At this point, for any HD content that I need to play back (more and more requests for live events), I use WMVHD out of an HP DV9000 laptop with HDMI out (You can use a DVI adapter as well)
The picture quality is really impressive, and the playback is seemless at 1080P. BTW, I use a player called zoom player. It allows control on one screen and playback on the other.
Of course, you could also request an HDCAM deck for Chritsmas 😉

I’m assuming you are doing a DV capture, so the next line should be obvious. Use firewire out of the computer to the DAC, and use analogue to the monitor.
Make sure you enable DV output in the preview window. Look at that little arrow on the top right of the preview window and explore from there.

Yes, unfortunately, as Harm mentionned, this is a DVD format, which is not friendly to editing software, and especially not Premiere Pro.
I think you may have more luck with Premiere Elements.
The way Mpeg2 compression works makes it difficult for Premiere to recreate the entire frames, since part of the information isn’t there anymore. The jerky effect is a result of that.
One way you could deal with the issue is using a firewire connection, (Canopus ADVC series), and although you will lose quality in different ways, the jerkiness should go away.
Or you could try to Google Mpeg2 to AVI converter. People also suggested software for that in the Cow archives. Ideally, you want to convert that footage to uncompressed if you have the space.
Good luck,

There is a “remove unused” function in the project menu, and that’s all it does.
The project manager will allow you to copy everything to a new folder, and you can check an option to keep the preview files as well.

Rendered files or “preview files’ are usually saved in a separate folder, as specified in your scratch disk preferences. You will probably have to render again.
Next time you leave a project alone for a while , you should use the Project Manager (Project > Project manager) . This will allow you to consolidate all your project files in one folder, as well as include your audio and video previews.

This was discussed a few posts below titled “Split Audio on Import”

As far as I know, you can either use BlueRay DVDs or Standard DVDs on a PS3. The BlueRay may not be an option for you right now ($1500.00 without authoring software), and unless you are shooting HD videos, it wouln’t make much of a difference.
The standard DVDs can be burned with any DVD burner, either using Premiere’s Make DVD export, or a third party authoring application.
Of course, there isn’t much of an advantage for quality over a regular DVD player. The only thing it will do is upscale to your plasma’s resolution if you own one.

Well, this is what I would do, using the original project. There is an application out there called Winrar that you may know already.
It’s a little like WinZip, except, it lets you break up a folder into separate custom chunks of Data, there’s even a setting for DVD archiving. You can use compression (which will take a long time for a large project) or just let it save the data as is. So for a DVD, it will take the folder, then make several 4.7 Gigs (or any size you tell it to) files containing all your project data.
Once you want to recover the project, just click on one of the archives and it will ask you to find all the other parts.

Thanks guys.
Dennis,
There is a reason I included the word ‘recommend’. I’m not one to yet trust Google’s recommendations on used equipment resellers 😉
