Working on my current video, with 50gb of huffyuvs, I just couldn't put up with it any longer. It was just eating up too much of my hard disk, I wasn't able to even defrag my disk was so full (and the huffys themselves were very fragmented, so played back very choppy anyways). So I decided that I simply couldn't work under these conditions.
I believe I've found a very nice little solution to my problem though. I tried encoding the huffyuvs to the XviD codec, with all keyframes, at constant quantizer of 1. I loaded this baby up into premiere, set it down in the time line, chopped it up into tiny pieces and rearranged them, added some rtansparency and effects, and dragged the the timeline marker over them vigorously, trying to make premiere crash. But it didn't! It was perfectly stable using xvid (which I can't say for divx). Of course the video quality is slightly degraded from huffy, but its very, very negligable difference, and the savings in filesize more than make up for it, in my opinion.
Just a little tip I thought I'd throw out there for anyone else thats having trouble working under hard disk limitations.
