Do another speed test for your hard drive. Using the Blackmagic Speed Test software. Tell me your readings.

Download firmware 4.0.1.5.0.2 and driver Version 2.1.28.1 Pour Windows Xp/Vista/7 32/64bits.

Alex, I’d contact B&H, I’m sure they’ll take care of you.

In Premiere Pro, press “F5”, click on “Settings”, click on “Edit”, and make sure the capture rate is set to DVCProHD.
-
The browser being open shouldn’t be a problem, just leave it in the background.
-
One more thing, in the capture menu, click on settings in the upper right corner, and make sure your capture locations are where you want them.
After that, you’re ready to rock n roll.
-
DVCProHD files are about 750MB per minute, so I think your drive will suffice.
And yeah, it’ll say “Offline” when you aren’t capturing, that’s normal behavior.
-
When capturing, you don’t want to switch windows, that may cause some problems.
If your hard drive can handle uncompressed SD capture, it can handle DVCProHD capture.

LOL, I made that mistake the first time also.
Also, once you’re done capturing, you may see what looks like a faint grid over the video. Don’t worry about that, it’s not actually there. Once you export the video, it won’t be there.

Just click OK on the new project settings, all of those settings are fine. It’ll then bring up a new sequence settings page, that’s where you select the preset I mentioned before. Make sure to use the Blackmagic one, just follow the tree like I listed.
Also, you can close Media Express, you don’t need that running at all. Premiere Pro is going to control the Shuttle instead of Media Express.
