When using adobe primer pro 1.5 to capture video from vcr / camcorder, etc, which format is used most widely by industry professionals for editing? For the last couple of years, Ive been capturing all my video using a canopus acedvio capture card. I just assumed that .avi was the only format I could capture in. I recently read somewhere that capturing in QT was a more common practice b/c of better quality and ease of scrubbing and editing in premier. NOt really sure how much truth there is to that and not even sure if I can capture in different formats. Are mpeg/qt/avi capture options a responsibility of the card or are there plugins in premier that will allow these diff. format captures?

If it is the card, I do not believe the acedvio allows anything else other than .avi. Could someone suggest another capture card that could capture in several formats and is compatible with premier pro?

Thanks!
