As Steve mentions, the native file size is the same as standard DV. HDV is a highly compressed format using the MPEG2 system (similar to DVDs).
To edit in Premier 1.51 (no native MPEG2 editing) requires changing the format to AVI, which is un-compressed. However, writing back HDV onto tape will lose some quality as the picture has to be re-compressed to MPEG2.

This is almost certainly a result of capturing with the wrong project settings for interlace pattern. Did you set the project to NTSC by mistake?
Changing the interlace field order should resolve this problem. It’s not so much that the capture was wrong, more that Premier is displaying the fields in the wrong order. Double check that your Project is DV PAL.

I guess he means live capture. Easy to do with Matrox RTX.

Mmm, just like Avid have been doing for years!
This really is a pain in the preverbial and it’s one of the many issues Adobe need to address to compete with the other editing apps that do things logically and in an efficient manner.
NO…… don’t get me started on the audio tracks again please.

Does the same happen when putting the clips end to end on the same video track?
What spec is your setup? (CPU, Ram, Drives, Premier version and OS etc.)

Premier captures to AVI files where as the Avid system captures to OMFI files. The Avid system is however able to import these AVI files unless they were captured through a Matrox card using the Matrox codec.
However I’ve yet to come across a Firewire card that didn’t work with the Avid applications (although I know others have). Have you tried setting the Capture settings for a ‘GenericDVDevice’? Each machine setting differs slightly but most should respond reasonably well to this setting. You may find the full list of supported cameras on Avid’s Website.

Without knowing the exact error message it’s almost impossible to help. Make a note of the message and folks here will try and point you in the right direction for a fix.

Almost certainly this is a cause of the inability of the CCD to resolve the detail of the table edge down to the number of pixel lines available. The PD150 is the most likely to suffer this due to the 1/3″ chips in use but should be better with the D50 and D30.
Possible solutions:
1. Double check there is no light flickering on the set. It’s not unusual to get a halogen lamp flickering that the eye doesn’t notice but the camera does.
2. Try changing the shot angle if possible. A diagonal line is less likely to give flicker than a horizontal one.

Mmm. The spec says it should work but I’d be as suprised as you to find connector problems. I wouldn’t be without my elephant trunk pliers – saved my bacon many a time extracting dropped screws from the darkest depths of VTRs and monitors!
Youe local? Sony agent or dealer should be able to offer guidance on this.

GetFreeHeap means the Avid application is trying to get more memory from the operating system. If this fails then you may be running into lack of memory at the point in time it fails.
What are the specs of your system?
