P6.5 mpg-import audio-sync problem
I use a Sony Cybershot digital still camera (DSC-P41/P43) for my films (it’s all I have currently). Before I bought a 2 GB memory stick, according to the manual it recorded in mpeg-1 in “standard” resolution only (imports as “.mpg”). With the 2 GB stick, however, it now films mpeg-1 in “FINE” resolution also.
I was using WMovieMaker just fine for “standard”, but after beginning to use “fine,” WMM began to crash with only 1-2 minutes in the timeline, and took forever to load projects and mpg files.
So I permanently switched to using Premiere 6.5, since, although it seemed to be too heavy of an editor for my PC (with Windows XP Pro 2002 SP2 and an AMD-k7 processor, 698MHz, 640 MB RAM), I discovered it actually handles the files without crashing.
HOWEVER, after rendering to avi, the AUDIO IS +/- 15 FRAMES AHEAD of the video. I’ve tried reading through all the forums, adjusting all settings to match, etc., to no avail. Any suggestions?
2–Although I don’t do any direct captures in Premiere because my camera’s so simple and I just copy its files to a folder in Windows, then import to Premiere, there’s a serious problem with my capture settings windows, settings viewer, etc.
Every time I click on the Premiere capture settings box, the program crashes completely, to the point of having to reboot the pc. I just can’t understand this …
Any words of wisdom are most welcome.
Thanks in advance for taking time to read this.

Although for Premiere Pro, the following links will help you:
FAQ: How do I import xyz format files?

Thank you very much for the links, Eddie. I was obviously looking in the wrong places, and it’s now clear that I need to do a lot more studying than I thought I’d already done. Thanks also for helping so many people all the time here on this excellent site. Don
