You three were all right. I had NOT rendered it yet and that was my problem. Here is what I did to rectify that (just in case someone else has similar problems.)
1) I took the raw footage that I had in .avi format and broght it into a new Premier project.
2) I then went to File> Export Timeline >Movie
2a) Go to the setting button and make sure that the "File Type" is Microsoft DV avi.
3) Name the File whatever and put it somewhere.
4) After it is done rendering open a new Premiere project and Open the file you just named "whatever" in step 3 and bring it into the timeline.
5) The only way I could get it onto my DV tape was to File >Export Timeline >Export to Tape and then check the "Activate recording deck" option and use the "Assemble at timecode" and then put in the timecode on my tape where I wanted it to start recording to. I had the camera in set to VCR and prestriped the timecode by recording a bit of blank footage. I put the preroll at 20 frames for the hell of it.
6) then hit record.
Worked like a charm!!

1. Switch the camera to 'VCR' mode
2. Press the 'Record' button on the camera (not the 'Record' button you use when you record in 'Camera' mode)
3. Sit back and relax!
P6.0/6.5 didn't have the correct DV controllers for my camera model, so I had to press 'record' manually on the camera to 'export to tape'.
I'm assuming your camera has DV->IN, right? It is capable of recording from firewire?

I am using a DCR-TRV33. I tried to use the File >Export Timeline >Print to Tape and Exprot to tape without using the "Activate recording deck" feature and then just hit the record button, but for some reason it would not record. A big "FULL" and a box with a line through it came up on my camera's screen. *shrug*
Thanks for the help everyone!
