   O.K. I've done all the editing to my project now I want to place the project in Encore DVD to make and the menus and stuff. How do I do that.

   Good News, I just spent the last weekend working with both products. Save the Project as an avi file and then import it into encore as an asset. I'll give you a hint, if you set the markers within Adobe before you export it, they will be imported into adobe. You have to name each marker and DONT use the dvd markers, it's the plain numbered markers. The tools within Encore to set the markers are horrible compared to Premiere. Good luck with your project.

   Excuse me, but exporting/importing AVI is just about the best way to ask Encore to give you headaches!
   
   Export to MPEG2-DVD. This will ensure that everything goes smoothly in Encore.

   Well Hank should know, he's the guru around here, I had no issues with avi but I will try the mpeg route for my next project. It didnt take hardly any time to do the conversion or the import and my files were 60 - 90 minutes in length.
   
   Hank, what are your thoughts on the new encore rolled up into Premiere CS3, hang on to 2.0 for a while or make the move?

   George,
   
   I've fielded problems on other forums, and perhaps this one as well, from people using AVIs in Encore. Sure, it'll work quite often, maybe even most of the time, but there are many problems associated with it, including a/v sync issues. Importing mpeg2 has always solved the problems.
   
   You're asking about upgrading from 2.0 to 3? You're asking ME? X-D
   
   I use PP 2.0, but am still back on 1.5 for Encore and Audition. When it comes to new toys or new software, "new toys" has been winning the battle of the wallet lately.

   Well all of my adobe programs are 2.0 and I exported a hour long video project on avi and it took all day.
   
   Little help :?

   I use a dual core AMD 2.0 gigahertz with 2gig ram and several 3.0 SATA harddrives. The average wedding video is about an hour or a little more and even with lots of effects & transitions, it never takes over four hours to either burn directly to DVD (as we do with preview/beta copies) or to mpeg2-dvd files.

   That may be the key, I have an AMD Dual Core Processor ( I love it!). 4 gb of memory and terrabytes of storage. I have a pristine hard drive with encore 2.0 and premiere pro 2.0 with nothing else on the drive. I'm hungry for any info on the best codecs to use to make the best productions of my hard work. If there is a forum here that you guys can point me to, that would be great. I've been a big reader of the magazine but just started posting. I shoot bodybuilding videos and like a wedding, its a one time shot, you dont get retakes. Also, it's a visual medium so the better the definition I can get, the better the memory that I provide for the customer. I am switching to Mpeg-2's for the next project, I'll take ANY hints to make this job easier.

    Rendering times depend on things other than just the cpu (though that is arguably the biggest factor) and memory. You should have at least three harddrives - one for system and programs and one for video and temp files. If possible put temp files on a third drive. All drives should preferably be SATA 3.0
    
    Again, you should not be spitting out huge AVI files with PP2.0. Export to MPEG2-DVD and import THAT into Encore. But I'm repeating myself now.
    
    2 Gigs of memory is not your problem.

    since PP2.0 requires continuous clips for multi-cam editing, I just had the opportunity to do a couple of 15 minute AVI exports. It took just under four minutes for each 15min AVI, on my computer.
