The idea of collecting a bunch of edits into one sequence in order to output them as a bunch of clips seems like a strange way to go about it. You can send each sequence to the Media Encoder to create a batch list or do as suggested above and import them from the Media Encoder.
Now the feature I’d like to see them add to the Media Encoder is to pass through the sequence names from Premiere.

Yeah – any time code breaks in the VOB file and PPro can’t get past it.
DVD Decrypter seems to eliminate that when you use it to “decrypt” the VOB files to your hard drive. It’s not really decrypting them cause they aren’t copy protected, but it seem to write new files that don’t have the same timecode breaks so PPro can import all of it. I also use Nero to open the VOB files and then rewrite them as DV .avi files when all else files. I am sure there are million other ways to do it too. -
I was going to say that the audio settings for the timeline might haven been the problem….

Ah – found it – audio mapping was set to stereo rather than source file. Looks like you could force it to mono as well which, if you knew in advance you had the bad stereo tracks, could circumvent the Audio Gain crash problem.

PPro is importing the MXF files not as 4 mono tracks as it used to but as 2 stereo tracks. Not cool. Is that a setting I don’t know about?

Also – now that I’ve had some to think about it – since when did premiere start importing the tracks of DCVPRoHD as stereo tracks rather than mono tracks? Seems that is not how it used to be. It would be better is they were mono.

If the Premier Editor is working on a PC, you can’t do it. HDV Quictimes don’t play in the PC universe at all (nor do XDCAM Quicktimes.) You’ll have to transcode everything to something else.

Sub Clips are the way to go.
If you have to go from a sequence, then select the clip you want, copy it and then paste it into the master sequence.
You can also cut a sequence into another sequence. -
I’ll try the memory option right now. More RAM when I can. Thanks. And I get all the updates automatically.

What are the frame sizes of your video?
Frame rates don’t help in this case.
