The screen key never did work, now dropped in CS3. Premiere is just lousy at keying but try the Color Key.

[Al Shisko] “I have to fully ‘authorize’ the CS3 install to access the codecs.”
Bingo!

AVCHD is actually the H264 codec which is supported by the Blu-ray format. I dont have any, but try importing a native file into Encore. You wont be able to edit it, but might be able to create a Blu-ray disc…if you have an extra $15.

AVCHD is currently not supported by Premiere. It probably will, but will require a 900 horse power PC to decompress and edit.
-
If you already have captured the HDV footage (not AVCHD) then simply import that into a SD project. Scale and/or pan/scan to display some or all of the HDV footage in the tiny SD window. Rendering for DVD will be considerably longer than plan b.
Plan b;
Convert in the camera to SD during capture to a SD Project. Best quality and quickest render. Also easier to edit on a PC with less than 500 horse power or without the $500 Cineform codec. -
If you can recapture it at 800×600 as a jpeg or gif that work would best.
OR
If it is a .jpg or .gif, just post a link to it. Folks will need to scroll to see it all.

1. What are the QT export settings. Many QT files have a Windows file size limit of 2 or 4 gig.
2. Why do you need a QT file on a PC?, because Premiere cannot create decent quality/size QT files except in the H264 (.mp4 or .mov extension) format which works fine on my PC with 7.4.1 QT player.
3. Surely you are exporting to a drive with plenty of space and not a DVD/CD drive.

I believe that the audio is Dolby, not mpeg and Premiere cannot import that. Encore can and some folks say that copying ad2ac3dec.dll from Encore’s program folder to Premiere’s will fix that.
Premiere Elements which is built for consumer cameras can also handle that. -
Scenalyzer Live has start and stop timer options. Download the demo and try it.

Premiere Elements and CS3 project files are not compatible.
Rendering times should be about the same as both apps use the same Main Concept encoder. Obviously computer speeds will influence render times.
