Hi guys, hope you can help me. All of a sudden I can't capture video in Premiere (any version!) When I go to capture I get an error saying "The DV Device is unavailable for control".
I'm using OS9, I tried in OSX (10.2.3) and it doesn't work either.
Have I lost my Quicktime Capture ability? I recently installed Quicktime 6.1 in OSX. I'm not sure why OS9 would be affected though. The camera works on the family PC through FireWire so it's not broken!
I need to edit straight away for work and can't!

What machine are you using? Do you have iMovie installed? Can that see the camera?

OS X updates shouldn't affect your OS 9 setup. However a QT update on OS 9 could replace extensions that Premier uses to connect to the camera.

I've been looking at the System profiler. And it can't find any device on there. So I think it's a Hardware problem.
I'm using an iMac 800 15".
