I have been running into very troubling issues.
I have completed the project in premiere with three separate sequences (ceremony, reception, trailer).
I have brought those sequences into Adobe Encore to burn the actual content onto DVD.
Unfortunately my imac cannot handle the burn. Image may be NSFW.

It simply does not have the hardware capable of doing such a noble thing (although it claims it does).
I have been working for weeks now trying to just slip by a test burn, but again no matter what method i try i am at a loss. I need to have it done asap and the way i look at it i have two options.
My roommate had a nice big 16gb ramm tower that i believe will be more than adequate to accomplish the said task.
I have an external hard drive of course. So here is first option and question.
1. i will export the media (3 separate sequences) to a mpeg2 file i guess. Bring it to my external hard drive (or EHD lol) and put it on his computer and then use either use his version of encore, or a different burning software (it has to be able to make menus tho). BUT
What should i export the media as? Mpeg2, mpeg2 DVD? nstc whatever? It was shot at 1080p 24fps in a canon dslr. It needs to be good quality of course.
and just incase encore in not available on his computer what burning software would use use? (and yes price is a problem). lol
Option 2.
Take the completed project that in on encore as of right now and just burn it to a DVD folder. Put it on the EHD and bring it to roomies comp and burn it with a dvd burning software. But when i make a folder it comes out as a video_ts file. Being a newb of course i do not know what that even means.
If you where me. What would you do?! Image may be NSFW.
