I have troubles with dropped frames when i capture my tapes using Adobe Premiere. So i end up with lots of smaller files.
I want to combine them again into a large file, so i have one scene in one file without re-encoding?
I could edit the clips into 1 file in Premiere, but what export settings would i then use so that i'm sure that no re-encoding takes places?
Thnx
edit: fixed typo in subject
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays! or rip iTunes movies!

Okay, i suspect that virtualdub might do the trick. But can i perform that cut&paste actions in premiere as well? (I'm used to that interface)

Hi aardbij,
Welcome to the forums.
Try WinDV to transfer your DV to PC. It's free, reliable and stable. You can only transfer using firewire.
Set WinDV up like this...
...to get each seperate clip into its own file, or set the "Discontinuity threshold" to zero to get the entire tape into one DV AVI file.
If you still want to use Premiere, then export as DV AVI for no loss.There is some corner of a foreign field that is forever England: Telstra Stadium, Sydney, 22/11/2003.
Carpe diem.

Thanks for your help. I really appreciate it.
I checked out WinDV and it worked like a charm. For me, it works even better then Premiere because it adds the orginal date/time stamp to downloaded scenes. Strangely, my premiere 6.5 doesn't provide anyway to get that stamp (not even in the file properties).
A small improvement for DV should be the play/stop/ff/rew buttons. I had to use the buttons on my camera.
About your suggestion on using the DV AVI export format. I assume that as long as i dont use any image manipulation (like transitions) but only simple cuts, i wont reencode and just direct-stream the clips into on bigger file?

Hope that helps...
P.S. Some tools you might find useful if you're interested in the timestamp:
DVdate
DVE Dv date
DV_Datecode
