I used the CS4 encoder and exported a project using Jeff Bellune's recommendations to get a very high quality DVD.
It resulted in two separate files. Video file is .m2v and audio file is .wav

Looks great when I view it using Windows Media Player, but the files are separate.
How do I get these two files together to burn a DVD?? Can I do that with ImgBurn or Nero, or Roxio ??

Tom,

On export you set multiplexing on (one file) or off (two files). Encore likes elementary streams (two files) better than multiplexed transport streams.

Thanks Harm. Even though you don't know it, you have helped me out with many things several times in the past.
You must be a very patient fellow.

I need a little more help with this. I exported "Media" using the Cs4 encoder.
I have not used Encore.. yet.

In the encoder and looking at "Basic Settings", "Multiplexing" I see two choices :

Either: " DVD " or " None " I believe I picked DVD. I don't see a choice of "On" or "Off"........ maybe that's "understood" ??

OK I just used Dynamic Link and took my project to Encore and I don't seem to have the vast choices I did with the media encoder. I don't see "Multiplexing" in Encore. ?????????

Thanks again, Tom B.

Tom,

I no longer have CS4 installed, but here is where you set multiplexing on or off in CS5.

That does answer my question. As a former teacher, all I can say is: You get an A+ for the day. :)
thanks again

And if you take your Premiere timeline into Encore using Dynamic Link, you do not need to worry about the multiplexing setting.

That is always a dilemma, do you go for the 'Quick-and-Dirty' approach of DL'íng to Encore, or do you choose your own encoding settings. Personally, I prefer the manual settings in AME, but for the most important reason of all, that only AME allows 5.1 AC3 if you have the Minnetonka SurCode plug-in. DL is limited to stereo AC3.

I don't have the SurCode yet, but is good know. Thanks again, Harm.
