It could run, theoretically. But a lot depends on other specs, as well as the kinds of video you are working with.
For example, I run a two-drive system on my home PC. Apps and OS on C drive (an SSD), everything else on the second drive (a 2TB WD internal).
I run CS4 on this system. It is fine for home video use. But I am also cutting SD-only on it, and not a lot of AE work, because it is a low-RAM system. At work it’s CC on a workstation with lots of RAM, a good video card and a RAID for storage, and cuts HD like warm butter all day.
So what other specs? Will you be running CC? CS6?> something else? How much RAM? Video card?

I do not know what version of AE you are using, and it may be too late to mess around with. But with fewer pixels to process, you might get better render times using the trick in this Creating Super Tight Junk Mattes tutorial:

I use this routinely for chromakey work in AE now. Something to tuck away for the future.

They can, I believe, save as a CS6 file. If you can get someone with CS6 to open the file they can then save as a CS5 file. Effects or other things unique to CC won’t make the transition, of course.

What type of clip is it, and how many channels of audio does it have? It might be a mapping issue, or possibly an import issue. How was it imported into Premiere?

Strangely enough, I have run into the opposite – the video flew by while the audio played normally.
I pulled that puppy into Media Encoder, converted to another file type and moved on.

Tell us more about your situation.
What version of Adobe and what products are you using?
Which effects have you tried thus far?

Remember, if you are creating a DVD (not a Blu-Ray) your deliverables are standard definition.
You can render to a DVD-friendly format for Encore, and avoid addition transcoding there. Your end product will be SD letterboxed on old 4:3 SD screens. It may play full screen (still SD though) on HD monitors.
Media Encoder has DVD-ready presets.

What Shane said. If you have access to the camera originals, you could recreate the work. Or if you have discrete audio tracks, you can accomplish this.
But if it is already fully mixed, you are being asked to remove an egg from a cake that has already been mixed and baked.

Quite a few different “flavors” of JPEG exist. A Google search for “lossless JPEG” provides some reading you may find interesting.
It is true that when JPEG was first introduced (after originally being a classified technology used by the military) it was a lossy compression format.
But if your difference matte shows no difference, well. . . sounds like a lossless/near-lossless version of JPEG.

[1] Try the period key instead of the comma key.
[2] Assuming from your description that there isn’t a gap between your clips and you want to drop another clip in there (destructive overwrite edit), create a 3-point edit. Set an in and out point on the timeline where you want the clip to drop in. Set an in point in your source monitor where you want the inserted clip to begin. Set your track patch (if necessary) and press the period key.
Want to do that without the destructive insert to see of you like the flow? Just patch the insert to an empty layer above your other video layer!
If you have no in or out points in your time line, Premiere Pro assumes your CTI position is the in point for an overwrite.
