I will preface this by saying I am still relatively new to DVD authoring and video editing. I have a premiere pro project with source video of 1920x1080 that I am attempting to put on DVD and also on youtube. I don't mind if it letterboxes or not.
Thus far I have been attempting to do it by first exporting the video as an MPEG2 720x480 file and then encoding it to DVD in a program called DVD Flick, but have run into a variety of problems, including stretched or smushed video and audio that is out of sync with the video.
My first try at exporting a youtube worthy video ended with the most horribly smushed video I have ever seen.
I'm hoping someone can give me instructions on how to get from point A (my 1920x1080 resolution and 29.97 fps premiere pro project) to point B (A DVD without smushed video and a file I can upload to youtube).
I'm doing this on a fairly lackluster laptop that can take up to 8 hours to encode my project just once, and I only have a limited number of DVD R's to mess around with, so any help to get this right on the first shot would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: I should add if anyone has any suggestions on DVD authoring software to use I would appreciate it as well.
