For the Internet I am creating a 20min Video based on a simple
Powerpoint Slideshow with spoken Text.

How did I do it? Simple:
I saved the Slids as small .jpg's (with 400x300 px (as this should play
in a window with about 350x255 px) build my movie in Premier Pro1.5
importing the .jpg's into Premier and saved this as .wmv!
The result is unsharpness in the slides specially visible where text is
used!

WHY? Certainly there is a very well explainable reason for this

I would export the PPT sildes at the native resolution of the
video project (740x480 for NTSC, for example) in order to
avoid additional upscale/downscale conversion artifacts.

Sorry to ask again but as complete nebie to this:
Would that mean - as I do export the video not to NTSC but via Adobe
Media Encoder as .wmv
(Windows Media Video 8 for local Area Network (256 Kbps) with a Rame
Width/Height of 320/240 pixels) that I should export the .jps as exectly
this size 320/240 ?

When you start a new project, Premiere asks you for format. More than
likely you're selecting the default, i.e. 720 x 480 NTSC. When your jpegs
are imported they are scaled up to this resolution. When you export to
wmv they are scaled down. It's the multiple scaling that is causing the
fuzziness. As Richard suggested, export the Power Point slides to 720 x
480 -- that way they won't be scaled up when you edit them in Premiere.

OK Thanks for your answer but:
This means - and as I did not use Default NTSC but DV-PAL Standard 32KHZ
that the resolution is 720x576 right?
