Play it either way actually.
I use a full 8Mbps data rate for the Linkplayer.
I also use 8Mbps if the WM9 file is to be played on a PC from the hard drive. But, I generally reduce the data rate to 5Mbps if the DVD-ROM will be played in someone else’s PC. The Linkplayer’s DVD drive seems to handle the higher data rate better than some of the PC DVD drives out there.
The WMV-HD file is nothing more than a properly configured WM9 file exported directly from the Adobe Media Encoder. No extra cost involved. Since the player can handle it, and other PCs can handle it, it has been a very useful format for me.
One additional note. Since most PC monitors can’t handle a full 1920X1080, I almost always export as 1280X720 deinterlaced. My TV is really only 1280X720 also, so why bother spending data rate and file size on a file that will be reduced by the television anyway?
It seems that 1280X720 is the better solution in most cases. At least until we all have bigger monitors as well as better televisions.

You may want Linear keyframes when Bezier are the default. Happens to me all the time.

You need to ensure that the drive letters are the same on both systems.

Yikes – well, I hate to butt in on the Boss, but the original Premiere Pro didn’t have a number. Stupid marketing trick that backfired. However, they forgot to tell the Engineers who wrote the software, so when you install it, it leaves a version 7.0 marker all over the place.
When version 1.5 came out, everyone started referring to the original version (remember, no number) as 1.0 even though it really wasn’t.
Confused yet? Sorry. But there is a good chance that this particular version 7 is what I just described, version 1.0 in disguise.

The DVDs that are used in the Linkplayer are simply DVD-ROM (even RW – saves disks). Nothing fancy.
Just copy the M2T file over to the DVD-ROM and you are done.
Or do what I do and use Windows Media (WMV-HD) – see https://www.wmvhd.com for examples of what works.
As for authoring… No. Not on this device. You see the movie directory (or the picture ot the audio) and select the file you want to play.

I believe that it is a lot easier to cary around a DVD player than a camera. Especially when someone else reaches for the remote.
I purchased the IOData AVeL Linkplayer2 over two years ago. The $249 price was irresistable. However, I am not certain you can get those anymore, because JVC licensed then and raised the price to $399.

Much cheaper in the long run than a PC, and a LOT easier to take over to a friend’s house. All of my corporate customers have them in the training rooms where my training material is used.
As soon as Blu-Ray is less expensive, and that should be soon, go that route instead.

You have not provided enough information.
What are your project settings and what are your export settings?

Closed captioning requires the external CC encoder. Sorry. You can run a crawl, but not a closed caption.
By the way, I watch WESH-TV on Brighthouse Networks in Clermont FL.

Make sure that your composition is 720X480 using the 1.2 pixel aspect ratio so that your export is correct. If you must, click on the “Stretch” checkbox and set the ratio manually from the list by selecting DV NTSC Widescreen.
