Hello everyone. I have a question concerning Adobe Premiere Pro CS5. I recently purchased a Canon Rebel T2i and I am making a 60 second video for an application to the advertising program at my college. I am new Adobe Premiere CS5 and I wanted to know what would be the best export settings to put a one-minute video on a DVD. I assume since it is only a minute long that I could do the highest quality available. Any help from somebody that has experience working with DSLR footage in Premiere Pro CS5 would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Are you authoring the video to DVD or is it going to be just a file on the dvd. If you have Adobe Encore I would recommend using the Adobe Dynamic Link function to import your timeline into Encore. What software do you intend to use to burn the video to DVD?

Sorry I didn't clarify that. I will be authoring the final product to DVD. I am a MacBook Pro user so in terms of software to burn the DVD I have Toast Titanium. I suppose that I would use that unless there is something better out there.

Im a T2 user too, excuse me if my english is not so good.
Usually I work with AVID Media Composer, but before that I was a Premiere Pro CS4 user.

First, make sure your imput adjustments are same as cámera adjustments.
For example, usually I used a FULL HD, (1920 x 1080p at 24 fps), in this case you must chose an HDV > HDV 1080p24 in sequence adjustments.

Now, make you´re edition and go to export adjusments using Adobe Media Encoder, go to FILE > EXPORT > MEDIA.
In my experience the best result I have is a MPEG2 export, converting this after into a MOV video, but this is a little different in each PC. For make a MPEG2 export you must do the steps below.

1. When Media Encoder opens, must choose MPEG2.
2. Then, chose HDTV High Quality 1080p 24
3. Go to VIDEO tab and grow up quality bar to 5.
Its all. You must have a MPEG2 video, and you can pass to DVD disc with a DVD converter. I recommend a "ConvertxToDvd 4".

4. If you want you may change other adjustments.

simply choose FILE > EXPORT > MEDIA and there is a profile for DVDs in the Media Encoder
What Alejandro writes about HD Quality is wrong. A normal DVD is always SD quality.

(For NTSC 720x480 and PAL 720x576.)

If anybody wants to see the video I made I just uploaded it. vimeo.com/groups/8432/videos/18804061.

i just downloaded some t2 videos to my pc. they are all .mov

when i open them in adobe premiere pro cs5 they work ok, kind of slow but ok

the issue is that when i export the movie, i get some color loss, image seems to loose some contrast

does anybody know an export codec so i dont loose quality and i also dont get a very large file
????

this is very eazy for DVD, but for export H264?
