Thank you for your reply, Neil I had to do some research to give more info: The computer has three internal hard drives. One HDD (C,E,F,H) is divided into partitions (which I called virtual drives - maybe not the right term). FAT32 Another HDD(I) has 33 GB free. NTFS A third HDD(J)also has 33 GB free. NTFS
It has 1,024MB of physical memory, 764MB of memory available, 2GB of virtual memory. The project files are in a folder on J. The Premiere 6.5 program is on C. I have tried exporting with the MPEG Encoder to drive J and also to drive I. Both times it started fast (about 6 frames/sec) and then slowed way down. After an hour, it said it had 3 hours to go. When I let it run longer, it said 17 hours to go. I viewed the M2V file after five hours and it was 9.5 minutes long. The WAV file of sound wouldn't play. I wonder if the audio is set incorrectly in the encoder. In the MPEG Settings Summary window, it says Audio Settings (PCM). Should it be MPEG Layer 2? I chose DVD for the MPEG Stream. Another question: the camcorder has to be on in order for me to edit. Now that I am through editing and trying to export to MPEG, should the camcorder be off? Does it need to be off before the project is loaded? Should I use NTSC 4x3, Medium Bitrate? I wish I knew what the default settings are.
