Basically Premiere is the semi-pro software and Pinnacle is home user quality. If Pinnacle can do everything you need from it go ahead, but if you want more control (i.e. power-user/semi-pro) then use Premiere, export to avi or something similar and then write to VCD/SVCD. I know Nero writes VCD/SVCDs from almost any kind of video file, it just recompresses them.(posted 7665 days ago)
