Asking 1 drive to deliver 6 streams (3 vid and 3 CFA) at the same time might be asking a bit much. Try deleting one or 2 audio tracks from your main sequence.
A second drive would probably help a bunch. -
You may be expecting too much from your new PC. As far as Premiere is concerned your new PC is not much more powerful than your old one. Premiere just does not much of the horse power available.
It should not hurt to try to copy/paste effects from 1.5 into 2.0…just keep track of what you are doing so you can undo things if it gets crazy. -
The 2 clips referenced in your post appear to be made with Sorenson Spark codec and not with the newer On2 VP6 codec. I cannot tell what your bitrate is.
Compressing video is about compromises;
1. Low Bitrate
2. Smooth Motion
3. Sharp ImagesYour clips really challenge the compession alogrithms with all the motion going on. You can have 2 of the above choices. If you choose 2 and 3, then your bitrate should be about 1600 kbps with a screen size of 480 x 320. Make sure you use Windows media 9 or Flash 8. You may need to experiement with Key Frame placement starting at 30 frame intervals and going down.

Premiere is really clunky when doing pan/scan on still pics…at least compared to other apps like Photoshop Elements 4 or Pro Show Gold.
First be sure to deselect “Default scale to frame size” In Preferences>General or the image quality will be poor on any pan/scan.
Also images should be resized to about 1200 x 900 first or you will be constantly changing the zoom view of the Program Window to see the control handles and again to tweek the pan/scan. -
Did you preview the DVD menu (while in Premiere) to a TV?
You cannot change the subpicture colors in Premiere, so you must either use the default background or one the will contrast with the Selected state subpicture.
Or use Encore. -
In Premiere;
File Export>Adobe Media Encoder
In the upper/right area;
Format> Choose Windows Media. Range = Entire sequence.
Preset> Choose WM9 NTSC 512K Download
Then click OK. -
By default one of the buttons is in the “Selected” state, the remaining buttons are in the “Normal” state and I suspect that the highlight color of the normal state of the subpicture is the same color as your background. Are you using Premiere to author the menus and did you replace the backgroundd?
Did you preview the menus in Premiere? -
If you insist on H264, QT Player Pro can do a better job exporting the video and offers AAC compressed audio.
Suggest using Windows Media Video 9 from Premiere. -
Just to add to Vincent’s comments…640 and 720 are the same because 640 has square pixels and 720 has retangular pixels (.9 X 720 = 640). Hope you all sleep better tonight with that insight@#!

Looks like your video is interlaced…make sure you deinterlace your timeline clips; Right click on each clip and choose: Field Options>Always Deinterlace.
