    Hey,

    Some friends and I created a movie using a digital camera and adobe premiere 6.0. We would like to put it on a DVD to play on a standalone DVD player so we can enter it into the film festival. I can use either a divx or .avi file version of it to burn. Also, I would like to be able to add menus and possibly a "special features" section to include a small trailer. Is this possible? I have DVDshrink and DVDdecrypter.

    First and foremost I am concerned with adding it to a DVD. The menus are more of a frosting on the cake thing.

    Thanks

    If you use Render your Adobe Premier Project as a Mpeg-2 File at 720+480 with a Bitrate of about 6000kbs then all you would need is a DVD Authoring Program to add your Menu"s and Chapters and any special Features you wanted and then the DVD Authoring Program will format it all and Burn it to DVD for you.....

    You Could also render your Adobe Premier Project as a 720+480 AVI file (Useing a Low compression Format Like DV AVI or Uncompressed AVI or HuffYUV Not DivX because DivX is very Lossy) and then use a Standalone encoder Like Tmpgenc to encode the AVI file to Mpeg-2 and then add your Menu"s and Chapters and Burn the DVD with a DVD authoring program Like "MediaChance DVDLab Pro" .......

    If you don"t want to learn a bunch of new Program and would rather get it all done in One Program you can use an "all In One" DVD authoring program like "Ulead DVD Movie Factory 4.0" or "Sonic MyDVD 6" and there are many others...

    The encodeing Quality isn"t as good as some standalone encoders and they don"t have as Many Menu features but overall they get the Job done and are easy to use with only a Modest sacrifice in quality .......

    Cheers
