Windows Vista? Premiere 2.0?
What does Task Manager indicate for Premiere? CPU usage? Not responding?
Try using the “burn to folder” option and then use your burning app to finish.
DVD video has several limitations;
1. 4.3 GB space on the disc
2. Although the DVD specs limit combined video and audio bitrate to 9.8 mBps, most of us dont go much over about 8.5 mBps. Using Premiere to encode both limits your video bitrate to about 7 mBps…just use the PAL DV 4:3 High Quality 7 MBps CBR one pass preset. (providing your movie is less than an hour).
Editing a wedding reception and notice that the camera man is wooping things up pretty loudly but the guests seem to be having a ball, then notice about 20 minutes of recorded black at the end of the reception tape during which I can hear the camera man talking to a friend while driving home…”Man I am waisted..smoked way too much weed between ceremony and reception…bla bla bla.
Reviewed the edited reception with the client and she asked “Can you take the camera man’s screaming off the video?
When folks are given a choice between a direct copy via a DVD burner for $20 or an edited version with menu for $300-400, they almost always go for the duplicate.
Sure! Use the titler to create your background, but remember Premiere’s DVD layout will include at least 2 subpictures (buttons) and a menu title by default, although they can be moved and resized.
Put your title temporarily in a empty spot in a sequence and export a bitmap of it then delete the title from the sequence.
Then in the DVD layout mode, choose any template and select the Main Menu and go to the Effects controls palette. Under “Menu Background” you can browse to your bitmap and replace the existing backround.
DVD burners come with software on a CD that can burn data to DVDs. Other apps can also burn discs, like Photoshop Elements, I Tunes, ProShow Producer, Audition, Discus, Ulead Photo Explorer, Premiere Elements, Camtasia…just a few from my desktop.
