Successfully burned a dual-layer DVD Movie from source content!

I just got one of those nifty NEC dual-layer 8.5 gig DVD burners and have been struggling with a way to burn a long DVD-video on it.  Adobe Encore DVD 1.5 doesn't yet burn to dual-layer discs, but Nero Burning Rom does.

I used Adobe Premeire Pro 1.5 to create the DNR movie, and with the built in Media Encoder, mixed it down to a .m2v file for DVD video (as well as a single .wav file for audio) Then I imported those items into Encore, added menus and graphics, and saved it as a DVD folder containing all the files required to create a DVD-video. Then I just added those files to a Nero DVD-Video project and it worked!

That said, I'm going to be sending the movie to the manufacturer on a hard drive, because the consumer media is too prone to error. It's still very cool that I could burn it.

That sounds like quite a process to get it on there. When can we expect to see the video?

What about the media? I haven't found any that looks anywhere near affordable. Are the prices dropping or was this an expensive experiment?

Carl,

What company are you using to burn the dvd?

We were looking to do a factory pressed DVD for our site to avoid + and - compatibility issues. We opted to press our own this time around because of the expense. Did you find someone local to do it?

Thanks,
John
