Yeah, 6.5 is pretty buggy like that.

Sorry I don't have the answer... but how long of a "test" clip can you export without it screwing up? If you can do 15 minute chunks, maybe you can put them back together in another NLE or compressor and reexport? You'll loose some quality, but at least it'll work...

You're not putting any compression on it, are you? Cause I'd try and make it as close to "raw" as possible and then re-encode with Procoder or something.

I've stopped trying to use Premiere to export web-ready clips- I just whip off a DV master copy (but I'm in NTSC if it makes a difference) and then re-encode somewhere else.

Thanks for the support.

Will I lose much quality in Premiere 6.5 if I export it in 15 minute segments Microsoft DV Avi and then put them all together in a new project and export again?

Not too, too much. As long as the output file from premiere is as close to source, raw as possible. No compression on audio or video until you plug it into Procoder or something.

This sounds ridiculously complicated.

Heh.
