PremPro 2.0 + Clips w/Audio

[yunafire.livejournal.com]

Yes, I know. Audio attached to clips is the big major no-no. And, usually, I don't work with them - in fact, rarely do I ever. But. I'm working on a vid now and there's places in the song that would fit well with dialog.

Thing is, I'm using Premiere Pro 2.0, and grabbing my clips via VirtualDub. All the methods I've tried to get a clip with sound have led to massive fail. Mainly because Premiere Pro will only accept Uncompressed Avi or HuffyUV.

I've tried...

1) saving clip as huffyuv, saving audio seperate, combining both in PremPro. Unsynched.
2) saving clip as uncompressed, saving audio, seperate... save as 1).
3) keeping source clip/audio, saving as xvid. Xvid is jittery in PremPro.


So, a clip w/audio in Premiere. At all possible? Maybe some work-around? Thanks.

Help needed for a friend

[littleheaven70.livejournal.com]

I have a pro-writer friend who is making vids to go with her books, and she's having some technical issues with her software.  I have no answers, but hoped someone here might have a helpful suggestion or two.

It seems she is unable to run her editing program (Sony Vegas) for more than 10 minutes without it crashing.  Now the sound has disappered from not only Vegas, but her whole computer.  Anyone had these issues before?  She thinks it might be a Vista problem (although her version of Vegas is supposed to be Vista compatible).

In case it helps, these are her specs:
HP Pavilion dv9000
AMD Turion 64x2 1.6ghz
958 RAM
32-Bit Operating System
Running Windows Vista

So far the only advice I've had for her is "buy a Mac" so if anyone could come up with a less expensive solution, she'd me most grateful.
