Thank you Uwe, I tried your idea of exporting to a different drive, but got the same results. It started exporting frames at a rate of about 6 per second, but then slowed way down. There are three drives in the computer. Adobe Premiere is on drive C which is a FAT32 drive and is subdivided. The other two drives are NTFS and are not divided. The files I generated with my project are on one of the NTFS drives. The folder is 11GB and there are 33GB free on each of the NTFS drives before trying to export.
When I click on stop, Premiere does not respond and I have to go to CTR_ALT_DEL. Don't know if that is significant. It is still increasing in frames processed at that point, just very, very slowly. I want to burn a DVD but could do a VCD or SVCD maybe. Would that be worth trying? Should the Audio be set for PCM or for MPEG Layer2? Is NTSC 4x3 Medium Bitrate okay and a variable bit rate? I wish I knew what the default settings are. I need the camcorder on for editing, even after the video is captured. (The video in this project was done on an analog computer, but the camcorder/Canopus card converts it to digital.) Should the camcorder be on when exporting? It doesn't appear to need to be. Could one option be to transfer the project to a faster computer for exporting? It would be difficult to attach the camcorder and there wouldn't be a capture card in the other computer.
