Sune's suggestion to upgrade is of course a sensible one. But if, like me,
you want to build on what you have rather than starting over you might
check on whether or not there is an upgrade path from your bundled DVDit
software. I use Premiere 6.5. I export separate video and audio files (m2v
and wav) from its timeline using Procoder Express from Canopus, which plugs
into Premiere as well as operating alone. It was under $100. If you don't
want to buy anything you could search for the (free at the time) Main
Concept MPEG encoder version 1.3b, which I used in Premiere 6.5 for a year
or so before buying Procoder Express. With an upgrade to DVDit 6 you can
burn full featured DVDs with Dolby stereo (AC-3), professional menus or
simple first play disks that begin to play when inserted into a deck. I
recently employed the work flow I've described to created a DVD-R master
used to replicate a thousand copies of a documentary, at a local Sony plant.
There are many advantages to the features and tight integration of the
current Adobe Production Suite. But if you don't make at least some decent
part of your living doing video work the price tag may not be easily justified.

From the responses I've received previously, I gather there is no
real way to get decent quality video burned onto a DVD using the
associated DVDit! software, at least not with a timeline of an hour in
length. (Any setting of the bitrate and quality settings high enough
to give a decent picture quality gives me a "data rate exceeded
mulitplexer..." message). Seems surprising they'd go to all that
trouble to create such a great editing program, but not have any way
to create usable output from the material it generates). I'm still
hunting for a way around this. Any hints would be appreciated.
But in the meantime, I am attempting to go around the problem by
uploading the mpeg files to a remote site with a better DVD burning
system. However, they seem to want the files converted to either an
.iso file or what they are calling a _TS file. This is supposed to be
"simple" to do, but I have no clue about how to accomplish this.
Neither the Premeire 6.5 manual nor the help files mention this. Any
assistance would be much appreciated.
