Are you in a NTSC DV 4:3 project? (Project settings).
-
surely you do not have any virus/spyware scanner running?

The Auto settings in Encore often leave empty space on the disc that could be used for a higher bitrate/quality.
A couple of guidelines I use;
1.Dont exceed 8 mbps video bitrate.
2. Fill up the disc with the highest video bitrate without voiding #1.
3. 2 Pass VBR for movies over 75 minutes.Calculating bitrate involves a bit of math. The number of seconds in your movie times the the number of video bits per second and then divided by 8 to convert to Bytes should be close to 4 GB.

For animated text, BluffTitler is dirt cheap and easy to learn.

[Derek Beck] “However, what format would be ideal to export to Encore? Obvious the highest quality is my desire.”
Export from Pro as elementary streams Mpeg2 DVD and .wav. Encore will encode the audio as Dolby and not reincode your .m2v file.

Both Encore and Premiere have the same encoder, so it does not make much sense to export an uncompressed video for Encore.
Interlaced lines will show up a progressive scan PC monitor. If your DVD is for viewing on a PC, then deinterlace on export from Premiere. -
You cant really move existing files, just delete them and go to Edit>Preferences>Scratch disks
Premiere will recreate them there. -
For WMV, do not select “Allow Interlaced” and do select Deinterlace.

A frame of interlaced video consists of 2 fields, upper and lower. The frame of DV is built starting at the top with one thin line of the lower field, then a thin line of the upper field and on and on for the 1/30th of a second and then the next frame is built. The purpose is to fool the viewers eye into seeing smooth motion. Only TVs display fields as they were designed. PC monitors show the jagged edges you see.
The “Allow Interlaced processing” option is only available for Windows Media Video and is off by default. There are/were a few DVD players that could play WMV to a TV.
Deinterlacing involves removing one field and duplicating the other. This effectively reduces the vertical resolution by half, but is necessary to remove the jaggies if your video has motion/camera panning or transitions. -
I have seen that several times using Premiere Elements and have given up on that route. I play the DVD through my A/D converter and capture as DV.
Also try VideoRedo Plus. It allows for chopping up Mpeg files and reassembling without recompression.
