Premiere Pro-Capturing digital video

[pepperaxe]

I have Premier Pro running over XP.
My digital Camcorder is a JVC GR-DVX9.
The problem is that I don't made a good capture of the video.
Anyone can help me?

Funny you should say this, I have the same camera and have a similar problem, all I get out of it are large blocky horisontal artifacts, I thought I would try out premier and see how good it was. I will try a capture with a panasonic tonight. what are you capturing in? PAL?

have you captured the video via firewire?

I film with the JVC GR-DVX9 change tape to my old Panasonic DV cam that is permanently attached to the PC via Firewire. I capture using Panicle Studio 9 or ULead. This works fine. I wanted to try Premier because it has many advanced features over my existing solutions.

The version of Premier I'm using is the 1.5 tryout

OS - XP Pro
Processor - Athalon 2600
Grafx - Via chipset
Mem - 512

I was thinking of capturing video taken on the Panasonic to see if that makes any difference or pulling in some sample footage from a dvd. Any help is as always appreciated

I read some where that defragging the disk is usually a first step with adobe Premier I'll give that a go and post my results.

Can you describe your problem (how the video looks)?
I think you haven't captured the video in DV format.

How do you mean not DV? I just assumed it was DV. How do you capture not in DV?
Im not being cheeky just confused!
more info

Footage shot on the JVC Digital Camcorder
Panasonic Digital camcorder ---> fire wire ---> Pinnacle studio --> AVI file
Panasonic Digital camcorder ---> fire wire ---> Premier Pro --> AVI file

Result
Both of the Avi files can be edited in Pinnacle or Virtual Dub (if the Panasonic codec is installed)
Using Premier pro for editing the result in the monitor window is heavily distorted with about 4 large horizontal lines made up of blocks between the lines the footage is skewed at about 45 degrees kind of like the bottom of a capture from VHS tape.

Now I tried the same tape using the JVC for input
The result was perfect.
The only problem is that the JVC isn't mine and I have about 300 gb of files captured using the Panasonic.

Thoughts?
