Newbie Question Regarding Premiere and Codecs

Postby froggy04 » Sun Nov 17, 2002 10:40 am

I only recently started using Premiere 6, and it crashes practically every time I attemp to edit. I think this is because I use Divx footage.
If I used this Divx footage and used VirtualDub to compress it using HuffYuv, would I be able to use the video in Premiere without this problem or would it make no difference?

Also I have been using dvd2avi to convert VOBs directly into Avis (as opposed to d2v and then processing through TMPGEnc.)
However, the clips have no sound. How can I correct this, if at all?

You didn't read them good enough if you're using a lossy compressed like divx. Read them again and don't use DivX.

I realise this, but there are problems arising with Huffyuv because I don't have a whole lot of HD space left and so the file size is an issue.

Also, is there a way to bypass Avisynth and go from VOB to a Huffyuv compressed Avi, because when I tried it with DVD2AVI, the output was just a fuzzy screen.

And any input on the sound question?

Thanks for anything.

1) Yes use HuffYUV instead of DivX, sometimes DivX works, most of the time it doesn't.

2) The only way I could get this to work, was to demux the audio and then you can either import it to Premiere to work with the AVISynth file, or I believe there is a command in AVISynth that allows you to remux it. MPEG2Source filter only allows for Video, I believe.

The best way is to use AVISynth. Heck even people who rip DVDs -> nice DivX files reccomend it. So should be good with the quality.

If you'e having problems, try DVD2AVI 1.86. You can use a AVISynth script in VirtualDub to clip it to huffYUV. You can also use programs like FlaskMPEG or XMPEG. THIS IS NOT RECCOMENDED HOWEVER.

In reguards to number two, here's the script I use when doing a DVD -> DivX conversion

video = MPEG2Source("C:\Hellsing\Projects\01.d2v")
audio = WAVSource("C:\Hellsing\Projects\01 T01 AC3 256Kbps 48KHz.wav")
AudioDub(audio, video)
Telecide()
Decimate(5)
