PPro CS3 running under XP SP3 will crash when I try to capture clips from my DV camcorder, Panasonic PV-GS400. It can see the camcorder, it will start playing the tape but nothing shows in the capture window and it will run from 7-10 seconds and then it will crash PPro.
I have checked around the web for possible solutions. One was to remove webcam software, which I did (it was Logitech Webcam software). No change. I have tested the camera in other programs, Windows Movie Maker (could capture fine) and Sony Vegas 6.0d (could capture fine). I have adjusted various settings recommended by the Adobe forums but the result is the same, crash. I have reinstalled PPro CS3, still the crash happens. I have used different rolls of footage, same result.
At first I thought the firewire port might be failing. But since I can capture from other programs I eliminated that idea. All of my software is up to date and I have reinstalled my video drivers. I don't know if Quicktime, IE8 or some other piece is used by PPro and that the newer versions may cause this problem. I feel strongly that it stems from a change in the registry but don't know where to start looking. Everything worked perfectly two months ago when I finished my last big project. Any help is greatly appreciated. If I don't find a solution soon, I am moving to a Mac.
