Watching MPEG2 files on TV

Is there a simple way of being able to the view the edited video files on a HDTV? I have a MPEG-2 file that I edited and put on Youtube, how could I take this file and view on it on a TV?

Thanks,

Sean

Not sure what computer or software you are using, but MPEG-2 are used to make DVDs (the M2V without audio transport streams) Many ways of doing it, from making it Apple TV compatible or a format that is something that many DVD players play, such as WMV or AVI for instance, but just putting a data/video disc type thing into the player. You can even put it on your iPod and plug that in.

If you can fill in some of the blanks as to what you have at your disposal, the answer maybe easier to give. Otherwise, many options and workflows are out there.....

I am using Adobe Premiere. I want to be able to take that file and put it on a DVD so others can see the work as well. How can I do this in Premiere? I have try to encode it as a MPEG-2 Dvd file. I then burn the file to a disc but when I try to put it in the DVD player it does not work.

Sounds like you are just encoding a m2v file from a timeline and burning to a DVD-R/+R? If that is the case it is not making a DVD as we all normally think of a DVD (like Blockbuster Rentals) If it is the flavor of MPEG-2 with Audio it may play on some DVD players that have that capability (i.e., some form of data disc) but you really want to make a DVD DVD...

Here is a quick tutorial on the workflow

Premiere/Encore

I did not look at it all, so not sure how good it is or not. Let me know. I can whip up something if you need it if that one does not work for you. Just not right in front of my computer with Premiere at the moment, though can grab it in a couple of moments. I work on Macs but the same general flow will apply.
