I have tried all the usual fixes such as the one you suggested. Premiere appears to control the deck normally. It seeks the tape for the in-point and then rolls the deck. Now normally when it begins recording a counter appears telling you the recording duration and amount of space remaining on disk. That never appears, it just plays the tape and does not stop when it reaches the out-point. I have checked device control and everything is correct.
So, I tried batch capturing the same footage in CS3 and had no problems! Therefore I have to believe it is an issue with CS5. I appreciate your suggestion, thanks
