    hi there. for those of you that remember the days of premiere version 6. im trying to render out an uncompressed avi of an old project from years ago so i can convert it into different formats. i understand all the settings.. but i do not understand the ‘recompress’ check box, that is available in the export settings. what is it, and what does it do. should i have it on or off.

    any illumiantion would be fantastic

    Here is what I was able to find:

    Recompress
    Ensures that Adobe Premiere exports a video file that is under the data rate you specified. Always compresses every frame even if it is already within the data rate. Maintain Data Rate preserves quality by compressing only the frames that are above the specified data rate. Recompressing previously compressed frames may degrade picture quality. Deselect Recompress to prevent current compression settings from being applied to clips that were not altered when you edited them into the program.

    Just turn it of, you do not need/want recompression.
