My guess is your editing in a codec like divx or mpeg.

What exactly are you doing?

What method are you using to get your DVDs ripped?

Are you following the guides?

Are you making little clips in virtualDub?

How fast is a "quite a fast computer"?

If you're trying to edit directly from those DVD-quality AVIs, it'll stutter and chug along like a Trabant. It's just too much info to cram through the program smoothly.

On my P4-1.3GHz I use the "bait-and-switch" method to make low-quality work files, and then swap them at the end with the pristine DVD rips. Smooth as silk with the work files, but a wallowing hog with the HQ ones.

Define 'quite fast.'

This is really easy and has little to do with processor power. First, go to your project video settings and choose a nice, fast codec (something like Indeo video 5.04). Now, make sure the little bar on the top of the timeline stretches over your entire video. Next, do project>render selection and prepare to wait while Premiere creates preview files. Once it's done you'll be able to scrub your timeline smoothly. For any other questions on this topic, consult the manual or help file.

That will only work if he's using a pre-rendered preview section. Stuff that has yet to be rendered will not be encoded in Indeo and would be slow and choppy.

No klinky. Render selection creates preview files for every non-rendered section based on the project settings. Since, by his description, none of his files are rendered then this will create preview files for the entire selection area.

...just hit fooking "Enter". That easy. It may take a while if you have tons of effects or something, but on my Athlon 1700+, it takes 5 minutes for 1min. 25sec. of video/audio and a few effects to render for the Preview.
