I've experienced the same problem. I've found that specifying ffdv as the
codec with -vc ffdv fixes the problem for me. But that was the least of my
problems with large dv avi files generated by Premiere. My biggest problem
was that every 2Gb in the file there would be a video / audio distortion that
resulted in a distorted green image on the screen and a high pitched
screeching noise in the audio. It would last for about a second or so. I
never found a solution to that problem so I eventually started exporting the
video out of Premiere as a very high bitrate mpeg 2 file and then encoding
that with mencoder. I don't use Premiere anymore now since version .6 of Kino
was released and they fixed the audio distortion bug in exported dv avi
files. I've not had any problems with mencoder and large dv avi files created
with Kino. Hope this helps.
