Well, if you are using straight cuts with no effects or transitions, you can export back to DV tapes without usually losing quality. A DVD backup is probably the worst solution of all. Once a footage is compressed to DVD (By that I mean Mpg2), it really isn’t suitable to editing or compositing again, and you will probably have a heck of a time even importing it back into your editing application. HD DVDs might solve that issue with SD video at least.

Well, the reason it uses 640×480 instead of 720×480 has to do with the fact that a computer screen is narrower than a standard TV screen (or it used to be until wide LCD screens came along) . 640×640 will fill up the screen on a computer, (when playing full screen). 720×480 will give you small bars on top and bottom.

Well, you have a couple of options. If you could make your cuts in Premiere, then you could export as DV AVI to After Effects, make sure to uncheck the always recompress box. If you do have transitions but no color correction, you might still be able to export DV avi without major quality loss.
Then, if all you need is titles and color correction (or Sepia Tone effect), that all can be done in After Effects, without a need to go back to Premiere. If you have the production bundle, you can then link directly to Encore without rendering. If you don;t and are using a third party DVD authoring software, or Premuere to create the DVD, then you should export uncompressed, and that’s about a GIG per minute of footage for SD. Not sure what you mean by like a robot. Is it skipping frames ? If you did export uncompressed from After Effects, Premiere may have a hard time to deal with the new file until it’s rendered.

PP2 has an option to choose Windows Media 9 advanced Profile (under the video tab). You can then pick your own resolution. I’m not sure if that was available in PP 1.5. Otherwise, you may have to download the Windows Media Encoder, and export uncompressed.

You know, that’s actually a great point. I actually almost forgot about that great Photoshop feature.
Thanks Dave

That’s usually a setting in your card software. It detects video and automatically puts it full screen, just as it would do with Windows Media for eg.
You could also try setting the video output as extended display in your display properties and drag the whole Premiere program there. BTW, you might also try looking into screen recording software, such as Camtasia. It will make things a 100 times easier for you, also given that the quality of video outs on graphic cards isn’t usually that great.

If you are exporting uncompressed, 720×480 you might end up with something like 3- 4 GIGS.
If you could give us a few more details on your export codec etc. it would be helpful.

This is either as simple as using the razor tool, or I’m not getting your question 😉

If you can identify the jerky shots, then make a list of them from your DVD times (Assuming you only have one chapter), then go back to Premiere, right click on the clips choose field options, and choose reverse field dominance.

One a side note, be careful about exporting to DV if you have added titles, motion graphics, or any kind of effect, as this will force a recompression of your timeline. Basically, pretty much anything else than straight cuts.
