Hi Rose,
What screen are you referring to? A TV Screen or a computer Monitor ?
If it’s a computer monitor, it’s normal, and depends on the player you are using.

Chinuch,
What you posted was DV compressed. The black on white text will be much cleaner because it contains a lot less information and will easily fit within the DV data rate without heavy compression.
Premiere will compress the timeline to DV (if you work in DV), but that’s mostly so that you can preview it through firewire, it won’t affect the final export. I’m not saying that you won’t see any difference since you are going to a different format. The picture may somewhat look softer, but the pixelation shouldn’t be there.
Designing in Photoshop for PAL isn’t part of my experience, and I’m sure it isn’t as bad as NTSC 😉
Avoid high saturation, keep colors within broadcast specs, and avoid very sharp edges.
BTW, by uncompressed I mean: File type: Microsoft AVI, Compressor: none, and uncheck recompress at the bottom.

If you have confirmed that the cable and camera indeed are working properly:
-Unplug all other firewire devices, restart, and plug the camera by itself.
-If you have system restore enabled, you could try going back and see if that solves it.
-If that doesn’t do it, I’d go for a clean install of Premiere and /or your OS.
Cheers,

The pixelation you are referring to is compression, that looks like DV and it is perfectly normal if you are compressing a static picture. DV was never meant for that, and you really shouldn’t use it past the preview render in Premiere.
What is you final media? If it’s DVD, export as mpeg2 or uncompressed for your DVD application. In fact just export a small segment and look at the image. If it’s Mpeg 2 you will probably still see a little pixelation around the edges, if it’s uncompressed, you shouldn’t.
If you are exporting back to DV tape, get used to it 😉

Premiere will roughly calculate the space requirements based on the preset you chose, and as you saw tell you if you can burn or not.
You can either use a bit rate calculator: https://www.customflix.com/bitbudget
or you can take a look at applications like Adobe Encore that will allow you to select an automatic setting for encoding.

That may be it too, but that usually especially happens when you actually remove the application. For example the CD icon would disappear all together.

Haa, well your issue then has to do with the preset you used. Try lowering the setting to 4MB CBR, or use a custom setting, and keep lowering the data rate until it allows you to burn.

It could be a driver not being recognized, update your DVD burner to the latest firmware / driver.
Does the record to ISO or folder function work ?
If so, then just use the folder option, and drag the finalized folder to the DVD.

BTW, buying one of these cards today would not be really “worth” it unless you:
1-Have a pretty powerful machine
2- Have a need working with 1080 HD (not HDV)As a great alternative (DV) you could take a look at this product which will run you under 200 dollars.

On a side note, most of these will run around a $1000+ dollars.
