  questions about using .mpg file

  Posted by Russ on May 4, 2005 at 4:45 pm

  I need to make a dvd out of a .mpg file. When I drop the clip into Premiere 6.5, the audio plays fine but the image seems to play at a lower frame rate in the preview window. This is the same no matter what i export to as well. Do i need to convert the file back to .avi before rendering to dvd in Premiere?

  Here’s the file specs:

  Size: 55.47Mb
  Duration: 3min 36sec
  Average Data Rate: 262.66KB/second
  Image Size: 320×480
  Pixel Depth: 0 bits
  Frame Rate: 29.97 fps

  Audio: 44100 Hz – 16 bit – stereo

  Thanks,
  -Russ

  It would be better if you could convert your clips to 720*480 AVI files for better editing. MPG files are not meant to be edited and Premiere does not handle them that well either.

  ya, what he said. There are a number of programs if you search online that will let you do this, it was a while ago, but i eventually found a free one

  Thanks guys for the replies. I wound up pulling out virtual dub and it did the trick.

  Thanks again,
