Hi Drew,
Are you capturing via Premiere, or via an app that came with your graphics card?
Try whatever came with your graphics card.
Check the capture settings carefully. Here's why. ATI, for example, as two
different kinds of AVI it captures. One can be edited easily in Premiere. The other can't. This is not a trivial thing to find out, but it is trivial to solve -- in your ATI app, there is a AVI1/AVI2 setting. Toggle it and see if that works.
So, if you do that, then see if you can view your files using any app on your computer
other than what came from your video card manufacturer. If not, then this indicates strongly that you might have an older driver or older capture software and you need to hammer on the video card manufacturer.
However, if some other app
can see it, such as RealPlayer or Quicktime, then you at least know that the video is
probably okay.
Can you export from Premiere as a clean movie sans effects. In other words, just import a clip, throw it on the timeline, and then immediately export it as, say, a Sorenson Quicktime. Does that work?
No real solutions yet, but maybe closer to the problem...
