Can’t place more than one movie on a DVD
If you want to place multiple movies on a DVD, you need to create a single project with all of the movie clips assembled
on the Timeline. You can then add main menu markers and stop markers to divide the clips into separate movies, and
you can create a disc menu to navigate the movies. If disc space is an issue on the disc you create, consider these
options:
•
Reduce the bitrate of source files. Keep in mind, however, that reducing the bitrate can also adversely affect the
playback quality of the movie.
•
Use a dual layer DVD disc to accommodate up to 8.5 GB of data.

Encoding error occurs when burning to DVD
If an encoding error occurs when you try to burn a movie to DVD, make sure that the amount of free disk space is two
to three times the size of the final movie. Also, disable any third-party utilities that can interfere with the burning
process, such as screen savers, firewall software, and antivirus software, and disable any power saving settings.
If the error still occurs, try these suggestions:
•
Export the movie as a DV/AVI file, import the DV/AVI file into Adobe Premiere Elements, and then export it to disc.
•
Export the movie as a disc folder and use a third-party burning utility to copy it to disc. (See “
