Anyone good with Premiere Pro?

[MrCodeDude]

I converted some Analog video to Digital using a Dazzle converter.

I've editted some stuff and such, I have maybe 5 minutes of actual footage with a video camera and maybe another minute of text or pictures with text on them.

Now that I'm done, time to export the movie. I used the option Windows AVI and under compression, decided DiVX would probably be fastest and most convienent. It took maybe 20 minutes to render the movie in DiVX, yet, everytime I tried to go into the folder, Windows Explorer would crash.

I shared the folder over the network, and when I pulled the file from that computer to my lappy, Windows Explorer crashed again. I eventually was able to play the file by turning off this DEP protection or whatever, but I have to put this on a school laptop and don't want any hassles. Plus, the video rendered like crap.

Anyway, I decided to use the default Codec (Radius or something) this time and now it's saying it's going to take 2 hours to render a 6 minute video?

Is there a codec I should get that would make things faster/better? Am I overlooking a setting? Two hours seems a little absurd.

Use the DV codec

edit: and you shouldn't need to recompress the video at all either, other then the frames that you edited with text etc.
