Hi there, I'm new!!! Please can I have some advice...

I have a 300MB Mpeg file. In premiere I am putting a new soundtrack over the top of it and then re-writing the file.

However, If I save it as an avi file I get a lot of lines running though the picture when there is fast movement.

When I save it as .mov the picture is fine but it is 5GB in size.

What settings do you use when working with an mpeg in Premiere? Do you export it as an avi? mov?

Once encoded the file will then be written to a DVD, so I suppose mpeg>AVI>mpeg isn't doing it any favours.

I haven't done a lot of authoring, but why not keep it in MPeg-2 and use TmpgEnc DVD Author to encode it into DVD, then either burn to DVD+R/DL or shrink it to DVD-5 and burn to DVD-/+R?

Hi,

OK so I have downloaded the program you said about from the website. However I can't seem to find out how to put the new audio over the top of it. For start it won't take MP3 or WAV files. Any ideas?

You can take the AVI file you made that plays okay, and follow Lt. Columbo's Guide to convert it from AVI to DVD. This should do it for you.

tmpgenc plus will. i'd just encode it using a seperate audio track as the source. then author it. this 300MB mpg is an mpeg-1 file? what is the framerate?
