For your DVD to look good, you have to have a good encoder. Push button
systems where you just import your AVI and let the program encode are no
good.
If you have Premiere 6.5, it comes with an MPEG-2 encoder that will do a
much better job for you. If you have an earlier version of Premiere, you'll
have to get a good quality MPEG-2 encoder. For PC, I would suggest Canopus
Procoder but that will cost you about $700.
If you can then import these files into power producer rather than letting
it encode, you can still use it as your authoring program. If you can't
import your encoded files with it, you'll need a new authoring program. It
should allow you to import but I have no idea.
