Hi; I edit my films in A. Premier. Im trying to burn DVD Video through Nero 6 on a Sony DVD burner. The file I have in premier are Extens. .AVI or .PPJ (this last one when a project is finished) When I try to import files to Nero it says "unsuported format...". Im new on this but it seems I should convert this files to MPEG-2 to make Nero 6 to accept the files and then burn them. Is this true) Where can I find the MPEG-2 software to download?
Thanks for any help on the matter. Jose.

I would suggest you go http://www.ulead.com to download a trial ware version of Video Studio 7. You load your MPEG file into it, select Share-->Create Disk-->DVD. Name your file, and insert your blank DVD. Follow the remaining prompts to let its wizard burn the DVD for you.

I assume you're using Premiere 6 or earlier, which has no real MPEG-2 encoding. You can purchase the Ligos plug-in, or learn to frame-serve to something like TMPGEnc, or use TMPGEnc as a free-standing encoder with finished AVI files (not from the timeline, which is what frame-serving allows). The paid version is quite inexpensive for the quality of export and I think you still get 30 days use of the MPEG-2 encoding before having to register. In Premiere 6.5 you get the Main Concept encoder (now up to version 1.3beta). I've found it to be very good, and far more convenient than having to export the timeline to AVI before encoding outside Premiere. It and the new titler make the upgrade worthwhile, and if you're using a basic firewire card, the realtime preview is handy too.

Hi,

you can upgrade Premiere to Pro for $199 which comes with Adobe Media Encoder and make the DVD right in Premiere Pro, no need for any other software unless you want to add menus, then get Adobe Encore DVD
