yup, splicing two AVIs together is part of the editing process as far as Adobe are concerned. Can't really say I disagree with them either.

BTW do you have any tips on storage.

I did hear that you can save just the trimmed clips in Prem Pro and free up some Gb on the hard drive.
The project manager in Premiere Pro 1.5 does this hansomly and can save tons of disk space

What do you guys do?
I make sure I keep a log of the capture process so it can be reproduced at will. Then, as long as I keep the original MiniDV tapes I do not need to back up the captures. I then just need to archive off the project itself (and intermediate stages of production) and the capture information. I can usually get a project directory of 10-12Gb down to 2 or 3Gb which will fit on a recordable DVD - by not archiving the captures themselves.
