It is a Squeeze problem. Because the image is anamorphic it’s seeing the pixel count and saying it must be 4:3. You should use Encore to encode the avi. Going to DV avi is going to kill some sharpness and overall colour saturation, but squeeze is not letting you see the correct aspect ratio! so which is the lesser evil?
I’d probably reinstall PPro for Encoder MPEG-2. Then you’ll have no prob’s.

From Memory DVCAM is the only low-end tape type that can record a locked TC with direct firewire connection for TC duplication. I’m pretty sure its got to do with the SMPTE timecode, which DV SP doesn’t have.
Anyway, DVCAM recording doesn’t need to be on the bigger tapes, (but you can get longer tape lengths this way).
You can record a DVCAM signal to a miniDV tape using the DSR-11. I wouldn’t stray on the quality of that tape stock though. I only use Panasonic Tapes as they have never failed me, unlike Sony and all the others.
You will lose 1/3rd of the tape length with this process as the tape runs faster to record a more stable signal. A 60min miniDv tape will only give you 42mins of DVCAM recording.
Hope this helps with your costs as the DVCAM official tapes are way more expensive than the miniDV Panasonic minute for minute.

Could you post the clip somewhere so we can see the jerky look?
If you are just speed/duration alting upto 800, have you tried to use the timeremapping to do it? That should look much better.

I have found this timecode bug a while ago, along with others, and it continues to frustrate the s**t out of me, cutting a long form project from notes made by the producer from a VHS master with BITC – (Done before I got involved).
I have posted it on adobe’s bug site, but it seems to be not that frequent an issue for them to bother fixing it.
I want to make a bug listing on the cow so we can use the power of the cow to beef up (pun intended) the voice of PPro users wanting a PROFESSIONAL editing application.
Will you join me in this protest to adobe to make a fully functional 3.5 version before they even think of releasing a v4?

Just tell your editor to export an Uncompressed (None) Quicktime Movie.
That should get you working together nicely. Big File size going uncompressed though.
Matrox is a hardware based Video Accelerator card that allows uncompressed HD editing with it’s own codec. That’s what your editor has given you. HDV comes in 1440×1080 PAL or 1280×1080 NTSC as a native to camera signal. You’re editor needs to export at 1920×1080 sq pixel aspect ratio.

you should be able to capture the HDV signal with PPro 2. You need to setup the HDV project properly first. You will be working in HDV 60i or 30. That should be seeing the camera and won’t show you a picture while capturing but will allow you to see the lcd screen on the camera to see what is capturing.
This is all without the cineform software, but the cineform version will be much better speed and quality if that is installed on (PPro).
You should be able to just import the captured footage, you don’t need to export clips that have already been captured, unless they are using a codec that PPro won’t see.
Try to import (into a HDV NTSC Project) the original clips that were captured with Vegas.

Are you trying to export to Quicktime?
That will crash if you have the latest version 7.4.1. You need to go back to the 7.3.1 version.

Yes. Open a HDV project in PPro. Import the project/AAF/EDL into the HDV project and offline all the clips. Batch capture them with the HDv settings. All will capture no prob’s. I do it all the time. 🙂

Are you sure you have a Mac Book Pro with an intel processor?
Everything else will work, but Premiere won’t work on a mac without one.

Personally I would edit the interviews with a sequence for each then I could just switch timeline tabs to get the footage I want.
But to answer your question. Yes. You can set a marker in the timeline with the * (asterix) in the num pad and while still on it hit the * (asterix) in the num pad again to open the marker properties, you can make notes there then use the next back buttons to skip to a fro of other markers. You can also double click a marker on the timeline to open the properties box.
