This should be easy to figure out. i have dv input on my computer, i have a mini dv from jvc. everything is hooked up right. i fact nero's capture will work just fine so i know it repsonds. but premere tells me can't activate recorder please reset recorder. but it says that only after i turn the camera on witch tells me it is responding. my freind also has the same version of premere and i took my cam over there and it worked just fine. could it be my dv card? somthing tells me no because my friend has the same one with the same IEEE1394 bus adapter no. this has to be somthing easy. PLAESE HELP ME.
