Premiere --> Vdub should we annul the divorce?

virtual dub/premiere question.

I notice that in the guides it's reccomended to have premiere export the audio and video separately, then combine and recompress in virtualdub.

I'm wondering, if you choose uncompressed in premiere isn't that basically the same quality as a separate .wav file?

In virtualdub, if you use full processing mode you can compress your source audio with whatever (lame for example) that you want.

Is there *really* an advantage to doing it separately? I can't tell, but maybe someone can explain it.

Nope theres no advantage to doing it seperately as far as I know.

I think it depends on if you're editing with the intention of switching over to 23.976 fps from the 24 that is the closest Premiere can handle. If you are, then it is good to ouput the two separately, as the program we typically use to change the AVI framerate doesnt' seem to work if there's audio and you'll need to have the audio separate to correct it as well. Then if you want to encode to an AVI, you'd want to use VDub since it can handle just about any random framerate you happen to throw at it...

Oh yea, the joys of no 23.976 fps support
