Down convert in the cam, read the cam’s manual it will give you the DV out format options

When importing DV from a camcorder you are transfering digital data from the tape, there is no way to touch it up till its in the computer, then you use the NLE to correct the footage, best way is too setup the cam properly when shooting to get the best footage out.

[Vin2000] “i’m viewing it on widescreen… i tried it in the dvd player on the TV, on the laptop, and a different one. I keep getting this big black border around the image.”
Where did you get your source footage from?
What it sounds like is you have letterboxed 4:3(0.9) footage that you are putting into a 16:9(1.2) project, all DV AVI footage whether 4:3 or 16:9 is 720×480 just the pixel aspect ratio is different. -
[Vin2000] “ntsc widescreen 16:9 7mb high quality, cbr 1 pass, then once it’s done, and i put it in a dvd player, the end result isn’t widescreen. my actual film footage appears as if it’s 4:3, as a box,”
What are you viewing it on? if widescreen have you set the DVD player for the proper format in the settings?
[Vin2000] “some of my footage has a little black bar on the left or right screen, like 2/10th of an inch. is there any way i can crop that? i remember when i was exporting there was a crop option, but when i would crop it, it would crop part of the image and have more black space, i want to do the opposite!”
Cropping is the procedure to remove part of the image, you want to stretch the image a bit

[adphunting] “So I downloaded avsmedia tools to convert that file from .ifo to .avi.”
.avi is a generic term, it can be divx, xvid, etc, which don’t work too good in Premiere, you have to convert it to DV AVI type2.

You are confusing the software Key (on the CD like Perry mentioned) with the software activation key which has to be generated from Adobe either over the phone or internet when ever the software’s enviroment is changed even if just cloning a drive.

[PoppieJim] “Is that just the nature of the beast trying to create video on a pc with Premiere?”
No, its the nature of video, Standard Defination video whether 4:3 or 16:9 has a standard pixel matrix which is 720×480 pixels(NTSC)(just pixel aspect ratio is different) no matter what physical size the video playback monitor, computer monitors can be worse for example if you have a 19″ monitor(1280×1024) and you make a video frame full screen you are stretching 720×480 to 1280×1024 without proper scaling, its going to look like crap, even with scaling its not going to look its best, video is best previewed on a external video monitor at the proper(optimum) viewing distance for the size of the monitor, also take into consideration that video is basically action orientated, anytime you freeze a frame on a TV you will notice the apparent resolution seems to drop.
