Hi Jon,
You might have had “MPEG-2” as the FORMAT, then “Match Sequence Settings” below that, which attempts to match frame size and frame rate to the source.
Best to avoid Match Sequence and just choose the format you really want to export to, removes guesswork and surprises. For instance, choose “H.264” and “YouTube Widescreen HD” to get a decent HD export.

You can edit Apple ProRes in Premiere on the PC. There is a bug with CS5 and CS5.5 that it doesn’t like more than 2 audio channels, but ProRes with stereo sound should be fine. Might be ideal since source company is Mac-based, and ProRes is a high-quality 4:2:2 codec.

I am trying to help you. Stan tried to help you. You need to HELP US to HELP YOU.
Have you tried Encore as suggested? We don’t know what you are doing, what steps you have attempted already, so we don’t know what else to suggest.
Sounds to me like you exported the clips from AME, then try to play them in Windows Media Player or something, and maybe trying to burn these files direct to a DVD without Encore (as DATA perhaps?).
Tell me what exact steps are you taking in your process AFTER exporting the MPEG-2 from Media Encoder?

Stan Jones answered you in the first reply to your question.
OPEN ADOBE ENCORE
FILE > IMPORT > AS TIMELINE
Grab BOTH clips in this step, .m2v and .wav, and import them
Audio and Video appear on the Encore Timeline
Go to the BUILD step to burn a DVD
Again, please read the HELP files, Google for tutorials, we can’t hold your hand completely, you have to take some initiative to learn the software you own.
Thanks

You can NOT simply “burn” the files to a disc, a DVD must be “authored” in a DVD program. This means Adobe Encore, which you already have if you have Premiere. Read the manual (HELP files). There are a million free tutorials online, do a search.
Might be simpler for you to use File > Export > Encore from Premiere, this automates the process some, rather than using Adobe Media Encoder

Two files are correct. As instructed already, import BOTH files into Adobe Encore using Import > As Timeline. Then you can burn your DVD, with sound.

Source file type does not matter, final file size for DVD is dictated by encode settings used in Media Encoder or Encore transcode settings.

Hi Martin,
Not sure what you mean about adjusting bitrate in Premiere. From Premiere, you go to Adobe Media Encoder and do the bitrate adjustment there as discussed earlier. For a 140-minute video, you would use about 3.8 for the bitrate. Exported audio and video will appear to be too large, but remember that Encore will transcode the uncompressed audio to AC-3 Dolby, greatly decreasing the size.
The formula I use for bitrate is 560/minutes=rate, and round down a little to allow for other overhead (menus and such). 560/140=4.

Great advice from Jonas. Also, do not use “pure white” at 255, 255, 255, too hot for NTSC. Try 235, 235, 235 and though it will look slightly gray on the computer monitor, it will look white on the TV. Too contrasty when using pure white/pure black together.

Hi Ryan,
Besides verifying Sequence Settings, right-click in Program Monitor window and set Playback Resolution and Pause Resolution to FULL and see if that helps. Have you actually EXPORTED any sample clips to check end results?
Thanks
