I had faulty memory chip in my head. I have rendered over 65000 tgas in AE and imported them to Premiere. Premiere can handle that.
I just tested with 40000 8 bit tgas and indeed last frame was 32766 as Tim said.
I also tested short tif sequence with one faulty frame in the middle of sequence, imported them to AE and Premiere,
both imported them without hiccup. When srubbing timeline AE gave error message: not a tiff file. In Premiere Pro when scrubbing timeline, it just duplicated previous frame. But when rendering it says export error.
In the past when I have had problems with image sequences it usually is one imcompleted frame from Maya or corrupted otherwise.
This time I was totally wrong, I apologize. Next time I write only after testing. -
Have you checked frame 32767? Does it open in Photoshop? It can be some even very minor fault in the file.
That is normally the case if image sequence import fails. 36431 is not too much I think.
I have used over 65000 without problems. -
If your card is PCIe version, you should look at this:

PPro 2 is the first version with timecode (Effects>Video>Timecode)

Maybe easiest way is to make black and white mask in Photoshop and use it as Track Matte Key.
In Photoshop or Photoshop Elements use Rectangular Marquee Tool with 20 pixels feather in black background and and fill it with white color.
There you have nice feathered rectangle with round edges. -
Mac or PC? What application?
Have you selected SDI as your input source in Decklink preferences?
If you use BM Deck Control, have you chosen right easy setup? -

In PPro you can Shift-Click all your wrong PAR-sequences and interpret them all together. Not exactly automation but little quicker than AE’s Remember Interpretation> ShiftClick> Apply Interpretation.

Those Seagate 320/16 disks look very promising. I tested with Blackmagic speed test every single disk before I built RAID5. Results from 72.9 to 78.6 MB/s! Read and write speeds were almost identical. Now in 8 disk RAID5 read 440 MB/s and write 430 MB/s. Controller is Raidcore BC4852 (Ciprico) in 133 MHz PCI-X slot.
