: Only the recently released Premiere 6 can work directly with the type of AVI files created by OHCI cards. I have heard of fairly complex ways of getting earlier versions of premiere to work with them - there may be something below on this forum.

: : I've had Premiere 5.1 for about a year now. I've been using a Matrox G200tv card to capture video from my VX-1000 since the beginning. Today I bought a FireWire card for easier capturing. The card is a "PCI OHCI Complaint IEEE 1394 Host Controller." I was on the understanding that having a card like this would let me import true DV footage. Is this true? Does Premiere support use of this card to import? I've done everything and haven't found any answers, I hope you guys can help me out. The make of the card is SIIG Inc.
: : Thanks in advance
Other than up-grading to 6.0 ($149) you could buy a third party codec from Main Actor ($50) and capture via any number of freeware capture utilities, but you will be limited to 2 gigs or 9 minutes on capture and output via firewire. Suggest you do both, as the codec is better than Microsofts and you can preview to tv via firewire as you edit. You can then capture 4 gigs and export the timeline up to 3 hours.
