If this is something that just happened? worked ok on the same computer before? disconnect the firewire and check in the menu and make sure you are in the proper mode, HDV or DV, with power off on both machine and cam connect firewire(its not a good idea to hot-plug camcorders with firewire, it has been known to blow a port either on the cam or computer or both) power up the computer and open the device manager, if in the HDV mode open the “Video, Sound and Game controller” section, turn on the cam in the vcr mode, the cam should appear as a Canon HV30, If not try a different cable, if it doesn’t work on other computers with a new cable, try connecting to another 1080i HDV camcorder both in the vcr mode and see if the other cam gives recognition, if not you may have a blown port on the cam and need to get it repaired.

You could use a OS upgrade to a 64bit system, although CS4 is a 32bit system, some parts have been optomized to run on a 64bit OS like Vista 64 or Win7 64, That allows it to use the full 4gigs of menory alloted to a 32bit APP. (6gigs system memory minimum)
I’ve known people to run CS4 with a 9500gt with 512m with no problems, up to recently I was using a 9600gt on one of my video editing machines, I upgraded to a 200 series card for CS5
The video in the MOV wrapper is highly compressed and you still might have a problem running it native with the OS upgraded and more memory, you might want to look at a intermediate codec like Cineform’s NeoScene, it will take some load off your processor, using video like off the canon the cams needs a high performance system like a mid-range i7 processor. -
There are all types of AVI files, you need to identify where it came from and what it is, you can download g-spot from the net and use it to identify the file type.

How are your hard drives arranged, and how much memory does your video card have? and what flavor of HD are you trying to edit?

[Peter Rixner] “Does h264, flash, MPEG2 and so on use YUV ? Or whatever one should call that colorsystem then.”
when you refer to codecs you are refering to information carrying, the information that is carried is encoded into the data stream, depending on how the end product is going to be used when decoded, will determine the wrapper its carried in.
You should goto wikipedia and read up on various video systems to get a better idea about what is going on. -
[Marcello Mazzilli] ” but Cineform costs 500 euro.”
What version of Cineform are you looking at? to be able to do
[Marcello Mazzilli] “HD footage originally coming from M2T or H264 footage” You could use NeoScene only $100us, Realtime with CS5 depends on the speed of your cpu, gpu, and ammount of memory -
The only HD preset that the trial version is DVCPROHD and when I used the trial I loaded a 1080 mov into the DVCPROHD 1080 preset and it played fine, applied motion scaling and a few other effects, but I was running a MPE hack with a GTX260, so the mileage may vary on a non GPU setup

The size of the imaging chips is usually the primary low light determining factor, The EX has 1/2″ chips, the GY100 has 1/3″ chips, larger chips equal larger individual imaging cells in the matrix which means better light gathering ability, another factor in the imaging chips is how they are manufactured and material used, better glass equals better resolution, to increase the light gathering ability you have to increase the diameter of the lens for a given focal length, in inexpensive cams small diameter lenses are the norm but in higher level cams the lens is usually maxed to its best for the avialable economics.

[Julius Miller] “it is not supported on this architecture???”
What’s the architecture you are running on?

[Bruce Rutland] “I’m running Windows 7 Home Premium”
The problems you are having may be due to the fact that Ppro 2 is old software compared to your OS, goto the Premiere Pro folder in the x86 program files, and find the Premiere Pro 2 exe file and right click on it and select the “Troubleshoot Compatibility” and try it.
I don’t have any problem running Ppro 2 with DVD burners but I’m running it on win xp.
