I have been working for a while on this problem, and I'm stumped.
1) I started a project in premiere 6.5 on a Pinnacle DV500 DVD. All capturing was done there.
2) With half the project done VV4 +DVD came out with surround mixing and burning.
3) Exported single avi and 6 wav files from Premiere using Pinnacle codec.
4) Resolved black flash problems by splitting the avi file into 12 parts no larger than 500 Meg.
5) Now comes the problem. When I expand the timeline beyond frame level and look at it closely
a) A rendered mpeg2 compiant video stream (of multiple varieties) is slightly shifted to the right, with respect to the original frames in the timeline, increasing with the position of the cusor down the timeline. Also some frames are doubled in the rendered Mpeg
b) Watching the preview window as I go frame by frame, the timeline shows a proper progression of frames, (watching a leaf in the corner), but the preview window will double that same frame that was rendered, even though the timeline thumbnail shows the proper frame.
I have tried changing drop-frame/non-drop-frame settings in premiere and VV4 both, and have tried open dml/avi1.0, using pinnacle and windows dv codecs, and various standard and custom settings on Mpeg encoding.
It looks like VV4 is confused. Is there a difference how the timeline displays frames vs. preview window and rendering??
