I encode all my 4:3 stuff (for web delivery/client approval) at 512z384 – and crank the bitrate up to 600-1000kbit…makes nice video clips that are 4-7 MB/minute (which is perfectly fine for broadband delivery). Small text is much easier to read with the slight size increase. It has nothing to do with frame-rate (although de-interlacing will have an affect on very small/thin text).

Can I ask what your system(s) specs are? I just can’t seem to find a definitive “it works if you do this/it doesn’t work if you have that” solution. Both Apple and Adobe are silent on this issue.

It means you simply don’t have enough extra frames on the end of the first clip, and/or beginning of the 2nd clip (depending on which clip is giving you the issue)
Your IN and OUT points are placed too close to the front and end of a captured clip. Next time, capture with handles (extra footage, or “heads and tails”), and you won’t have this problem.

I use a program called Cinematize (by Miraizon – Mac and PC), which converts VOB data in Quicktime files (any codec). Works wonders. A freebie solution would by DVD2AVI (I’ve used this method to convert to uncompressed AVI, and works great – however, you’ll end up with enormous files segmented into 2 gig AVIs with a single WAV file). With both solutions, you can set in and out points, and the process is fairly quick with a decent CPU.

you can also apply an “adjustment layer” (I forget what premiere 2.0 calls it) to apply a pile of effects to multiple clips at the same time…

to pull back video after removing b-roll, just hold down the ALT key and drag the out point of the clip – this temporarily unlinks the video from the audio. This feature has been in Premiere for quite a while.

This feature works just fine. There is, however, one major flaw in the design. No other software can be using the firewire bus. For instance, when I’m working in both After Effects and Premiere Pro, I have to quit Premiere in order to see video out to NTSC through firewire. There is no work-around, so you’ll have to quit all running services that might be using firewire before loading AE.
