No Margus, I don’t think Empollon Fernandez was referring to your post, but rather to Bob’s less than attentive remarks.
Thanks for your relevant suggestion.

Bob,
Thanks for the fast response.
I’m not sure I was clear enough in my post, but I have been capturing from a Canon HV30, via HDMI cable into the Intensity and compressing using Cineform. Reading your post I guess you might have missed what I said about using Cineform. Anyhow, Cineform is compressing the data with their (all but lossless) codec and sending the data to the 7200 rpm SATA drive as compressed 10-bit CineForm Intermediate (4:2:2) https://www.cineform.com/index.php . I also mentioned in my post that I was unsuccessful in trying to capture uncompressed HD with the same system – for all the reasons you mentioned in your post.
So, my original question still stands. Has anyone tried to capture via HDMI using the combination of: Express Box / Intensity / Cineform, on a Mac Book Pro?

Not silly at all, it’s just that Adobe is closed on weekends and I would like to solve the problem before monday.

Interesting enough, while the capture screen on PP reads “Capture Device Offline”, if I go to the Device Control Options, the “Check Status” botton reads “Online”. How can this be?
Also, why does the Sony Z1U not show up on the list of supported Sony Device Types?

On the camera I have the HDV to DV downconvert turned off and am using the 1080 setting on the PP project.

I added another 512 K of RAM and the problem persists. At 10 seconds of capture it starts breaking up. The additional memory made no difference. I was checking the capacity utilization of the P4 3.2 ht processor during capture and it is running in the 95% to 98% range. Would this be expected for HD capture?

The PC I am using is a Pentium 4 3.2 with HT, 1 gig of Ram, 7200 drives. Where should I look for the problem if Premiere 1.5.1 pixilates on captures longer than 10 seconds?
