No More Encore
Colin, Well I have updated a few things installed Encore, took a few days to get my head around it!! Maybe a good program for some but it takes to long to transcribe and burn a simple 10 minute DVD, then to discover after doing this I could not add another Video to the disc.
But here’s the good news a pal of mine had a DVD recorder with the fire-wire input so I was back to doing it my old way. So simple just edit your video save it. Plug in the fire-wire lead into the DVD recorder with a +RW disc .Set the hi quality 1 hour setting, press record on this recorder. Simply press the space bar in Adobe 6.5 and it records a perfect DVD in real time no time spent transcribing, no project rendering and so easy to add another short DVD on the same disc in fact I have jus put 7 short DVDs onto the same disc, Which is what I need for my projects.
So -
NO MORE ENCORE for me, it’s back to the simple 10 year old technology. I simply can’t understand why today’s applications are so complicated and take so long to burn DVD’s
So thanks for all the useful feedback etc.

Is your Premiere 6.5 still OK at producing MPEG 2 files?
If it is then there are free DVD authoring software out there that you could use, I cannot advise on any in particular as I do not use any other than Encore.
DVD produced on PC's today are generally very reliable, but I assume that your PC is old as you are still using 6.5 then the firmware on your burner may not be up to it.
A new IDE drive will be hard to find but if you can it is only going to costs c£25, they are very easy to fit, it is just a case of swapping over like for like.
