Premiere won't be the perfect video editor for your MPEG video. I have used Womble MPEG Wizard which is a native MPEG-2 editing program. It provides frame accurate editing. If most of your edit is cut and trim, that will be a better editor because it preserve the original quality. It only renders the area with filters, transition or superimpose title.
With premiere, it renders the entire video which cause a second generation loss of quality of the final result. Also, you can rename the final .mpg file back to .mod and have it played back in the camera you shot the footage. ----- Original Message ----- From: Stuart Godfrey To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, February 10, 2007 2:22 AM Subject: [AP] Re: hard disk camera I have successfully changed file name to mpg, how ever the footage was shot widescreen, in premiere with project set to widescreen pal 48 mhz the image on my timeline shows a black mask left and right of the image.

MPEG is a lossy compression format. So converting it back to AVI won't make it look better. but it makes it easier to edit in Premiere. > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Claudio Franzetti > To: [email protected] > Sent: Thursday, February 08, 2007 11:44 AM > Subject: Re: [AP] hard disk camera > > A question about this kind of cameras with hard disk: > > Can´t we extract .AVI files from the disk ?
