Capture just stops (Pinnacle 500-USB & Premiere Pro 2.0)

[vlad.dumitrescu]

I have a Sony DCR-HC17E PAL camcorder connected to my computer via Pinnacle 500-USB (there is a firewire cable between camcorder and Pinnacle device and a USB cable between Pinnacle and my computer's USB 2.0 port).

When I want to "capture" the video from the miniDV tape with Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 (with Scene Detection and Abort on dropped frames activated), after a while (13 minutes first time I tried, 32 minutes the second time and 36 minutes last time), the capture just stops. There are no dropped frames, the scenes captured before the incident are good, no error message is displayed. Everything seems ok, but Premiere's Capture Preview window is black, there is no camera status displayed and nothing gets captured. The camera is still playing the movie.

Do you have any idea that can solve this problem?

Thank you!

You must use Pinnacle studio 10 for capture with pinnacle cards

I've captured with Premiere and Pinnacle card before and it worked.
