I called Adobe again, yet another sales lady firmly stated “PPro CS3 will start shipping in mid April” The bundle will be in July.

I, on the other hand, overclock my pc for years, 2-3 of them so far, and never really notice any problem with mine. (AMD chip with reliable motherboard.)

Thanks Steve. Good suggestions, but I am not a video professional, just hobbist. Therefore, it is out of my budget, or at least my wife’s. Haha!!

Now, as I research more… I do see another BIGGGGGGG advantage of upgrading. Encore is now included in Premiere Pro AC3 !! WOW! Although I have other authorizing softwares, but being able to through it all in one package is great! I will definitely upgrade. (“…Use Adobe Encore CS3, included with Adobe Premiere Pro CS3” – right from their website.)
P.S.: I also found another way to upgrade that is $100 cheaper! If you upgrade to 2.0 now, and Adobe will give you AC3 for free! Can’t beat that! ($199 for Pr AC3 from Premiere 6.5, 1.0 or 1.5!) You have to order 2.0 first, between now and Aug 2007, then, call Adobe for AC3.

TClark and all,
Thanks for the info… this is what drives me crazy… please reason with me…
If Adobe releases are such a “secret”, claimed by many “beta testers”, “loyal users” and “elites”, then, why in the recent 2-3 releases, “salesman” or “website sellers” are the 1st to know and publish the information? (I don’t really buy the secretive reason in the first place)
In a forum like this, why is there often a “hush-hush” about it? There often suppressive warning about discussing features on the new release.
Well, I am glad we have people like you to spread the good news. For one, I want to upgrade from PPro 1.5 but do not want to upgrade to 2.0 for in a few months, cs3 is coming. If it were 2 years down the road, then, that’s another story.
Am I alone in here?

Capture in Record mode, but without tape in it, leave the tape door open.

Blast,
That might be what Adobe claims, but it surely does not work well with MPEG.Perry

That sounds great, but, sometime, when I loaded MPEG into PPro, it is all screwed up (looks like aged film with interlace). Would you expand on your method? Or direct us to another location for more reading about “DGMPGDec”, I am not familiar with this codec. (I used avisynth before)
Sincerely,

2 ways I could do this:
1. Copy the VOB file(s) back to HardDrive from DVD and rename it .mpg > then use another software (e.g. AE or TMPGENC to encode it back to avi, if need to edit OR if not need to edit, use some third party free encoders like, SUPERENCODER, to transcode your MPEG2 file into .mov or .wmv. (Prefer method)
2. If some re-encoding softwares are not available, play the DVD on a dvd player > use a DV Camcorder to bypass the signal back to Premiere for capturing (You don’t even have to capture it to tape, then re-capture again into Premiere)
Best wish,

What’s the file extension? Are they DIVX or any MPEG? PPro is not good at handling these files.
