  what is the best (codec) format for premiere besides uncompressed

  Posted by Elliot Perkins on September 9, 2009 at 3:50 am

  I have alot of videos that are apparently in xvid or dvix form and premiere wont accept them.
  I am willing to convert them first but I want to know the best codec that premiere will accept.
  I have tried to do mp4 but premiere opens them EXTREMELY slowly and sometimes crashes.

  I dont want to do uncompressed because i dont have the disk space for that, and the videos i want to edit are over an hour each.

  so i would like to know

  1. what codec to choose. besides uncompressed – just the next best thing for example.
  2. what software is best used to convert a video into that format fast and with good quality.

  I have procoder, avs converter, nero, cinema craft, and premieres encoder.
