If you have access to PremierePro:
- Access the footage via the media browser and bring it into the project.
- String the footage together in the timeline and add the timecode overlay.
- Export directly to MPEG-2 and AC3 via Adobe Media Encoder.
- Burn a simple auto play DVD in DVDSP or Encore.
I've done this (with my 4 year old 8-core mac) and my MPEG-2 encodes are just a little bit faster than real-time (ie: 60 minutes of source in about 50 minutes). For DVDSP, I have a prebuilt text file of markers to drop in a chapter every 1, 2, or 5 minutes. In Encore, right click the timeline to auto-add markers and set the duration.
Alternatively with a robust system and Premiere Pro:
- Access the footage via the media browser and bring it into the project.
- String the footage together in the timeline and add the timecode overlay.
- Playout in real-time to DVD recorder.
Or - farm it out.

I have a client going into a doc shoot. Im going to edit. she wants viewing DVDs for everything they shoot. I understand the need and want to help but for me, this is a huge time suck and there is no money for it. From my experience, you have to load in F3 footage (AMA and transcode) layout a timeline, put in tc generator, render (huge render) and export QT (QT reference won't work with DVD software) and then compress for DVD and burn. Huge time suck.
Is there a service that I can point her to that does this? Maybe you send in the drive and they layoff media to DVD at a reasonable rate?
thanks
