Take a look at this picture. The multicolored pixels that appear in Premiere CS4’s capture/log window seem to be some serious interference created by my firewire 4pin to 6pin cable. At least that’s the theory. The actual tape that I was using to capture from is thankfully free of the dancing lights when viewed on a confidence monitor, which is a good thing. I played the tape on my backup DV deck and after a few starts and stops (Windows 7 and Premiere still have a problem recognizing the HDR50) I finally got it to work and continued my batch capture recording.
