They are also lower down on the page you probably used to download the Premiere/Encore functional content installer, under “Additional solution: Install the Resource Central library content”:

Is the DVD full with your datarate at 6 CBR? If so, use VBR with the target at 6, with the max higher. If it is not full, try CBR 8 and see if that improves the quality.
I don’t see why you are exporting to DV. Try exporting from Premiere as MPEG2-DVD (m2v and wav).
I would also try dynamic link, since your workflow is SD to SD.

The first thing to try is to set the transcode setting in Encore (or export from PR/AME) for MPEG2-DVD PAL widescreen, and scale to fill. Assuming your original asset and PR sequences settings are as you say, that should work.

What is your source material? High def? Standard? DV?

Excellent!

I assume you are doing a DVD, not bluray. It’s not cut off; the ratio for HD to SD is slightly off. Premiere, AME, Encore now have a “scale to fill” setting that corrects this without having to compute the crop.

PAL? NTSC or PAL, 1080×576 doesn’t work. Since CS4, PAL wide, square pixel equivalent, 1050×576.

When you are bringing in compliant assets, I think it is best to go back and create the DVD file from your uncompressed (or less compressed) original.
That said, I don’t understand why your transcoded file is too big.
Check the obvious: single sided disk selected?

Use an Encore Bluray project. Build to a bluray image so the size will fit on a DVD. My recollection is the same as Ricky’s – about 20 minutes at whatever the rate was! I use imgburn to burn the BD image onto a DVD. A BD player will play the DVD as a BD. I have heard that some players will not handle this, and I have tested it on only one player.

> The issue is when the HD content is resolved by/through/into the default DVD aspect ratio, invariably it crops the video segments when played on a typical DVD device, in this case an older Toshiba flat face CRT television.
That can be the setup on the DVD player. If not that, something is wrong with the transcode settings.
> The caveat is that opening the DVD on a laptop, with VLC etc. gives the correct aspect ratio when the screen is sized.
Software players may not display correctly – including when they show the content the way you intended, but not the way a DVD player will show.
