Trouble Exporting Project to Tape and DVD
Okay see here is my problem. At first, I tried buring my project to DVD using NERO Express. When the DVD was played back, the audio was horrible and the video would freeze and jitter every minute or so. So I went back to put the project to a tape so I could burn it on my dad’s computer using Pinnacle, but when I export the video to tape on my computer, it does the same thing it did when it was burned onto DVD. How do I stop this because not being able to burn this project is keeping me from continuing on with my productions. Thanks a lot!!!

Please give a little more info. Codec? If it’s anything like Divx, or Xvid, or most of what comes from the NET, then that’s a problem right there, since Premiere likely doesn’t support it. If you are using a supported Codec such as DV, then you will have to tell us what export settings you are using, etc.
Cheers,

I am pretty sure it is Xvid. How would I know for sure which Codec and have, and…..what is a codec? Haha I am good with compter, just not with the fancy names. Lol. Also, if it is my “codec” would this also cause problems to any device I export it to, such as a DVD, Tape, or even my iPod, because I am having trouble on all three.

You can download a freeware called Gspot. You simply drag the file to it and it will tell you what codec was used, and whether it is installed on your computer.
As I mentioned before, Premiere doesn’t support it. The problem lies in the way it is compressed, which makes editing (and rendering) practically impossible without any considerable further loss of quality.
You can try googling up Xvid to AVI converter, I know there are a few out there. The converted file, assuming it is uncompressed or DV, should then be compatible with premiere.

Oka so I downloaded this Gspot freeware and installed it. I browsed for the file I am having trouble with( it is the exported movie from Premiere) and it says it is a DV Type 2 AVI and under codec it says “dvsd”. is this alright? should i be looking for something else? what should I do now?
-
Well, the one you exported is going to be DV AVI, since Premiere tried to convert it. The one you want to check is the original file.

which file do i check, like the movie i captured from my camera or what?
-
Well, you mentioned you were using what you thought was a Xvid file? This is the one you want to check.
Does the the footage captured from your camera also behave badly on export?

Oh well I don’t know if the file is Xvid. I just knew that I had seen this codec before on my computer so that’s what I thought it was. Okay, let me try stating my problem again. When I complete a project in Premiere, I cannot export the project to a tape because while it exports, it skips and freezes up mulitiple times. So I’ve tried things such as exporting the project to an AVI file, reimporting that file into Premiere and trying to export it to tape, which also fails. This same scenario is treu when I try to burn thr project to a DVD. It skips and freezes. I have exported projects to tapes succesfully before I started using Premiere( I used Moive Maker), but something within Premiere is keeping my projects from being able to be exported to other devices such as DVD, Camera, or iPod, without freezes or skips. I don’t know if the codec is Xvid. Haha is this making any sense?

So, by export, do you mean Firewire, or render? By freezing do you mean the entire application, or just the video.
The reason I ask, is because in there you mentioned camera, DVD, and tape. Tape / camera would be Firewire, DVD would be either Mpeg2 export, or direct burn from Premiere.
BTW, what are your system specs? The requirement for real time in Premiere are much higher that Movie maker.

I mean firewire. I directly export the project to tape from the Premiere program. I had previously tried export the project to an AVI ( or MPEG2 as you state it) onto “my computer” but when it is burned to a DVD, the quality is horrible due to the audio jumping and video jumping and skidding. By freezing, I mean the DVD on which the project is exported to, or the tape to which the project is exported to, when either the tape or the DVD are playbacke, the movie itself on these devices comes out in a kind of jump cutting, freezing, skipping type of jumble that is not the way the movie should be played back. I don’t know how to make that any clearer lol. And my system is fully capable of working with Premiere. am using a SONY VAIO laptop label PCG-FRV27 with an Intel Pentium 4 Processor 2.66GHz, 960 MB of RAM. I am almost sure it is not my computer.
