Premiere Pro CS3 Capture Problems
I am very new to this so I apologise if my post is very simple or a stupid mistake, thanks in advance for any feedback you can give me.
When I try to capture from a MiniDV camcorder in Premiere Pro CS3 however the capture window shows odd blocks appearing all over the image in different places, like digital interference on digital tv. If I capture like this the video plays back with the interference, regardless of which player I use (VLC, windows media or in PP). It also reports many frames are dropped.
I have tried with 2 different Cameras, with the same result. I have checked all the basic settings such as making sure the project settings are setup for PAL (I am based in the UK). I also get exactly the same result when trying to capture from other programs, such as WinDV and DV Capture.
Although less important, if I do capture the distorted image in Premiere, when in the source window, the timecode starts at 8:06:40:00 running to 00:00:02:02.
I have no idea where to start in solving this problem, so any help on what I should do next is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

MORE INFO: If I turn off the Preview Settings, ie. so the capture window is black and capture the footage then the file is recorded without the blocky marks, however the timecode is still wrong and premiere struggles, sometimes crashed to play it.
Still no idea

Dropping frames on capture is a deal breaker and must be solved first. Do we assume the footage plays back fine in the camera?

Virus/spyware scanners are often the cause and should be removed.
