The camera does support recording from firewire input. I’m not sure of the settings needed in FCP, but the camera does need to be in tape mode and have a tape inserted.
Also, just a side note, the DVX100A will accept analog video in and pass it through to the firewire port for capturing (no need to go to tape when transferring old home video’s).

Hi Dex,
I currently use a Toshiba p25-s520 (3 GHz HT p4) and it works great. No locking up, no weird driver issues (not counting the initial SP2 fiasco.)
Just from the specs listed I would go with the Toshiba because of the 5400rpm drive. If you decide to place your conformed audio files on the C drive it will be a noticeable jump in performance when editing.

Premiere Pro will NOT capture audio from the ST2 audio tracks. You need a stand alone utility if you want to do that. Otherwise, I have no problems with it.

Sounds like something with the scratch disk settings. Make sure that your scratch disk is set to the correct drive and not full.

I posted this above…
When your scrubbing Premiere is using your Sound card in the PC for audio. During playback it is sending the audio through the DV port. In the upper right corner of the preview window there is a little circle with a right pointing arrow. Click on that and select “Playback Settings”. In the drop down menu select “Play Audio on Audio Hardware”. This will tell Premiere to route the playback audio to the computers sound card.

If this does not solve it something else is going on. Let us know.

Drag the “Fill left” filter on the track if the audio is in the left channel or “Fill Right” filter if it is in the right.

Unless you want the picture to look squashed, I would suggest using a 16:9 “mask”. I took a frame grab from my camera in 16:9 mode pointed at a white wall. Then in Photoshop I selected and cut out the white. (Make sure that photoshop is set to transparency mode while cutting – the checkerboard pattern should show up). Save this and then import it into Premiere. Once in Premiere drag this still on a video track above your project, stretch it over the entire project and that should do the trick.
The down side to this method is that premiere will need to render the timeline wherever this is done.
Another possibility is drawing 2 black rectangles in the titler and placing this over the project. If you need a guide capture a frame or 2 of 16:9 footage to follow.
Both methods are not the cleanest or fastest way to do it, but they do work.
