I noticed a problem too on my pc. Actually my problem has to do with the analog output device of my Pinnacle capture card in co-op with Premiere 6.5. I'm working with a Pinnacle DV-plus card and I'm using Premiere 6.5. If I print to video in Premiere I also get a black screen. Although, when I export my video (avi) in Studio 7.0 (or higher) I can choose to transport it throughout my Analog Output port. So the output on my card works. But I hate working with Pinnacle Studio. Can anybody tell me if there's some software or a plugin for analog output for Premiere around that works fine with Pinnacle cards??

Also I got a question about converting AVI files to another format without loss of quality. I read the message from this person who's wrestling with his wedding video. He was doubting about wich converter/codec to use for his movie. Recently I finished editing a 1-hour movie. Now I know that if I export the movie in AVI file format it will eat about 15 to 19 gb of harddisc. That's o.k., got enough space on my harddisk. That's not my issue. I wonder if there's a good file convertor/encoder around (I heard a lot about the Tsunami MPEG encoder; is it good and reliable?) My pc is not able to playback a 19 gb film at once. And I want to store it on DVD. So how is it possible that proffesional movies fit on just one DVD without losing any quality?? When I use the Premiere 6.5 MPEG encoder I always get jerky image quality with stripes and bad audio quality. And I don't get any better result if I turn my setting to a higer bitare. Only uncompressed AVI file-format is good. Is this normal? I'm desperate...
I hope somebody has an answer to these questions. (Sorry for my English, it's not to good at the moment. I'm tired and I'm Dutch
