blues101 0 #1 September 10, 2009 I am using a cx100 and premier pro. When i was still using my tape camera i had no problems exporting a project using adobe encore and then burning that avi file to dvd using windows. no that im shooting in HD i cant get it to work. im guessing that im not using the right sttings when opening a new project as in 1080p vs 1080i and so on. also when i use encore should i use ntsc dv / ntsc dv24 or ntsc wide screen so that i can watch the dvd on ntsc dvd players. thanks in advance for any help.

PhreeZone 20 #2 September 10, 2009 What version of Premiere are you using? That is going to have a lot to do with the recommendations I give you.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DSE 5 #3 September 10, 2009 As Phree suggests, a complete, easiest answer comes with knowing which version of PPro you're using. But... If shooting with a CX100 going to DVD, Encore settings are going to be NTSC DV Wide, unless you're cropping your image from wide to 4:3 in Premiere.

dragon2 2 #4 September 10, 2009 "Can't get it to work" means what exacly? Please describe the steps you take and what does and what does not work and if not working means an error message, computer hangs, crappy video on the dvd, what? I'm presuming you're using PP CS4 since you shoot AVCHD. That may be your problem right there, use a AVCHD project not a HDV project if that's what you're doing. You also don't say where you're from, a CX100 can be for PAL regions or for NTSC regions, which do you have? Generally once you finish your timeline, you send it to encore using dynamic link and then I think (can't check that for you right now) that encore knows the settings to use as it uses the settings from the PP project. AVCHD/HDV is widescreen by nature, i'd keep it that way, so what you're burning should end up as DV widescreen if you want to burn to a regular dvd and playback on a regular DVD player. ciel bleu, Saskia Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blues101 0 #5 September 10, 2009 Im using cs4 and its a ntsc camera. maybe the problem is that im not using encore. i have been exporting it and using the adobe encoder to make an avi file... this file plays on the pc but when i burn it to a dvd using windows and pop it into the dvd player (its blue ray)it just spits it back out. how do i use the dynamic link you are talking about? thank you Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Take a look at a store-bought movie dvd in your pc, it's got quite the file structure, plus the files are basically mpg files not avi. So how do you get all that? That's what encore is for. In PP4, select the timeline you want to export, then go to file > adobe dynamic link > send to encore. Once the project is open in encore, you can just hit 'burn to dvd' (will give an error message that you can ignore) or do stuff like make a looping video, insert a menu, add more timelines, etc. ciel bleu, Saskia Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
