Baffled! Why must PremPro render DV-conform file???
Greetings,
this one has got me stumped. I recieved DV-material transfered from Digi-Beta via SDI… the files look and behave like PERFECTLY normal DV-Pal as they should… UNTIL the file is inserted into a PremPro project.Premiere shows the timeline with that deadly red stripe, as if the material was NOT DV and requires rendering no matter what!
So of course I checked the project settings 50x and then checked all info about the file: pixel depth rate, audio sample rate etc. etc. EVERYTHING is just as it should be for a DV-Pal file and for a DV-Project.So what does Premiere KNOW that I don’t know? (or what does Premiere know that it won’t TELL me) and WHY-OOH-WHY does Premiere demand to render this file even in its native state?
Anybody got an idea, suggestion?
thanks and
cheers! -

There are two types of DV-AVI files Type1, and Type2, you are probably receiving type1 files.

Hmmmmm this suggestion surprises me… Aren’t Type2-avis the system of having two files, audio + video separately? I always thought this was just an exotic Matrox/Ulead-kind-of-speiciality that normal humans didn’t deal with…
Or are type-2 video files also wrapped like type-1 as one file? How can I tell which type I am dealing with? Neither GSpot nor Procoder is telling me anything in this regard…
So PPro prefers only Type2 Video files?

Dear BLAST,
hats off to you… your comment was right-on-target! The problem was just as you suspected…and I thought I knew a hell of alot about codecs but this one was new to me…I converted the avi with a freeware tool from type-1 to type-2 (still not knowing which one I had) and viol

[ninetto] “But now another query: does that mean that when Premiere is dealing with Type-1 it is automatically doing the same thing as the freeware conversion tool: i.e. converting without loss only the way audio/video are interlaced?”
DV-AVI Type-II contains a second redundant audio track for compatiblity with older programs that use the “Video For Windows” programming interfaces, Sometimes quoted as DirectShow type2
DV-AVI Type-I is essentially an exact copy of the data from the mini-DV tape wrapped in an AVI file, DirectShow type1
Here is a couple of references about this:

There is also a reference to AVI type1 and AVI type2 so don’t confuse yourself with them, AVI Type1 usually refered to a old “Video for Windows”(VFW) codec which had a separate audio stream but had file size limits.
AVI Type2 refers to DirectShow DV AVI type1/2 -
