For those still wondering, I have only been able to get 35Mbps and 25Mbps files to work in CS4 Premiere Pro.

1. Have you captured the video from your camera to your hard drive?
Video captured to esata hard drive
2. Is it DV or HDV?
DV
3. What shows up in the Program window? Black or Offline?
Nothing – just the same blue/gray color as everything else in Premiere. The only time I see anything in any premiere video window is when I open another windows program (Firefox for example), when I close Firefox and Premiere is still on maximized, whatever was on firefox in the area of the Program window remains frozen in the program window.
3. Will the clip play in Windows Media Player?
Haven’t tried it but the clips do play in AE
4. Will Premiere display other video, like the WMV samples in My Videos?
Again, no video, I have tried sample clips, clips captured from old prem pro 1.5… same problem every time.

I’m torn over it being the video card becuase the clips will play in AE. I thought maybe it’s a Vista issue… hopeing someone may have had the same issue and have found a solution already
