[Kelly Rinne]"or that I am using the wrong settings?"
Not so much the wrong settings, but maybe not the best process. I would use Windows Media File Editor (a small app that comes with Windows Media Encoder 9) to create 2 files, a small one for overlaying your title and a longer 3 hour 38 minute one. This is done without recomprssion.
Use Premiere to overlay a title on the short file and export this with the same settings as the source.
Then use a video joiner like Movie Joiner (rejump.com) to join the 2 sections together without recompression.

Hi Mike -
Thanks for the suggestion - I have used the WMEditor before, but it makes ugly graphics - what do I want when I want my titles/overlays to actually look professional & attractive?
Maybe I'm not understanding you - could I make the title files in Premiere Pro, and then just join them?
Way back when, we used to use Windows Movie Maker Windows Media Editor to create/encode/export files, and it was faster, but everything had a "home movie" look to it.

ok, I tried the stitch feature and it worked, (very cool) but it seemed to degrade the audio substantially, after I compared the saved file to the original?
