Premiere can be a bit fussy when it comes to avi and audio. Sequence settings should match footage.
What are you capturing, analog footage? The resolution is a bit odd, it should be 720×480.
Can you upload an image of Gspot.

I think its a bug in Premiere.

[Ann Bens]

Mine does too. No solution.
After a while i do not notice it anymore.

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

I do not understand where this 1024×576 is coming from?
Not from the camera nor is it suited for dvd.

As you cannot register you can still read the Matrox Forum. When building a new machine i would leave the rtx2 out. Imo waist of money. How many of the Matrox effects do you really use? I have a i7/940 12 gig ram. I edit HDV like dv, no preview rendering for Magic Bullet Looks, and that counts for something.
CS5 will be coming along and who knows the rtx2 will still be supported.

You can easily test this. Make some titles in a non Matrox project and see if you have the same issue, if not it is Matrox.
Have you installed all the updates for the Matrox? Probably not.
Contact Matrox and tell them your situation.

You are quite right all avi compressions are rubbish, it Microsoft DV-avi you want.

Dont open the Elements project with Premiere, import it into Premiere.
