Sony HDV->DV in PPro not working?

[Redgum]

I think the problems with the HC1 have been discussed in detail before. Do a search or have a look in the HDV section.

Apart from this thread I don’t get one hit with “HC1” as a search term. In any forum here at the Cow. And this is really a Premiere Pro problem and belongs here since I can capture the downconverted mpeg stream with a simple application like Windows Movie Maker.

Can this be a confusion i Premiere Pro when Cineform is involved? Does Cineform confuse Premiere Pro from knowing if it’s dealing with a DV device or a HDV device? I can capture regular HDV from the camera but the downconversion doesn’t work. The machine I’m working on right now is not really up to specs on editing HDV (I get drop frames – or rather “drop seconds” as we’ll be getting used to editing long GOP’s) so I would like to edit DV.

Well. The thing is I don’t have any problems capturing HDV. I’m having trouble capturing DV. I can’t use the HC1 as a regular DV source (with it’s VCR HDV->DV internal setting). I’ve checked the camera with EDIUS, Vegas, Windows Movie maker and Avid. All of them can handle the HC1 as a DV device. Premiere Pro can only handle the HC1 as a HDV device using the Cineform driver. It can’t handle it as a standard Sony DV device.
