcode this video – it usually doesn’t transcode these files.”
This is the statement that concerns me the most.
Did you start with one of the DVD presets in Squeeze?
There is a checkbox next to the “Auto GOP” drop-down box. It forces Squeeze to close the GOPs, which is better for use in Encore. Is that box checked?
Are you saying your source audio is 48KHz/16-bit, or that you exported from Squeeze as MPEG PCM audio? Squeeze’s default (as you are probably aware) is to transcode the audio to MPEG Layer 2 audio, which is often a very bad choice for DVD.
Are you accidentally multiplexing the audio and video streams? If Encore gets a muxed program stream with audio that is not matched to the project audio settings, it will re-transcode the whole muxed file, audio *and* video.

Frame rate of source video?
Closed GOPs selected in encoding parameters in Squeeze?
Please list your other encoding parameters, both audio and video.

You’re welcome.
Encore does read it automatically, but it doesn’t always get it right. It depends a lot on the source file.

Go to File>Interpret Footage in Encore. What does Encore think the PAR of your video file is?
