Brian, in Apple world, you use backspace to delete things. In FCP, Delete does “ripple delete”, called extract edit in Avid. It automatically shifts all incoming clips to close the gap.
Use backspace to do the edit you want.

MPEGStreamclip should work, but Premiere should be perfectly capable of editing DVCProHD Quicktime files out of the box.

Steve, I kind of feared that… The producer is a company that distributes documentary DVDs and this is their first attempt at producing their own doco.
I think we could get away with DVD-ripped footage, if all they want is low-budget DVD distribution.
But they seem to seek TV syndication too. And I am almost certain that no TV broadcaster would accept such a low quality footage. Is it even possible to fix and sweeten low quality DVD-ripped footage (the footage itself is up to 70 years old, too!)? I think the producers will have some tough decisions to make…
Thanks!

Yes, I kind of feared that. So, what do you suggest I do or tell the producers?
Thanks for all your help!

Stuart, these copies have NO timecode burns, no whatever, they are recorded with some kind of cheap DV device and burned straight to Video DVDs. Producers didn’t consult with me beforehand, their fault.
I wonder if it’s even possible to do a rought cut from plain DVDs (VOBs converted to DV files) and using these sequences as EDLs to determine what has to be scanned for online.

Thanks, the thing is, numbers in Memory and Cache preference panel are exactly the same with 4 GB RAM like they were with 2 gigs.. I know that Win 32 cannot address whole 4 gigs, but this is weird… And manually changing percentage (“use 200 per cent of RAM”) is not very stable.

This is Firefox 3. Sorry for triple post, but no need to be rude, Harm.

I can – when your browser shows you server error two times.

The trouble with USB is that it uses CPU for transfers, so if your CPU is busy (as it always is when editing), file transfers will get MUCH slower (like 3 MB/s in my case). I have 25-35 MB/s with the exact same drive connected via FW400. FireWire and eSata do not have this issue.
