Hello,

Can anyone point me to forums that are dedicated to capturing DV, editing it and burning it to DVD-R?

Searching for 'DV' is too small a term. If I should search differently, please let me know.

I have a Panasonic DV Camcorder and I can get the DV to hard drive via Adobe Premiere. What next?

Thanks as always,
KeithXP

2 options - you need either an mpeg2 plugin for premiere (cce, panasonic etc) or an standalone mpeg2 program. If stand alone, export from premiere as an avi and use the program to convert to mpeg2. You can then use that file in dvd workshop or the like. Plugin better since you don't have to fill your disk with the intermediate AVI. In any event, mpeg2 is your goal.

Thanks SquareEyes,

I read a couple of posts that mention that video quality sucks from DV to DVD-R. Is this because of the conversions to .avi then mpeg2, etc. etc. or just the coverters used? I'm assuming using CCE, I don't have to worry about quality.
