The Adobe Media Encoder built into Premiere is basically a stripped down version of the stand alone app Windows Media Encoder 9. While in Premiere, you can add markers that when encoded will launch the viewers browser to any URL.For what you want, you will need to export just the raw DV.avi for the stand alone app.
I have a short tut on using WME9, but dont cover the scripting

Premiere Elements 2 does this, but it adds to the processor overhead even without picons and waveforms. It is kinda cool though.

Try playing the video from the camera via its analog out cable to an analog/digital converter or a camcorder that has pass-thru feature and capture as DV.

If your NLE has Windows Media Encoder as an export option, choose 2 pass vbr, 320 x 240 at about 1mbps for video and 96 kbps for audio. One inserted on a slide you can upsize as needed.
You can also download Windows Media Encoder 9 free from Microsoft…I have a vid tut on how to use it.

Dont think that the FX1 has a wide screen/SD mode like some cams…that is what the HDV mode is for. Project and export settings sould be SD normal, not widescreen…actually about 2/3 of your post went over my short head…teapots and tiffs?

Click one of the icons at the left end of each audio track and choose Clip Volume. Use the Pen tool and the Ctrl key to create nodes or keyframes on the yellow vulume rubberband on each track. Then the Pen tool to drag a node down to 0 db.
Warning…dont accidently go above 100%…can cause nasty sounds only noticable by the client on the finished DVD. (sounds Ok from the timeline) -
Premiere plug-ins have .prm extension, although some After Effects plug-ins have a .aex extension and can be used by Premiere as well. Photoshop plug-ins use a .8bf extension. These files are installed in the designated “Plug-in” folder when installing the plug-in in the OS. The individual files can be kinda shared by copy/ pasting from AE to Premiere and from PS to Premiere, although most wont work, but little harm done if you keep track of what you are doing and can undo.
Fonts are a mystery to me, except that copy/pasting fonts between the various font folders on the system can produce some bad results.

Premiere does not have Time Remapping like After Effects. A cheesy workaround is to cut the clip into segments, applyng a different speed to each segment.

from the Help files;
Always Deinterlace
Converts interlaced fields into whole progressive-scan frames. Adobe Premiere Pro deinterlaces by discarding one field and interpolating a new field based on the lines of the remaining field. It keeps the field specified in the Field Settings option in the Project Settings (see Specifying project settings). If you specified No Fields, Adobe Premiere Pro keeps the upper field unless you selected Reverse Field Dominance, in which case it keeps the lower field. This option is useful when freezing a frame in the clip. -
Skips??? Does Premiere report dropped frames during capture?? Stange artifacts??? can you post a screen shot? or email me one and I will post it.
