I have have had random clips do this to me. Sometimes for some reason PPRo misreads the aspect ratio the clip is supposed to be. Try this and see if it fixes your problem:
Right click on the video file in the project window
Select ‘Interpret Footage’. Under ‘Pixel Aspect Ratio’ it should probably read HD Anamorphic (1.333). If it does not check the ‘Conform to’ button and select the the HD Anamorphic setting or any setting that makes your video look right.Good luck, hope this helps.

If I remember right, PPro2 does not take advantage of all 4 cores in a quad core. PPro CS3 does.

Try looking in the Project panel and see if your assets are there. You might even have to click the up folder to see them all. I found that when I imported previous versions of projects into CS3 that the sequence was not automatically opened, but if I clicked on it in the Project window it would then open up.

I ran two versions on two different machines and did not have any problems.

I am not familiar with the Sony VR-900, but any DV camcorder that is working within spec should be able to record or play each others tapes (I’m talking about the info recorded on the tape, not the brand of tape itself). However, sometimes the heads get out of alignment and a tape recorded on an out of spec camera can only be played back on the camera that recorded it.
High def camcorders work the same way in theory using the HD specs, however, most manufacturers have come up with variations of the standards to record at various frame rates(24, 30, etc) or to record in real or simulated progressive modes. Most of these cameras can only play their own brand of video if recorded in one of the proprietary modes.

Thanks Mike. I tried this and it almost worked for me. I copied the file from Encore and dropped it in the main PPro3 folder. Premiere would then recognize the files as having audio and conform them when I imported. The only problem is that for me only the first 15-20 seconds of audio was there for each clip. During the conforming stage it appeared that it conformed the whole clip judging from the time it took. I tried this on about 20 different clips and got the same result.
My solution was to demux just the audio portion of each clip to an mpa file using MPEG Streamclip (free program) and then link the audio to the unconverted (but re-named from VOB to MPEG) video file.

I also had the same error code you have. I found that it only happened on HD projects and on those where the files had been moved or re-named. If I captured in Premiere and did not move them from the original capture location then they would work. I am not sure if mine started when I updated Premire or not, because I had done several things to my computer in a short time frame.
The solution I found was this – uninstall Quicktime. After I did this all my projects work again and I can capture with a different program than Premiere, move them around and re-name them without a problem. I don’t know if it is a Premiere problem or Quicktime problem. For the time being I am running without Quicktime, but don’t know what I will do in the long term. I hope this gets figured out.

Look for your timeline (sequence) where the project assets are. They may be in a folder. If you double click on the sequence it will open where the timelines are.

I have not had this problem before with other HD material, so I did a little investigation. It looks like the problem in on the original tape. The sync does not drift, but changes a little bit at certain spots. After looking at the original tape in those spots it looks like there is a little glitch in the original tape. I don’t see digital artifacts like a dropout, but just a little hick-up in the picture for a frame or two. When this happens the picture and sound get out of sync a little bit. It happened several times in this tape and by the end is out of synce be a couple of seconds.

I have the same problem. I capture with Premiere Pro 2 or CS3. All goes fine. I am capturing 30-60 min segments with no scene detect. In Windows media player everything is fine, in Premiere the audio starts in sync but drifts over time.
