Jerky video when rendering an mpeg2

[CC2]

I've captured some old family videos from VHS to my computer. My goal is to convert these videos to DVD. The capture file is in MPEG2 format at 720x480 29.97fps NTSC. I'm using a Dazzle product to do the capture. When I play the captured mpeg with WINDVD it plays perfectly. No dropped frames, perfect quality. I'm then bringing the video into Adobe Premiere 6.0 and doing some editing. (adjusting contrast, titles, etc). Then I go to export the timeline to a movie. No matter what format I render to (MPEG2 using LSX-MPEG, Microsoft AVI, etc) the finished project is terrible. When played back in windvd or media player the video looks like it's at 8 frames a second. My computer is a PIII 700MHZ, 128MB ram, IDE HD, 8MEG video card. I was always under the impression that the slower your computer was, the longer it would take to render the video, but you would not lose quality. Am I wrong here? Do I need a faster computer? Or is the speed of the system irrelevant and I should look into other possible sources to my problem.

Thanks for your help!

well, I'm nt really in the video-editing bussiness... but i think you did something wrong in that abobe program... Saved some wrong setts or sumtin like that... that IS the reason of the problem, it can't be anything else...
You're asking if your computer speed does matter... well, it doesn't, like you are thinking, the slower your computer is, the slower the conversion goes... but, it doesn't change the quality of your video... (I know, cuz a long long time ago, it even worked fine with a P-166, terrible, it took 2 days to convert, but the quality was good)

Sorry to say that, but i think you messed up your video in that Abobe thing...

Great thanks! That answers my question. I'll hunt around for some solutions to my quality issues when I render a mpeg from Premiere. I'm new to rendering mpegs and didn't know if I needed a faster system. Thanks again.
