Premiere Pro "direct stream copy"?

[Colmino]

Somebody already asked this one a while back, but the answer he got seemed based on a misinterpretation of what he was asking (the answer was, essentially, to save as raw).

I've got several dozen ~14 to 28 GB DV files, which I am systematically scouring for choice clips. When I only find one or two, I go ahead and use VDub to isolate and save them piecemeal, using the Direct Stream Copy option which saves the clip as the original data, without decompression or recompression. But when a given video has dozens of useful clips, I prefer to use Premiere Pro, because its more solid editing UI makes things faster (even counting the sluggish performance caused by PPro's unavoidable need to find peak values for the whole video, which takes hours), and also because I like to keep things in their proper context, and having each clip strung together as one whole is a good way of accomplishing that.

Now, what I seem to be missing is Premiere Pro's counterpart to VDub's Direct Stream Copy. A simple enough function. "Don't do anything to the data; just gimme." So far, though, I've found several flavors of compression, and one uncompressed option. In the interest of convenience, speed and storage space, I'm hoping to avoid having to save everything as raw for the time being. So it would be nice if somebody could point out the doubtless obvious option I am nonetheless missing.

And big thanks to all the folks who have been helping me out with this project!

If you output as DV, without using any filters on the video and audio, Premiere should pass the footage through untouched.

You could also try performing your task in an audio editor, like Goldwave. In similar circumstances, that's what I use.

Yeah, just do your Premiere export the same file type as the source, and make sure you don't have any "recompress" options selected.

If you want to get original, than do what guns1inger suggest. The file will be the same size as original.
If you want to save space, you will have to compress.
