I suspect this is because the viewer is already getting a sort of “impact point” when a plosive is spoken and it will make the audio edit much less obvious than say, editing in the middle of a vowel sound, which may make the cut more obvious…
I think there are several books out on basic audio production as well as Jay Rose’s book, which is excellent.
Lots of choices…

One of the issues is going to be Quicktime…PPro is a DirectX based animal these days.
PPro on a Windows machine wants to see a “.mov” extension on a Quicktime file or an “.avi” extension on a Video for Windows file.
To edit the stuff with any speed, you’d want to convert the footage to an .avi file. This would also necessitate moving to YUV DV used in PPro.
Ingesting into your system from the deck would certainly help, DVCPro isn’t big on FireWire connectors, but Convergent Design has a very good box called “SD Connect” that will connect to the computer via FW and give you analog/component/SDI I/O.
Sorry about your Avid friends…once the footage is in your machine, try removing an audio click with “Audio Units” set on the timeline so you can edit audio sample by sample…then have them show you what they can do.

Unfortunately you would need to razor the in and out points to create a self-standing clip for the section of that clip you want to remove.
“Extract” in PPro terms at the present time is for a whole clip…not a chunk of a clip. Once you would razor the cut points, PPro sees the section you want to extract as a separate clip and it will go away for you.

Green Screen will do slightly better than the Chroma Keyer in my opinion…at least the edges aren’t so chewed up.
I am with Mike on this…AE has better facilities for this.
Otherwise, if you don’t want to get AE, Serious Magic has a very good color keyer that is a standalone app. Most really decent color keyers that will plug into Premiere Pro cost as much or more than the software itself does…

The Color Corrector is pretty good, but the one thing that is CONSPICUOUSLY missing is having “Levels” included.
For under exposed footage, first use levels to bring back the exposure range. If you use the little button to the right of the effect name in the Effects Control Window, you will see a histogram come up. Move the outer two pointers so they meet the edges of the graph and adjust the middle pointer to taste.
…always a good idea to check the waveform monitor once you’ve made the adjustment to verify you’re still within an appropriate luminance range when you’re done.

Yes, it’s too much procedure for a post, but go to Photoshop help and search “batch processing”.
I believe it’s in v7.0 and later…possibly v6 or earlier, I don’t remember.

It sounds as if you’ve taken the only real steps you can take to diagnose it…
I would say since Premiere 6.5 will most likely never be patched for any future Mac OS anomalies, it’s time to get rid of Tiger or Premiere…or the Mac.
I don’t see many other options. Premiere 6.5 is close to being 3 versions out of date. That combined with the small number of remaining Mac users doesn’t give me much hope that Adobe will invest any time in “fixing” anything….
Not what you wanted to hear most likely…

I think the Matrox RTX card is about all that’s left…
Running PPro on a standard 1394 card on a fast system isn’t unworkable. We do most of our SD work this way these days…
-
The SDI signal coming in through the Decklink card would be no different than a DV signal. It’s digital and there is really no way to “pot” inline as it’s a data dump.
If you are feeding analog audio (and video)in, you would want to put an audio board inline between the deck and the computer.
The bottom line here is that the computer is ingesting digital one way or the other, there is no level control…it’s just 1’s and 0’s by the time PPro sees it. Unfortunately, that means setting the level in the field for ingesting SDI, or setting it before the A>D conversion that the board is doing if you’re using an analog source.
