UPDATE
So I pulled the ATI card–however before I did this- a new driver was released and I noticed a big difference in playback (even across 4 monitors). I found on Craigslist two nVidia Quadro 3400 cards for $25. One of the cards has a broken capacitor–however I did throw the working card into my machine and noticed a difference immediatley.
I also spent the $200 to pick up a Blackmagic Intensity card. So im down to two monitors for application window and a third (preview) playback attached to the Blackmagic. It is running smooth now–and I am finally editing in CS4.Anyone know of a electronics repair shop so I can get this second Quadro card running? The component that is chipped is too small for me to solder

Shane,
Well, interesting indeed….after reading your post I updated the drivers on video cards.
I was however a bit confused when I said I had an ATI card…I had removed that long ago. I actually am using the NVIDIA Quadra FX1300 which came with the system.
Indeed there has been a recent driver release, and I updated it.
Immediately after rebooting and starting CS4, like you I noticed a huge improvement in the video playback. There was no more choppy video in the program window….it was real time!
Now emboldened but slightly hesitant….I tried adding video into the Source window.
The good news is……I can NO LONGER make it crash! No matter what I did, I could not get the application to crash!
The bad news is….the video still will not appear in the source window.
However, I learned a buch of new things, the Source window now opens all clips that are NON .M2T format. They open immediately without problems and in fact now that I can finally use that window, I am discovering all the features it has.
But the HD M2T files will not open…the screen remains grey and dislays parts of pull down menus that were used to try using the window. At least it does not crash. If I want to close it, I just click on the “x” and reopen the window again fresh.
It is obvious now that the problem lies with the video card. It seems that NVIDIA has resolved the problems with other formats, but still not with .M2T
Hope this helps others strugling with CS4.
Going to order the NVIDIA card you recommended and see if that clears everything up.
Have you tried using an .M2T file with that card in the Source window? Would like to know before I order the card….we work mainly with .M2T files.
Thanks

Hello Shane,
We have the same issues to get solutions. May I ask a relevant question as we have the same camera – Sony V1U (Great Camera!)
My HDV inputs into Premier CS4 (and also CS3), either direct from camera of via the GV-HD700 desk top HDV/DV recorder are NOT recognized by Premier as HDV quality.
The only way I can get Premier to accept the Capture footage is to change the settings in the Capture window to show…DV… then tapes are recognized and accepted – but come out in a DVD as HD. I want HDV outputs..
This sort of tells me that Premier will NOT accept HDV, even though both CS3 and CS4 state they DO accept HDV.
???? Am I missing a 3rd party capture card to enable Premier to recognoize HDV?? Or is my video card…NVIDIA gForce.
Advance thanks,
Larry

I have the same tapedeck… Go in the menu select “IN/OUT REC”. scroll down to “i.LINK CONV” select it. you can now turn “ON” or “OFF” the “i,LINK” (Firewire, IEEE). Make sure you unplug the firewire cable prior to switching the settings as per on screen instructions. After turning off the “i,LINK” feature, pluge the firewire cable back into the tape deck. set your capture settings in premiere to “SONY” and “standard”. this shoud do the trick.
