General Procedure we will follow: Start Encore (Used to burn DVDs) File >New Project (or choose an existing Encore project .ncor extension) Import the mp4 file that we exported from Premiere (Import as timeline, to be precise) note: review: mp4 is a container…just like a zip file can contain different things, an mp4 usually contains a h.264 video (The actual movie)

Getting started Start Adobe Encore Select New Project ( will result in an .ncor extension) (or open existing one)
