Exporting AVI that is usable in Virtualdub

Archived from groups: rec.video.desktop (More info?)

I suspect that having a vfw DV codec might fix your problem. Theres
an older free Panasonic DV codec out there somewhere. Canopus also
has a free decoder on their website somewhere. There are some others
out there too.

alternatively, you could save the video as an uncompressed (if you
have alot of HDD space) or better yet, download the Huffyuv codec and
save the video as huffyuv (even better) provided premiere lets you do
that.

As for deinterlace, I know theres a filter in Vdub called
"deinterlace" that does just that. I perfer an IVTC when possible
myself.
