Create DVDs directly from Adobe Premiere

PixelTools DVDPlug-in for Adobe's Premiere generates DVD files suitable for set-top DVD burners, standard CDR burners, or hard drives on DVD enabled computers. The plug-in also exports MPEG-2, MPEG-1, VCD, and DVD-VOB files from within a Premiere project.

The PixelTools DVDPlug-in is easy to use. Just select one of the six encoding profiles and start the export process. More advanced users have a extensive selection of encoding optimization parameters to choose from, with comprehensive on-line help to answer encoding questions.

The PixelTools DVDPlug-in eliminates the time (and disk space) of rendering an AVI, running the AVI through an MPEG compressor, and transferring the MPEG file to a DVD authoring package. Image re-sizing and cropping can also occur during the single export pass. A variety of MPEG streams can be created out of one Adobe timeline

PixelTools DVDPlug-in generates single chapter auto-play, auto-repeat, DVD disc images, ideal for kiosk displays or corporate presentations. More sophisticated DVD navigation is possible by creating VOB files with DVDPlug-in and using a DVD authoring package to add the desired buttons.

The PixelTools DVDPlug-in incorporates the PixelTools high quality encoding engine used by the Hollywood production studios. And Premiere can provide the filtering, down-sampling, and cropping features to create the best MPEG video quality.
