Hey,
I'm new to ripping DVD's, but I recently completed a whole DVD rip, I used DVDtoAVI to convert those files to an editible format in Premiere (with less hassle anyways), so now I have a nice playable format with a frame rate of 29.97, which I didn't think would cause a problem. Now, I don't know much about frame rates, but I figured higher meant better quality. Anyways, to my point, when I use these files with a high frame rate in Premiere, it simply doesn't want to work. Very very slowly (to the point W-XP is saying "not responding"), I finally figured out that with a file about 23.9 (whatever ^^ ...) frame rate, it wasn't being slow at all. Now, to my actual question, would it hurt anything to take these files from 29.97 down to 23? And also, could I simply work with files encoded to 23 and then when exporting them out of Premiere (as the amv) and move them back up to 29.97? Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
