There are programs that are better than others at increasing the scale from SD to HD, but why in the world would anyone think that SD could look anywhere near as good as HD? Increasing 720X480 to 1280X720 or even 1920X1080, God forbid, means that the pixels have to be a lot bigger. So each one is now 4. Where are the new pixels to come from?
A similar issue comes about when making 4:3 look like 16:9. If you must combine the two, use 4:3 not 16:9. Or letterbox the 16:9 and mask the 4:3 to match. The only way to make 4:3 into the same size as your 16:9 is to zoom in. Once again, where do the new pixels come from?
I don’t mean to upset anyone, but reality bites. Shoot HDV or HD and edit HDV or HD. Shoot SD and edit SD. You might even shoot HDV and edit SD until your tools catch up with your desire.
What is it they say about teaching a pig to sing? It wastes your time and annoys the pig. Making SD into HD just isn’t a worthwhile effort unless it is the only possible way to mix a little SD into a lot of HD.

That’s disappointing. I was thinking of buying one so I could run both the Mac and the PC versions on the same machine if I wanted to edit books or tutorials that covered both.
So things don’t work right? Maybe when they get the beta version released?

All of the above. A fast processor, more RAM, and the right GPU on the graphics card could all contributre to faster rendering.
You may also need to rethink your disk configuration. Your hard drive or the control of that drive could be at fault.
It also matters what effects you used. Auto Levels or color correction, and especially the Magic Bullet effects can all slow things down.

It imports the audio multiplexed in the video. I know nothing about AC3 unfortunately.

Also, can you export to a DV AVI, and how long does that take? The amount of effects makes a difference, and the program does not use the preview files you created.

The best way is to avoid it at all costs. Other than that, export the 24fps to 30fps and use that instead.

If you are using Premiere Pro 2.0, you can copy the .VOB to your hard drive and change the name to .mpg
If there is no copy protection (your client burned it themselves or had someone do it on a PC) then it works fine. It does not work if copy protection is involved. In that case you need a program like ImTOO DVD Ripper.

I got tired just watching it. That was one heck of a lot of physical effort as far as I can tell. Hard work, wasn’t it?

It depends on the version of Premiere Pro. Version 2.0 no longer conforms much of the audio, and when it does it can share between projects. Earlier versions couldn’t share, so it really doesn’t matter.
Me? I use a common area for all capturing and scratch locations. But to be honest, I still delete most of the cache files before I move on to the next project anyway.
