The file is at “Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0\Plug-ins\Common\AEFilters”
It is an After Effects “effect”, but also works in Premiere.
If you don’t need it, try copying it to a different folder and see if that solves your issue.

Well, I did use a couple of Xvid videos in Premiere 2 recently without issue (which did surprise me…)
Premiere really isn’t meant to support it natively, so if it does, you’re in luck. I would Google Xvid to AVI converter and see what you can find, sorry that’s all the advice I can give you.

My comment was regarding the reliability of this particular brand, which we have to recognize is cheap, thus my “backup” suggestion. In practice, I do see many of these go bad, just as I see a lot of Western Digital go bad.
I have nothing against the brand, but these drives just aren’t build for constant access, such as rendering. I like Seagate, although I did have one crash on me this year, so I may revise that review later on 😉

Let me make this an objective comment. If you buy a LaCie, buy another one for back up.

That should do the trick for you.

I haven’t used it in ages, so I would download the trial version to make sure that it still works in Premiere 2 before you spend your 40 bucks 😉

What version of Premiere and what type of AVI ?

>>”I have been using Premiere since 4 (I still have the floppy discs to prove it)”
Yeah, I remember trying to zoom in a picture in P4. Looked about as smooth as dollying with a camera tied up to the back of a camel… yes I did ride on a camel once 😉

I have come to realize that many people who are reporting constant issues with Premiere are either:
1- Using their editing / motion graphics computer as a personal computer as well. Your editing computer should theoretically only be running one application at once, with no internet connection or antivirus.
2- Using a custom cheaply build PC with spare parts dropped off by the neighbour 😉
I’m not saying that Premiere never crashes, but it only has crashed about 4 times for me in the past 5 years. After Effects has never crashed on its own. I won’t give that same rave review to Encore, this thing needs to be rebuilt from the ground up…
But for affordable editing PP2 and AE are the way to go.
My two bits.

Assuming you are working in DV 720×480, if you want an image that will fit perfectly in the window without resizing, you’ll have to export from Photoshop at 648×480. This has to do with the pixel aspect ratio, square in Photoshop, but not in Premiere.
You do have to take into account that if you work this way, you won’t be able to zoom or pan in the image without a lose of quality.

Then don’t export to DV 😉 In fact never export to DV, unless you have to go to a DV tape. Just remember that DV compression is 5:1.
Either export to Mpeg2 for DVD, or even better, export uncompressed and let you DVD encoder figure out the space requirements.
