Hi Folks!
Well I'm still tooling around with Premiere and I have a question for the Adobe Jedis. I've been reading on line that DV-AVI is the best format to work with in Premiere Pro. I work mostly with VOBs, de-noising rough video, fixing up VCD and VHS rips of materials I have, or doing color correction on DVD's. There's info like this that I've been reading:

He writes:
"The format you need to convert your VOBs to for use in Premiere Pro is "DV Avi. Anything else is inferior."
On the forums, I've read this in the Elements FAQ

He writes:
"A good rule of thumb is that, whenever possible, you should use DV-AVIs as your video source."
And there's this thread titled "Getting your files into DV-AVI format"
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/473041
Here it says that "the advice I’ve received on the forum suggests the best file format to edit in is DV-AVI Type II."
This all has me wondering if I should be converting my VOBs to DV-AVI Type II files in something MPEG streamclip, and then editing and exporting them as an MPEG2-DVD format? I think working with VOBs is okay, but now I'm not sure. Any advice would be really appreciated!
Thanks!
