1) Cannot transcode DIVX avi source files. Transcoder just hangs. Currently, must convert all DIVX avi source files to DV avi. 2) DV source files will transcode properly. 3) Use NTSC Progressive High Quality 7Mb VBR 2 Pass PCM encoding. 4) Raw Premiere Projects exported as DV have out of focus text banners. So, export to DV, convert to high quality DIVX, then take that DIVX file and convert it to DV. Use this DV file as the source file, and everything will look great.
