I'd say convert it to a different (Losless) codec first, premiere + xvid is indeed trouble most of the time....

i'm really short on free space i need to use 28 episodes for video source
i can't even imagine how big they'll become with a lossless

Then I can't help you, next time try using legal DVD footage instead of downloaded things? xD

is dvd footage supposed to be small sized when compressed with lossless

Of course, just don't forget to change the resizing to 100X100 XD I'm just saying that it gives less trouble.

If you are short on space you might want to make short lossless clips from the scenes you want. Try lagarith codec. It should give you the most sane filesize for lossless.
Saving up for a new harddrive might be the easiest and most convinient solution though, if you don't want to make clips. Wich I would very much understand. I hate making clips myself. ^^; (Although it does has benefits beyond saving space.)

Can we please have a 'Don't Put DivX/Xvid Into Premiere, It Is Like Feeding Oatmeal To Your VCR And Daddy Will Hit You' Sticky?

i have history with divx/xvid and really don't need posts like these

i don't have a godly hdd nor i like making clips
so i guess i'll try lagarith and if it doesn't work i'll make things work somehow alone
as i do most of the time
