Adobe problem

[marceggers]

I purchased Adobe Premiere Elements 2.0 for my new PC. It uses WinXP and has plenty of RAM and processor speed as well as a huge HD. I've installed and uninstalled and reinstalled PE 2.0 several times. I've checked and double checked my conx. (Firewire 4-pin/6-pin standard conx). All appears to be good. Yet everytime I try to capture video from my new Panasonic PV-GS250 camcorder I get a blank capture monitor, no apparent response from the camcorder when using the software device controller, and an error message telling me that the recorder captured no frames. I experimented using other software on this PC from Ulead and Sonic Foundry/Sony as well as the Windows DVD software that came with the system and they all capture video and are able to control the camcorder from the device controller! Why won't the Adobe PE do the same thing? Is PE 2.0 unable to see my camcorder? Is there some setting that I need to change? (The camcorder does show in My Computer.) When I tested the software on my wife's almost identical PC all worked well. Thanks for any help.

Well then it's your PC. It is almost impossible to determine what might be the cause of diference between the 2

Did you install the Panasonic DV codec?

Wellll... if the camera works with your PC using other software, just not PE, sounds like the problem's with PE. Have you googled & checked the Adobe knowledgebase?

It would be a PE setting or problem. No extra codec should be needed.

A workaround is to transfer the video over IEEE-1394 with WinDV or another program and then import the resulting DV-AVI file into PE.
