Rescan Click to make Adobe Premiere Pro check all connected DVD writers for valid
media. The Export To DVD command detects only burners that are connected and turned
on at the time you launched Adobe Premiere Pro. If you connected and turned on any
burners after that point, they are not recognized until you click Cancel, restart Adobe

Number of Copies Enter the number of times you want to write the DVD program during
this session. As each disc is completed, Adobe Premiere Pro will ask you to insert another
disc until all of the discs you specified have been written.
Burner Status Ready indicates that Adobe Premiere Pro can write a DVD to the disc in
the
selected burner. None Detected means that no DVD drives are recognized; check
connections
and click Rescan. Unrecognized Disc means the drive may contain a disc that is not a
DVD. Disc Full means the disc in the drive doesn’t have enough space to write the
sequence you selected.
Record Options By default, the Record option is selected, which will write a DVD when
you click Record. Test Only simulates DVD writing but doesn’t write an actual DVD, in
case
you want to check the media for errors. Test And Record runs the test and then writes a
DVD if there aren’t any errors during the test.
Requirements for DVD output
All DVD content is compressed according to narrowly defined specifications so that it will
play reliably on a wide range of players. When preparing footage for a DVD project, pay
special attention to frame size and frame rate, so that the footage items retain their quality
in the transition to DVD.
This transition is called transcoding and is controlled by Adobe Premiere Pro using presets
in the Adobe Media Encoder. When you use the Export To DVD command (see “Exporting
to DVD” on page 289), you can choose from presets already optimized for DVD output.
Preparing video content for DVD
For best results, make sure you capture or record your video following these
specifications:
• Frame size: NTSC standard 720 x 480 or the PAL standard 720 x 576. If your project
uses
a different frame size, Export To DVD scales it automatically.
• Frame rate: 29.97 fps (NTSC) or 25 fps (PAL). All video footage in a single project must
be
of the same frame rate.
• Aspect ratio: 4:3 or 16:9 (widescreen).
Preparing audio content for DVD
For best results, make sure you capture or record your audio following these
specifications:
• Audio bit depth: 16 bits.
• Audio sample rate: 48 kHz.
Activating the MPEG encoder
MPEG (Motion Picture Experts Group) encoding is widely used in standards for digital
video content. Adobe Premiere Pro includes the Main Concept MPEG Encoder. The first
time you use a feature that requires this encoder, you will be presented with a dialog box
