hi,

i'm using Premiere Pro 1.5 at work to import 2-4 large (10+ Gig) .avi files which consists of traffic camera footage, resizing and combining them side by side in the same video so that footage from all of the cameras can be viewed at the same time, adding a title and then exporting a .mov file that needs to be under 4 gigs in order to fit on a data DVD.

the problem i'm having is intermittant pixelation in some - but not all - of the video frames. this comes and goes, and appears to be random as to which frame it affects - sometimes one will be unreadable while the rest are fine, other times all 4 video frames will be completely obscured by pixelation. as we need to be able to read number plates from these videos i need to get rid of this pixelation.

the settings i'm using to export the .mov file are as follows (i have to keep the filesize below 4 gigs):

(Video)
Compressor: MPEG4 Video
Frame Size 720 x 480
Frame Rate 12.50
Pixel Aspect Ratio: D1/DV PAL (1.067)
Quality 100%
Limit Data Rate to 700k/s
no Recompress

(Keyframe and Rendering)
Fields : No Fields (Progressive Scan)
Keyframe every 1 frames

since the .avis i'm using are directly from DVR HD recorders they're entirely uncompressed and are not pixelated in the slightest, so it must be something that i'm doing wrong in premiere. i've sort of been thrown in at the deep end here as i've never used it before or done any sort of video editing for that matter, so any help would be greatly appreciated

thanks
