Checked out the copywrite issue. Do not see any options for this as part of the Premire DVD authoring tool, so doubt that is the cause. In burning DVDs in the past on Premire I don't recall ever having to make such a choice.

After giving this issue several hours of time and becoming quite frustrated, I purchased Nero 7 Premium to see if it would make the DVD. The Nero program ran smooth and fast, and did the job! I was amazed at how much faster it transcoded and recorded the DVD, all without any problems. Probably the Adobe Encore product would do the same. Still not sure what my DVD authoring problem is with Premire, but will quit pursuing a solution because I seem to have found the solution with Nero 7. Thanks to all who fetted over this on my behalf!
