trouble with capture
I am having trouble getting capture to work. When I play back the capture I only get a single shot of jagged pixels. Drivers are updated, good fast processor, plenty of drive space. If I use HDV split to capture, it shows the capture working, can even see the preview while recording, but result is screen shot and audio, but no video. Using Intel 965 express chipset video on Dell M1330 laptop with 4 g ram, and Intel Core 2 Extreme Mobile Processor X7800 2.6GHZ 4M 800MHZ OEM CPU. Camera is Canon Vixia HV30, connection is firewire connection. Premiere is not recognizing the camera. Any ideas?

Check in the “Device Manager” the camera will show up in the “Sound, Video and Game Controller” section as a “AV/C tape Device”, best way to check is have the cam off connect to the computer and turn in on in the Playback mode and you should see it popup in the device manager, make sure that you see [HDV] on the cams lcd screen and also a HDV/DV when the ilink is connected.
In Ppro in the capture window under settings you have “DV/HDV Device Control” selected and device a “Canon Standard”, you are not trying to capture HDV to the internal drive? you should be capturing to a external USB2 or eSATA drive, or to a second internal drive if your laptop can hold one, if everything is set right you should see video in the capture’s window when playing the tape in the cam, this will disappear when you start recording
BTW you didn’t include what version of Ppro you are using.
