As source quality of the "Ztour" is not very good, the quality of the output will also be low.

Step 1:

First open the Ztour project within Adobe Premiere.

Step 2:

Select File->Export Timeline->Movie

Step 3:

This will bring up the Export Movie window. Press Settings

Step 4:

Select the Video Server Plugin. If this is the first time that you are using the plugin click on "Advanced Settings". It is normal that you get an CRC error the first time that you use the plugin. If everything is correctly it should detect that your are using Adobe Premiere and will load the default settings for it. If you are not sure if you are using the right settings please verify them.

Step 5:

Because your source material (Ztour sample file has a lower resolution than VCD)  has not the correct resolution for VCD, premiere can scale it to the right format. Because we are going to create an PAL VCD it is recommended that you set the Frame Size to 352x288 and the frame rate to 25 fps. When you are done with this click on the OK button.

Step 6:

Now we are ready to start exporting. When you click on the save button, the plugin starts and creates the IPCserver.AVI. Please note that the filename that you enter in the Export Movie window is not the file that is written to disc. (For specialists: it is the PIPEname to communicate to the Encoder).

When everything went O.K. you will see the plugin window. DO NOT CLOSE THIS WINDOW.  Now you can open the IPCserver.AVI in TMPGenc and start encoding.

Step 7:

The plugin is now serving and the file IPCserver.AVI is written to disc. Because we are going to encode this project as a VCD we load the PAL profile in TMPGEnc.

Step 8:

Open the IPCserver.AVI file in TMPGenc and press Start. Now the codec(client) will connect to the plugin (server) and reads the data from Premiere instead of the a file. When TMPGenc is ready with encoding, you can play the IPCserver.MPG file in the media player or on a normal DVD player (when burned properly on CD-R)
