Creating Dvds For Different Regions; To Burn A Dvd Disc, Or Save To A Dvd Folder Or Iso Image - Adobe PREMIERE PRO 2 Manual

If your DVD burner is not compatible with Adobe Premiere Pro, you can burn the project to a folder, which allows
you to use the software included with the burner to burn the final DVD. (See "To burn a DVD disc, or save to a DVD
folder or ISO image" on page 415.)

Creating DVDs for different regions

If you are sharing your DVD with someone from a different country, you may need to burn the DVD using a different
television standard. In most of the world, DV devices (from camcorders to TV monitors) conform to one of two
television standards: NTSC or PAL. The standard varies depending on the region. Most DVD players can play only
DVDs that match their television standard. The television standard in Japan and North America is NTSC, while most
of Europe and the Middle East uses the PAL standard.
Adobe Premiere Pro can create both NTSC and PAL DVDs. While you get the best results when the project settings,
the video, and the DVD you burn all conform to the same television standard, you can easily convert a project when
you burn the DVD. In this way, you can create DVDs appropriate for your region as well as for other parts of the
world.

To burn a DVD disc, or save to a DVD folder or ISO image

After you preview the DVD and are satisfied that it is complete, you are ready to burn the project to a DVD disc.
Make sure that the DVD disc you've selected is compatible with both your DVD burner and with the DVD player in
which you plan to play the DVD. Also, be aware that you must have enough available hard disk space to accom-
modate the complete compressed DVD files, as well as any scratch files created during export.
The DVD-video format requires MPEG2 compression. Depending on the complexity and length of the project and
your computer, compressing video and audio for a DVD can take hours. If you plan to burn several DVDs, you can
save time by burning them in the same session. In this way, you compress the project only once.
Note: If your DVD burner isn't compatible, you can burn the project to an ISO image or a folder instead. Then, using
the software utility included with the DVD burner, you can burn the final DVD.
