Capture video in Premier 6.5 : Adobe Premiere

hi,
So far I was using premier 6.5 to capture video thru Firewire port and
had no problem . Recently
my firewire port stopped working. so I tried USB port. But premier does not
recognise my sony Handcam Mini DV Camcorder and I cannot capture video.

I will appreciate if any help.

Thanks.

There are many things you could try out, but I think the simplest remedy
would be a reinstall of Premiere. Takes only 20 min.

This is an all too common problem. Firewire seems to rather fragile. I
suffered the same problem. Fortunately I have a camera that supports
USB video transfer and I use Premiere Elements 4.0 which also supports
it.
If the Firewire port on your computer died you can install an add-in
card to get it back and be back in business. If the Firewire port on
your camera died then you'll need to either get a new camera, get the
old one fixed or upgrade to software that supports USB transfer,
assuming your current camera supports it.
