Is your OS up to date? Which version are you trying to run?

Definitely sounds like a graphics card / driver issue.

Yes, Cheaper than $999. Premiere CS5.5 Full is $799 and if you have Aftereffects CS4 already you can get the Production Premium bundle for Just $1099 which includes, well all lot.

And don’t discount Premiere – the current version has all the upgrades FCP7 needed – and it’s cheaper than Avid.

I started on the Avid and loved it – then fell into Final Cut and convinced people to abandon MC and go with FCP – and all along I was dabbling with Premiere cause PCs were cheap and I liked to build my own. I did some smaller projects on PPro 5 and 6 but not until CS3 did I quit FCP. Still, PPro was buggy and crashed, but so did FCP 4 when I used it so the only real difference was the Hardware which I couldn’t compete with, building my own on a budget. Now with CS5 I feel I can build a cheap machine (4 core AMD) and still do better than FCP 7 on an 8 core G5.

I’m thinking Adobe’s Production Premium CS5 IS the upgrade path from FCS3. Don’t even have to change platforms.

Spoken like a true believer. Right on!

Multiple sequences withing a main sequence? Yikes. That sounds very confusing. I’m sure some 12 year old kid will love it and put me out of work using it though.

You can rename the files in Media Encoder first.

Nero Vision (in Nero 9 or later) using the “Make Movie” function. It’s their editing software. Load the VOB there. Drag it to the time line and then press export.
A 20 year old DVD? Sounds more like Video CD. But Nero can read lots of formats, so it might not matter. There is probably a free transcoder on the internet too that can do this. I only started using Nero cause it could transcode AVCHD files to HDV, something I had needed at the time for a work project. Once PPro could handle AVCHD, I stopped using Nero for anything other than VOB files
