Adobe Premiere Pro Export Problems

[gavbrad]

I've captured some video from my Sony Handycam into Premiere Pro (version 7). The video clip is widescreen, just over 6 minutes and is 1.30 gig in size.

I want to export it into a quicktime file, to place on the internet. But everytime I use Premieres export feature either the video will come out in full screen, pixilated and still 1.30gig or it will come out as a file which is 5 or 6k in size and will not open. I am only using the preset options in Premiere.

Any ideas where I'm going wrong

OS Windows XP Home
P4 2.6 Gig

You're WAY below the recommended 1GB of ram to run PPro. So that might be the source of the failed 5k encodes.

I don't know about the wide to full screen issue, a good place to ask about that is

As for ideal good PPro QT export settings for the web, people suggested the following on another web site.

--------

"Export out of quicktime to a quicktime movie.
Video:
Choose the mpeg4 codec,
set it to 62 quality, and
set key frame distance to 75
Frame rate 15
Use Qualcomm or QDesign for audio depending on if it's voice or music, note one of these these have options in PPro that include optimizing for streaming.
