lag in premere

maybe I'm just crazy I don't know.. I'm running the following:

Adobe Premere 6
Windows xp
Geforce 4 4200 with 64 megs of DDR RAM
512 megs of DDR ram on the motherboard
1.3 gig Athalon chip
40 gig IDE hard drive that accesses at 7200 rpm this drive has a 10 gig partition dedicated to this project alone. it contains the full movie I'm working with only.

For some reason with this set up I can't seem to go frame by frame in adobe it keeps shuddering between one or two frames when I try. yet the position of the film really has moved, which can be proven by pressing play. There is also a delay when trying to move the marker through the edited content as we as a brief delay changing scenes. this is very fustrating and making video editing extremely difficult. Any help anyone could offer would be greatly appreciated.

I'm using an mpeg so I'm using divix. maybe I just need a better codec?

MPEG and DivX are two totally different things. I think you should read the video guides (in my sig) before asking any more questions.

Taken from: http://www.divx.com/support/faq.php

Q: What is DivX™?
A: DivX™ is the brand name for the patent-pending, premium-quality, MPEG-4 video compression technology developed by DivXNetworks, Inc.. It allows you to create and watch videos with very high visual quality and relatively low file sizes. DivX™ makes it possible, for the first time, to effectively move high-quality video files over the Internet.

please read the divx website before trying to help ErMac, I know MPEG is a codec which Divx supports. Can you help me? or do you only have a readme?

You're speaking into a brickwall with that crap.

DivX is based on MPEG technology, but it is not the same format as traditional MPEG. They are VERY different. If anybody knows it, Ermac does.

So you just treated the wisest of AMV sages like a n00b. For real, read his guides.

And yes use a different codec. Why? Read his guides.

I'm not being an ass, just trust them and even lil old me on this one.

and all this could have been avoided if someone would have only said "use a different codec"....

respect is a two way street.

I appologize if I talked to him like he was a noob.. but he could have been nicer to me.

And stupidity is a one-way sign on that same street.

Alright, despite the fact that I could do my usual スーパー・フレーム・バスタ・スイチ・オン！ routine I won't and just try to be civil.

I was suggesting you read the guides because you obviously did not grasp the differences involved, and were apparently using DivX as your editing codec which is a big no-no.

MPEG itself is a standards comittee (the Motion Picture Experts Group). They define various standards including those surrounding video and audio compression as well as containers for streams encoded using their and other methods.

If you are "using an MPEG" that means you are using a file that's encoded in a standard MPEG container, i.e. a .mpg, .mpeg, .vob, .mp4, etc file. DivX files are encoded using .AVI as their transport by default (and I took a really wild guess and figured you did not encode the .mp4's for editing with since, well, you can't currently). Therefore, you saying "I'm using an mpeg so I'm using divix." - even excusing the typo - makes no sense.

DivX is an implementation of an MPEG4 video codec (albeit a grossly incomplete one) that can be used in an AVI file format. It is shit for editing with. It throws away 1/4 of the chroma data, it uses heavy interframe compression, and it's buggy to work with in Premiere and other editing programs.

Regardless of whether you knew what you were talking about, you should not be editing in MPEG or DivX. They're meant to be distribution codecs, not editing codecs.

And please don't patronize me by posting PR hype out of a company's "FAQ". Otherwise I will be forced to spit information comparing Quantizer matrices at you until your head explodes.

In conclusion, I repeat - I suggest you read the guides in my sig before continuing because it is OBVIOUS you do not know what you are talking about.
