having probs with mf3 burning disc

[eagle34]

I have just installed mf3 on p4 computer with pioneer a07 dvd burner. I edit using adobe prem 6.0. with a matrox rt2500 card. I had been using dvdit to burn dvds but wanted ac3 audio to save space. what format do I need to export to from premiere to import into mf3 and burn dvds? I used to export in mpeg2 ibp setting. Will this work in mf3 or should I be exporting different format?

Export the video from Premier creating a Mpg2 dvd compliant file.
Export either pcm or mpeg audio. MF3 handles Mpeg audio.

When using MF3 make sure "Do Not Convert Mpeg2 Compliant files"
is checked.
In MF3 create a template and assign that template as the project properties.
When creating the template make the parameters exactly the same as
the source material with exception to the audio because you want to
change that to dolby.

Hope this helps,

premeire only has an 48000hz 16bit setting and the video, I have mpeg 2 I-frame or the mpeg 2 ibp. would I use the I-frame?

[maddrummer3301]

IBP is what to choose to use the standard compression scheme.
I think the other choice is asking for I-Frames only.

You want the audio to be 48khz 16bit stereo.

Aren't you exporting using the "MainConcept" program?
There should be standard templates to use.
Choose the one that references DVD. Usually it may say
Dvd-Mpg2 -> 6000kbs or approx 1 1/2 hr video.
Single or 2-pass VBR.

Adobe lets you use a few ways to output. It depends if your planning on
importing the video and audio into Encore. In other words you can create
true 5.1 audio tracks in Adobe and import them into Encore that will
encode the tracks as 5.1 without changing the audio settings such as
simulated surround sound etc.

Adobe is complicated software. When you output you usually have to
change the output so the audio & video are together which creates a
Mpg2 file. This makes it easy to import the video into another program.
Otherwise it will output 2 streams, 1-video & 1-audio stream. But, that
depends on how many tracks you are outputting.

I know adobe is very complicated.
If you open the help screen and search through the help pages Adobe
has Step-by-Step instructions on how to use the program. They are very
good instructions.

Just a suggestion but it would be much easier to use Ulead VideoStudio7 or 8. Ulead products are easy to learn and remember the program structure.

Adobe takes a very long time to master.

Hope this helps,
