[. . . ] Adobe Premiere 6. 0 for Windows: IEEE 1394 Compatibility Information Premiere's Built-In DV Support Prior to Windows 98 Second Edition, IEEE 1394 interface manufacturers were required to provide their own class drivers for use of the IEEE 1394 ports from within Windows. Beginning with Windows 98 Second Edition, Microsoft has included its own class drivers that will support any OHCI-compliant IEEE 1394 interface. [. . . ] Make sure your DV device (camcorder or deck) is plugged into the wall socket (battery power is not recommended) and that it's properly connected to the computer's IEEE 1394 port using your FireWire cable. Turn on your DV device, and set it to "VTR" mode (instead of "Camera" mode. ) Check for Imaging Devices in Windows Device Manager 1. From the Start menu, select Settings > Control Panel > System; and in System Properties, click on the Device Manager tab (Windows 98SE and Windows Me) or click on the Hardware tab then Device Manager button (Windows 2000) 2. Look for and expand "Imaging devices. " Note: If there is no listing for Imaging devices, see TI class drivers section below. Microsoft DV class drivers If the device under "Imaging Devices" is "Microsoft DV Camera and VCR" or (under Windows Me) "<your camera manufacturer> DV Camera and VCR, " then the Microsoft DV class drivers (MSDV) are loaded and Premiere should be able to capture from your DV device. Note: In the rare instance wherein the DV device appears in the Device Manager as an Imaging Device called "Microsoft DV Camera and VCR" but Premiere is still unable to connect to the 11/22/00 1 capture driver: (1) Uninstall then reinstall Premiere and try again. If it still does not succeed, you may have to reinstall Windows 98 Second Edition, then reinstall Premiere. Sony class drivers If the device listed in the Device Manager under Imaging devices is "Sony DVCR, " then the Sony class drivers have loaded, preventing MSDV from controlling the IEEE 1394 hardware. In this case, only Sony's DVGate software can capture from or play back to the FireWire device. If you wish to use Premiere's built-in DV support instead of Sony's bundled DV support, you must disable the Sony class drivers so that those included with Windows can take over.
