I have digitized about 10 minutes of clips and edited them in Adobe Premiere and now want to export as a file I can copy onto a cd. I exported a Quick Time .mov file with 75% quality with JPEG-A compression and ended up with a Quick Time movie of 2.5 gigs, 1 hour export time, and not great quality to boot. Can anyone suggest good preliminary formats for export with file sizes I can put on a cd. My capture card is DV.now and I know those settings are coordinated with Adobe Premiere somehow, but am still at a loss on how to combine all the different formats for good quality and reasonable file size. Thanks for any info.
The video format most commonly used for CD's is probably MPEG-1. The problem is that Premiere on its own does not have the ability to export to MPEG-1. Recently, DV.now and DV.now AV have been bundled with Ligos LSX-MPEG, but if you have an older DV.now, then you would not have got that.
You could buy an additional piece of software to convert to MPEG-1. The most popular ones are Ligos LSX-MPEG, Darim DVMPEG and Terran Cleaner.
Alternatively, you could continue using Quicktime, but select lower quality settings to make the file enough.
