Save Frame As allows you to save as just about anything you want, since it sets up the render queue. Just click on the blue “Photoshop 32-bit” Output Module text to change the setting.

You can change the timecode base to 25 in the Project settings.

Then it sounds like you’re fine.
You should run some tests to compare the quality and file size of the Animation codec with No compression, just to see for yourself.

Then do this:
1. create animation in AE, comp set to DV-PAL preset
2. render to Quicktime Animation codec, millions of colours (“none” compression makes huge files with no noticeable increase in quality)
3. Convert the video to MPEG-2 in an application that can convert to MPEG-2.
4. Import the MPEG-2 video into an application that can author DVDs with menus and so on.You must convert your video to MPEG-2 and author your DVD with a DVD authoring app if you want to play the DVD on TV. You can’t just burn a video to a DVD-R and expect a set-top DVD player to play the DVD-R on TV.
I don’t know if Premiere Pro can author a proper DVD. You probably need Encore DVD.

Search the COW Posts for FLV. You need Flash or Sorenson Squeeze, I believe.

1. You cannot put more than 10 markers at the top of the timeline, but you can attach many more markers to a layer in the timeline. Select the layer and hit * on the numeric keypad. Search the help for “marker”.
2. No. If the shape has an opening, you will see 2 masks when you trace. You’d have to draw a new mask on another solid that gives you the outline you want.

The background looks like shot footage (from a car) with Blur or Directional Blur applied.
The curved lines look as if Trapcode’s 3D Stroke plugin was applied to a curved mask.

Here’s my DVD process:
1. create animation in AE, comp set to DV-NTSC preset
2. render to Quicktime Animation codec, millions of colours
3. Convert video to MPEG-2 in Apple’s Compressor app
4. Import MPEG-2 video into Apple’s DVD-Studio Pro app.The steps are the same for other apps — just insert the name of your compression app (Cleaner or ProCoder) and your Authoring app (Encore?).
Step 2 ensures that your MPEG-2 video is of highest quality: garbage in, garbage out.
You must convert your video to MPEG-2 and author your DVD with a DVD authoring app.

Draw the curved path with the pen tool. Check the manual for that.
