I used to do it the same way. Let me give you some advice champ.
1. Buy Sorenson Squeeze.
2. Buy VideoCharge.
Process your full length DV AVI and convert them to HQ WMV. You can batch process 5/10/15+ at a time overnight while you sleep. Then once all are completed, you import them into VideoCharge.
Now import them all into VC. Watermark all of them. Once done, then go back and choose the option to cut clips, without re-rendering. This will cut dat shit up like hotcakes and fast. Now done.
3. Save the full length converted DV AVI/WMV in a special folder for additional renders later. ***Also you can save money on the program(s) if you are a college student and fax in your college I.D..
That is the best way to do batch renders that I have found (thanks Jim Gunn). However, you are free to try other methods if you like shimmy sham. Peace and good luck.
