Note:
If you are sharing your DVD or Blu-ray Disc with someone from a different country, you may need to burn the disc using a different TV standard.
Typically, video devices (from camcorders to DVD or Blu-ray Disc players) conform to one of two TV standards: NTSC in Japan and North
America, or PAL in most of Europe and the Middle East.
Premiere Elements can create both NTSC and PAL movies, so you can create movies appropriate for your region and other parts of the world.
However, you get the best results if your captured video matches the TV standard to which you plan to export.
NTSC
North America, parts of South America, Japan, the Philippines, Taiwan, South Korea, Guam, Myanmar, and others.
PAL
Europe, the Middle East, and parts of the following continents: Asia, Africa, South America.
Guidelines for successful disc burning
Once the movie includes the editing and navigation you want, the burning process is fairly straightforward. However, incompatible devices and
media, or unexpected time factors can affect quality and completion. For a successful experience, consider the following guidelines when burning
discs.
If encoding errors occur, consult the Troubleshooting section in Help.
Allow enough time. Encoding video and audio for a disc can take hours. Consider burning overnight. If you plan to burn several DVDs or Blu-
ray Discs, burn them in the same session by using the Copies option in the Burn dialog box so that you encode the project only once.
Update drivers and firmware. Make sure that you have installed the latest drivers and firmware (software contained in a read-only device
(ROM), which has instructions for controlling the operation of peripheral devices) for your burner. You can download updates from the
Internet.
Choose a compatible burner. To make a DVD or Blu-ray Disc in Premiere Elements, you must have a compatible burner. First, make sure
your system has a burner, not just a CD-ROM, CD-R, DVD-ROM drive, or Blu-ray drive. Then, check to see if the drive is compatible with
Premiere Elements by looking for it in the Burner Location menu after you choose Disc from the Publish And Share panel.
When burning a DVD, choose quality DVD recordable media and a compatible DVD media format. Not all DVD burners and DVD players
support all types of DVDs. However, you can’t burn the DVD unless your DVD burner supports the format of the disc. For example, a burner
that supports only +R or +RW discs doesn’t burn to -R or -RW discs. The same is true for DVD players. Many older DVD players might not
recognize some rewritable discs created on a newer DVD burner.
Provide plenty of defragmented, free hard disk space. You must have enough available hard disk space to accommodate the complete
compressed files, as well as any scratch files created during export. The space requirements for your project appear in the Burn dialog box.
Avoid making unnecessary previews. Previews of your Quick view timeline or Expert view timeline are useful for checking how your finished
movie looks and plays, but they take time to create and are not used in the burning process.
Test your discs. If you make a mistake with a recordable disc, you must use another disc; whereas if you make a mistake with a rewritable
disc, you can reuse it. For this reason, consider using a DVD-RW or BD-RE (rewritable) disc for making test discs and then switching to a
DVD-R General Use disc or BD-R disc for final or extra copies. DVD-R for General Use is write-once recordable format that provides
excellent compatibility with both stand-alone DVD players and DVD-ROM drives.
Avoid running nonessential computer tasks during export. Turn off screen savers and power savers. Avoid scanning for viruses, downloading
updates, searching on the web, playing computer games, and so on.
