Edit MPEG2 in Premiere...

[arminio]

I have DVD shot on a DVD camera and I need to edit it in Premiere (I still use PRO 2.0 because I have pretty old PC ).

I converted VOBs to DV-AVI with with DVD2AVI (usig Cedocida codec) but I have tons of problems - mainly with color spaces (picture is too dark or too bright when pixelation in dark parts is very visible while original DVD has the same brighness and no pixelation). Can anybody post some suggestions how to proppery convert VOBs to DV-AVI to get maximum quality picture? Or suggest any other codec that can produce better results than DV-AVI (I tried huffyuv and it looks better but still not much )

don't encode to a different format. use something like vob2mpg to change the container from vob to mpeg-2.

Editing in native MPEG2 using some editing tool like Powerdirector for MPEG2 files is fine solution to this problem but in this case that's not an option because I need to add some FX with After Effects so I need to convert it to something that AE can proccess.
