The reason for the area is that some overseas cams have DV-in blocked for tax reasons.
In “My Computer” do you see a cam listed under “Scanners and Cameras” if not make sure the firewire is connected, the cam is on in the VCR/VTR mode? if listed in My Computer check the following,
In Ppro, Do you have the proper cam selected? “Edit” dropdown menu-> Preferences ->Device Control -> have “DV/HDV Device Control” selected in the Devices window, In the “Options” window next to the Devices window, you select your cam brand and model, if model is not listed one of the standard or alternate selections, you will also notice a Check Status: button, to the right is either Online or Offline,?? -
[Cadge31] “Each drive has it’s own port on the firewire card”
Some firewire cards only have one addressable port and two or three recept. acting as a hub for the single port and can cause problems.
[Cadge31] ” My primary internal drive is a 80GB seagate SATA. I guess I could do a test project on the primary drive and see if I have the same issue.”
If you are going to do a project on a system drive you could possibly end up with similar problem. -

[George Lucasade] “Searched my computer for third party capture cards and there arn`t any”
It has nothing to do with third party cards, but third part drivers, which can be loaded by trial software, enbedded firewire ports, etc. since you decline to provide other information I would suggest you pay a local person to look at your system, The major cause of the problems you are having are usually drivers, second: multiple devices on the firewire line, third: USB capture devices and drivers, since most of they have been covered, ???

There have been many attempts at using subliminal messages to influence people with little effect, from advertising to behavior modification, popular are self-help tapes, the link below sumerises it.

You May have other than Microsoft Direct Show Capture Filters on your machine, if you have loaded any other video software that uses third party capture filters may be causing the problem, best thing is to go to Adobe’s support site Ppro section and search for your error message per’se, there should be a couple of solutions to use to find the filters and disable them

When you first open Ppro the first splash screen it will ask you if you want an old project or a new one, if a new one then it will give you a set of parameters to choose from, like DV-NTSC with sub choices of standard or wide scree with the sample rate of the audio you are using, then name the project and continue and open the program, the use the edit dropdown menu select perferences and setup your scratch disks etc, then select the project dropdown and select the general and usually most choices are greyed out except the safe areas and the playback settings which you can set to suit yourself. then select capture and set DV capture in. when you select F5 to capture and the window appears select the Setting Tab go down to Device control select Options then set Video Standard, Brand, Type time code auto or dropframe, if the cam is connected and is recognized in My computer under imaging device and scanners it should say online next to the check status button, proceed back to the logging window set names, try running the cam contols from below the capture screen, and proceed.

[George Lucasade] “I am able to capture useing Windows MovieMaker and Firewire.The problem is i have been unable to capture with Adobe 1.5.”
Only means the firewire connection is ok, not that the setup of Ppro is ok, hence the questions about what you are doing, or not doing.[George Lucasade] “I am always shown the window to ask which software i would like to use.”
If you use the options shown in the pop-up window they only steer to a particular program, they have nothing to do with the setup of the program, Movie Maker is a simple program that uses very generic camera control settings, if you use Premiere you have to set the Device Control options in advance for the proper cam and model or appropriate standard settings to be able to get the fine control for more sophisticated capture options.
What you should do when the Pop-up window shows is to cancel it and open premiere and verify that your project is setup right and device contol options are correct first before trying to capture. -
[general buckwheat] “my camera is a sony DCR-HC21”
What are the device control options settings you are using? How are you trying to capture, via USB or Firewire?Are you getting a error message about the Peak file when you import the Ulead DV to the timeline? or when rendering the file for use in premiere, Ulead captures Type 1 AVI, Premiere uses type 2,
Peak files are usually audio waveform files, usually used by audio software that have expanded waveforms to speed up audio functions. -
