Problems with importing Adobe Premiere files

prince25 wrote on 3/9/2018, 6:28 AM

Hi,
Adobe Premiere exports files codec .h264 with container .m4v.
How can I import them into DVD Architect without having to re-transcode them?
Can I edit extension.m4v to .mp4 without errors?
Thank you

Are you trying to create a DVD or a BluRay? They are very different file formats and resolutions.

And, no. I wouldn't recommend merely changing the file suffix. It's best to give DVD Architect a file optimized for disc creation.

I'm talking about .m4v containers then of H264 files.

I think the only way to go to avoid re-encoding in DVD Architect is to let Vegas Pro do the encoding and use one of the blu-ray disc render presets.

Which version of Premiere Elements are you using? Premiere Elements can create DVD-ready and BluRay-ready video and audio files --- although the latest version of Premiere Elements (version 2018) is not able to create BluRay files that don't need to be re-encoded.
