Unnecessary recompression
Documentation says that if a clip is not changed then Premiere uses original data without recompression. In practice this only works on DV projects. If I use other project type to edit video produced from other source than DV capture (e.g. encoded with one of lossless codec) then Premiere always wants to recompress timeline to render – and draws red line on timeline. Is there way to avoid unnecessary recompression? Tha worked fine in Premiere 6.5 – untouched fragments were not recompressed

If you are working in A DV project (NTSC DV setting), Premiere will recompress everything to DV.
This is mainly due to the the fact that most people want to preview their footage through firewire, and so everything has to be compressed to DV. You can play the timeline using the space bar without recompression, but you will have some issue playing things smoothly.
