Whats the best way to split up this Video....

[pochrist]

I'm new at this so bear with me, I'm using Adobe premere 6 I recently captured a home video through fire wire to a DV format with Adobe, Edited, added transtions & titles and used "panasonic" plug in to convert it to MPEG1. But to my surprise it's too big for 1 VCD, so I have to break it up. I'm confused as to what will give the best quality at this point, I intend to add new title at the end and begining should I 1). Split the MPEG1, add new title and out put again to MPEG1. OR 2). Split the DV file and output to the MPEG1. I kinda feel that using the DV my be best because, I think things get lost during compression/conversion, and maybe DV-to-MPEG1 might yeild better results then DV-to-MPEG1-to-MPEG1. But I'm not sure.. any help would be a time saver.

To save time and maintain quality, I'd suggest MyFlix. Its a miracle for splitting MPEG files.

(download plain old MyFlix. I've yet to try the XE)

All you do is import your one big mpeg, cut it up how you want, and it exports new MPEGs quickly and with the exact same quality as your initial file. I would probably assume that is alot faster and more conveinient than splitting it up in Premiere before exporting to MPEG.

You can then use the mpeg pieces you got from MyFlix to do whatever you like.

Hope that helps.
