I've taken a couple of hours to read through your video guides and I have two questions remaining.

For Klinky-san, How do I take a piece of video that I didn't personally encode and find out what codec it's from?

for myself. What's causing the delay inside premere 6?

I'll provide any information you need.

Download Virtual Dub.
You can google for it, or probably find a link to it on www.doom9.org
Open your clips in Virtual Dub, and select File Information.
The codec used will be listed there, along with lots of other information.

The lag/frame instability you describe is likely caused by premiere using direct show filters to decode the video, which are not frame accurate.

You can also use Virtual Dub to select clips that you want to use, and convert them to HuffYUV format, which should hopefully clear up the problem you describe.

What FurryCurry said. If you're editing from AVI files which are DivX then you're running into keyframeing issues which is why stuff is being weird, and in that case you should also convert to huffyuv.

my brain digested what I read last night. glad to know it's just my source video and not my computer. I have it on DVD... I should probably buy a video capture card and capture my own video from now on to avoid this (pretty sure I read huffyuv can be used to capture, I'll have to re-read that part)

as I was going to bed it hit me that key frames made sense to what I was seeing. So basicly the source video I have was made as a finished product and made to save space. It's all forming together now...

also on virtural dub. I found it as a plug in, is this what I want or should I keep looking for a stand alone program? trying the plug in as I type this.

VirtualDub is a standalone program.

You can download it at www.virtualdub.com
