i should also add i tried exporting to dvd but that failed

Presumably you have Premiere. What version?

Premiere will not burn a DVD for you -- you will need additional software for that. Do you have something already in mind?

Cheers,


Edward

i have pro, the help thingy said just to export it to dvd, but fails while transponding, i read the other artical and have updates what it said and have installed mainconcept(demo version) but still failed while transponding, but converting the avi movie i exported into an mpeg and will look at buring that, i have recordnow(but hate it)that came with the dvd writer thinking of getting nero, although i saw some where mydvd also works???

Oh, I've never used that option before. Never even noticed it. Usually, I export as uncompressed AVI files and then let my DVD design software do the encoding.

I tried to find an export-to-DVD-MPEG-stream preset, but there appears to not be one. I can't even chooe MPEG as an output type. This seems really odd.

yea i have exported as an avi i and now have converted it to a mpeg which got it down to a size to fit on a dvd now just have to get some decent software that will allow it to be burnt as a movie as the programme that come with the burner wont(seams a bit stupid in this day in age) prob will get Nero as had that with my old comp and liked it

I use DVDLab to burn - it's not as user friendly as other software, but gives you a lot of flexibility in design.

Oh, I've found DVDLab to be very easy to use and surprisingly powerful.

Following the tutorial was a snap. I went from download to starting-a-successful-burn in about fifteen minutes.

Cheers,

Compared to other DVD burning software, DVDLab is not as user-friendly. They also lack a user's manual that can be downloaded in one complete shot. But it has powerful design options I haven't found in other software packages. It's my #1 choice.
