You used to be able to do it in CS2 but they got rid of Premiere's ability to make DVDs when they started bundling Encore with in in the CS3 release. To do it now you have to jump into Encore.</p> <p>1: Choose File&gt;Export&gt;Export to Encore</p> <p>2: In the dialog box that pops up you chan choose to make a first play dvd with no menus.</p> <p>3: When you export it, the project with render out and then open Encore DVD.

All the bugs have not been worked out of the software, and many of these companies depend on feedback from those who download the software and run into problems using it. The company then takes this feedback and supposedly corrects bugs, or fixes/improves elements before the final release.</p> <p>Sometimes companies simply do a commercial release KNOWING there will be bugs and issues, then when the complaints start rolling in they do various fixes, usually available for download, along the way. Or pull it and start all over. I am Mac centric, but in reading stuff I understand VISTA had/has some issues along the way, to the extent that some people even went back an operating system generation until things with VISTA settled (they hoped) out.</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/premier-elements-4-vob-importing-problems#post-40994 Mon, 27 Oct 2008 07:31:19 +0000 leptig 40994@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> I am having problems importing VOB files into Elements 4, when I do manage it the imported file is just a green fronted file that does nothing.
