I have a [Premiere] problem *duh*

For some reason Premiere (6.0 just because I know it'll come up) isn't cooperating with me. I have ripped my footage off the DVD with [minimal] success. DVD2AVI wouldn't export in anything but Xvid. ANYTHING!! So here is my dilemma: Premiere will open the file, import it okay, Play it wonderfully, but when I go to preview it-- Nothing. Absolute nothing. Easy, I had to render right? "Ok hell no!" -Computer When I attempt to render, the entire program locks up. I have never seen such a shitty display if disrespect. I know it's not speed I have that in excess. And I think 2 GB of RAM is more than enough. So what is the problem?

The file I'm trying to import is: 1.42GB and is encoded in Xvid at 8000kbps. Windows 2k, OS. If I omitted anything please ask I need this fixed ASAP.
And don't even ask, cuz Avisynth has pissed me off for the last time. There is no pleasing it.

Don't use DVD2AVI to make a AVI. Use it to save a project file. Then you can use MPEG2DEC inside AviSynth to load it into Premiere or virtualdub.

Read the guides, they explain how to do this.

XviD is known for not working in Premiere. I get no previews or frames when I scrub the timeline.

MPEG2DEC is the devil there has to be a better way.

You could try to find a later version of DVD2AVI. Maybe a different one will work better?

huffYUV doesn't even work?

That seems surprising.

Maybe your computer needs to be pushed out a window.

Just snow. Very very colorful snow. I tried all the codecs (I currently have) in DVD2AVI.
Xvid: Well, that story's been told.
Divx 4 MPEG4: Crappy looking footage as always.
Divx 5.0.2: Success! But goodluck playing it. RAID card and Divx 5 don't get along very well.
No Recomression: Icky black nothingness.
Uncompressed: (system error)

Yes a small list, if you can think of a good codec that might work please drop me a note.

Yeah, I think so. Damn thing. That's it I'm buying a new Mac!
I even tried to convert to MPEG1 and 2 with TMPGEnc with no success. It does the same thing, recognizes the file then goes all black upon the initial burn. As for dirrect vob imports to premiere.. My pc (always has) avisynth gives me a 48 hour window to finish my video, if not done by then, T.S. And it won't work again untill my next format. I hate PCs, my mac never gives me this much shit. It never gives me ANY shit.

Find DVD2AVI 1.86, if you can't AIM me and I can provide!

Thanx, I'll give that a shot!

You can get it here:

http://www.divx-digest.com/software/dvd2avi.html

Get #2, "DVD2AVI - Gloval modified version"

I would direct link, but divx-digest doesn't allow it.

That usually happens when you use HuffYUV for lossless RGB compression, but its strength lies within the YUV-Compression.
Go to the codec-options and change the the upper right box to "<-- Convert to YUY2" .

DVD2AVI previous to 1.86 doesn't like YUV. I forgot if it worked with HuffYUV in RGB mode. I think it did. It seemed DVD2AVI was shoving RGB data to huffYUV even though huffYUV wanted YUV. -_-

Not sure, that's what I made out of the garble from the debug console atleast.
