Ok an update

I have managed to convert the premier project using the mpeg converter for dvd in premier but now i have a file which will do nothing it is a powerdvd file?And also a wav file with the sound!

So do i need to convert them in tmpeg?

It all depends on what you created: if it's a DVD MPEG-2 file you should be able to play it in PowerDVD. If you created a DV AVI file (will be much larger than an MPEG), then you can play it in Windows Media Player, for instance. In order to burn it on a DVD you need to create a DVD compliant MPEG-2 file, so you have to convert it, e.g. through TMPGEnc.

The sound should be AC3 or MP2. You need to author (to VOB files) in order to burn a DVD.

Please give more information about what you did and what you intend to do. Read the "DV to DVD" guide to get an idea of the process as a whole.

Thanks for the reply

Ok i don't know what happened but now i have managed to end up with a mpeg file created in tmpeg for dvd so it must be an mpeg-2!

You mention sound files the sound is all part of the mpeg file i think! (it plays ok in windows media) Does seem a litle jumpy though like it is not moving correct too slow then jump and flikers a bit!

Ok now i went to tryand burn to dvd in nero and it says i can not use the file!

What do i need to do next?

First of all you didn't say what your intended target format is. I guess you want to create a DVD.

You should tell us as accurately as you can what your settings were in both Premiere and TMPGEnc, else we can only guess.

Ok

Yes i want to end up with a dvd!

I have now gone by your dv-dvd guide What is avisynth for as never seen that prog before?

What i have now done is to save the edited video file from premier on its own as an avi file,The sound file as a wav file so i got them now.

The i made the Wav file into a ac3 file with ac3machine so that bit is ok i think!

Now with tempeg and the avi file by using the settings you said aboutI used the ES video only setting but then you say in the guide load up DVd (pal).mcf file when i do that it changes from ES video only to system video and audio so i did the rest of the settings as you said anyway then clicked it back to es video before starting (then went to bed)

Now i have got a powerdvd file again not an mpeg-2 is this because of using ES video and not System video?(is it correct)

Also what is Interlace and non-interlace?

And how do i know if its type-1 or type-2

What prog can i download to make the files into dvd burnable files?

I hope this helps as i am starting to give up with it !

Thanks again shane

AviSynth is a frameserver which uses a scripting language to add video filters, etc. You can open an AviSynth script instead of a real AVI file in most applications. There are two forums dedicated to AviSynth alone, read up a little, especially the stickies.

Ok so far.

Now with tempeg and the avi file by using the settings you said aboutI used the ES video only setting but then you say in the guide load up DVd (pal).mcf file when i do that it changes from ES video only to system video and audio so i did the rest of the settings as you said anyway then clicked it back to es video before starting (then went to bed)
Thanks for the hint; I guess I'll have to update the guide to avoid this confusion. Of course you did right in insisting on ES video - else you'd have to demux the program stream again in order to get the ES video.

Now i have got a powerdvd file again not an mpeg-2 is this because of using ES video and not System video?(is it correct)
Your file is marked as a "PowerDVD file" because of its extension m2v. The ES video is an elementary MPEG-2 stream, video only, no audio (you've got the audio in the ac3 file, and you'll mux it later with the video when you create the DVD). This is correct so far.

Also what is Interlace and non-interlace?
You may forgive me that I don't want to explain this in detail, because there are many in-depth explanations and discussion about it in the forums. Interlaced video is made for TVs that display only half a picture (every second line, so-called "fields") at a time. Two fields together make up a whole "frame" (the full picture). Because your DV camcorder shoots every field at a slightly different point in time (1/50 sec difference between two consecutive fields), you'll see artifacts looking like "combs", when you recombine the fields to frames on a progressive (frame based) display. For DVD creation you should keep the interlaced structure and set the encoder accordingly like described in the guide. Clearly: your DV is probably interlaced; if your camcorder had a progressive scan option, you'd know (most camcorders don't). So if you are in doubt, then assume your video is interlaced.

And how do i know if its type-1 or type-2
When you create your edited DV AVI from within Premiere, you somewhere choose whether it should be created as type-1 or type-2 (save options or project options - don't know, I don't have Premiere). If you can open your DV AVI in VirtualDub without a "type-1" warning message popping up, then it's type-2.

What prog can i download to make the files into dvd burnable files?
There are many DVD authoring programs available, e.g. DVDlab or TMPGAuthor. Or you can use IFOEdit's authoring menu, which is really easy to use. Just select your video (m2v or mpv) and your audio (ac3 or mp2) files and let it author the VOB files. Then burn with your favourite application, e.g. Nero supports DVD Video directly in its templates.

I hope this helps as i am starting to give up with it !

It's never a good idea to give up when you're so close from reaching your goal!

Wow - bb should be voted as one of the best moderaters of the year.

I would suggest the trial version of DVDlab for compiling the dvd.

@BICCUS1 - invest a few weeks just reading the posts in the whole forum and pretty soon you will have a good idea of what to do. I read for a year before I even bought my dv-cam. Good luck.

Thanks m8 it worked :)

Top man now i need to add some chapters to it also as i have 6 tapes to put on i will nedd to use three dvds i think but how do i join the parts togeather what prog is best for chapters and joining!

Apart from that you are top man for all the help :)

Thanks shane

[bb]

How to do the chapters depends on the authoring software you use, of course. E.g. in DVDlab it's very easy: you can manually add chapters, and you have an auto-chapters function, too.

About the joining: It's not necessary to join the video. In most authoring programs you can add more than one video to the project, and you can choose to let them play one after another through menu commands or connections, respectively. Just make sure you have the same type of video and audio for the clips, because this is necessary for many authoring apps.
