changing codec in premier

[nukegumbo]

Is there a way to change the codec of an avi file in premier?

I have some avi files I want to send to my camcorder but it will not do it because they are the wrong codec.

Go File>Export Timline>Movie. Click Settings. Choose video in the top drop down box (the default is General). Now you can change the compressor.

It works but the video is not as good as it was.
thanks

Try exporting to DV.

Go File>Export Timline>Movie. Click Settings. Now in general choose MS AVI DV.
