Is it possible that the safe zone settings got changed in your project settings from 20% and 10% to something else?

Andy,
The preset you are using is set for 5.1 surround sound. You probably have a stereo sequence. Change the preset for the audio to get to a stereo output.

Perhaps. I don’t use 24p, but my understanding is that you need to upgrade to Premiere Pro 2.0 to get it to work properly.

Building an MPEG2-DVD file will not use the preview files, so it will not have some orf thr same DV codec problems. I just use 7Mbps High Quality CBR for anything less than one hour.
WMV works fine if you just want to play it on a PC.
The reason you get that message is that you have a stereo master. The program is complaining that it doesn’t know how to upmix to 5.1 for you. So import the main sequence into a new sequence with a 5.1 Master audio track. Then adjust the adio that you recorded on multiple mics…. but you probably didn’t…. So use Stereo instead of 5.1
Remember that the presets are just presets. You can change them to suit your needs.

OK.
The first thing I did was to bring the pic into Photoshop and apply the 1.2 PAR just to see what it would look like. Then I watched the AVI in a couple of players. Then in Premiere Pro. It looks like there is some serious quality loss.
So try this: Unlock the ratio in Photoshop and change the still to 720X480 using 1.2PAR. Use that in Premiere Pro 1.5 and you will find some improvement.
The main issue is trying to use sharp images like that with a DV codec. Read this article. It might help you understand some of the issues: https://www.creativecow.net/articles/hodgetts_philip/titles/index.html
But the other issue is trying to use a square pixel image like that without using Photoshop or After Effects to make the size and PAR change.

It might be better to lay it back out to tape and have the FCP editor recapture it from tape.

How are you exporting? Many PCs will not play back a DV AVI at full speed and full quality using Media Player. If you bring the DV AVI into another project how does it look? Have you tried using a different player?

Dumb? I don’t know. I think it will make people upgrade to the Production Studio. So is it dumb? No.
Really, really annoying perhaps. But not dumb.
