Your first question. Someone once said they're indexing points within the video; I would surmise that to be numerous points.
Your second question. I was wondering whether these are the cache files???? I've never heard anyone say. Regarding fixing things in CS4, let's pray these programmers aren't included in the 400 (or whatever) being "excessed".

Even when the portable drive has the same letter on each computer, Premiere insists on re-indexing if the drive has been sullied by another computer. To add insult to injury, Premiere will insist on re-indexing even on a single computer if for some reason the drive has its letter re-assigned. I had that happen 9 months ago when I added a second portable drive that bumped the letter assignments up. Premiere insisted on re-indexing a drive it had already indexed, a process that took 16 hours because I had hours of video in the project. What a brain-dead design! I hope it's fixed in CS4, but don't have high hopes. I wonder just what's in the indexing files Premiere takes so long to generate and where they're stored? You'd hope they'd be in a specified scratch disk location so they'd be in the same directory as the project, but there seems instead to be a mystery directory somewhere that we have no control over.
