I think it is the best way because when I work with 720x576 avs scripts the change that Premiere exports without any memory problems or whatever is just: under 5%
and I have 3,4GHZ and 1GB RAM so: =/
It isn´t hard because you can set the "range" of your workspace and can only export the workspace area and not only the full sequenz.
It´s wuite usefull if you want to watch only a part of your video. I do it because I get often the memory-avs problems when I render in Premiere.

Alternative:
After rendering the parts. Insert it in another Premiere sequenz and render again. Premiere will render much more faster now, because it hasn´t to calculate fades, effects and such things. It´s just puting things together like in VDM.

Also (and sorry for the double post), I figured out the whole section thing, but now VDub Crashes!

WTF?

Uhm... mhmm... Install a newer version of VDM and your looseless codec? I recommend: Lagarith

and how does it crash?

Well, it doesn't crash per se, but when it gets to a specific point, it just closes itself. I guess you could call that a crash.

Anyway, it happens without fail in the exact same place every time.

And I did use Lagarith. It's the best way I could get it out of Premiere.

The crashing in Vdub happened to me too once when I exported segments out of pro 2.0, I still went ahead with the encode and it came out fine.

Right, I get to the encoding part and VDM dies on me.

I tweaked my codec settings for export and that helped a little bit, but not a whole lot (about 20 frames during encode). Even when I try to seek to a random point, I crash VDM.

/eyebrew moves up

Interessting. Uhm... What do you think about the x.264 alternative? I mean... all you need is a Lagarith (it should be a looseless codec) file and a mp3 or m4a audio stream and mix it all together with a script.

This guide tells you a lot about it and isn´t too hard to understand. In the end only a few parameters really "matter":
--crf 18 or something between untill 21
18, means bigger filesize and higher quality and everything higher means a lower filesize and lower quality. Thats all.

Of course afterwards you have to mux audio + video in mp4box.

I'll give that a whirl.

Just another question:

Theoretically, would VDM be able to combine two Lagarith files with very few video errors easily?
