Exporting from Adobe Premiere Pro?

[Mikey Gribble]

I have some video I have to send in for a tv show. It is basically an extended highlight clip that is about 40 minutes long. I tried to export this to a data cd, but the file size is massive 6.4GB and it won't fit on the cd. I tried zipping it and it only compressed it to 5.6GB. I was going to export it to a dvd, but it always seems like the quality drops off when I do that. I basically don't know what to do hear and I need to ship the video tomorrow. If I go to a dvd what is the best format to use? Any ideas on how to get this on a cd or any other possible way of saving this video to something please let me know. I am desperate here.

Upload your video as an AVI file then export it back to a blank mini dv tape...DVD's only have a 4.7 GB capacity...

You could try splitting the files into 2, then just put your DVD in, and open it...and then drag the file over to the DVD. Then do it again for the second one. Make sure you hit "make compatible" at the end of burning it, so it's compatible with other computers. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the help Dick. I don't know what in the hell I was thinking. I've exported to mini dv before. The only problem is that my camera is about shot, so the quality kind of sucks. I tried cleaning the head, but that didn't help. Anyways, I got it copied over so it's a done deal now. I'm just glad it's over with. thanks again
