Hi all,

being really cheeky here but here goes. As I'm a penniless student at the moment I have a cracked copy of Premier 6.5. Everything works fine except importing/exporting video. When I try to export to tape I get the "Device is unavailable for DV device control". The program does not recognize my camera Canon XM1 at all.

I have a standard PC with Firewire card and a cracked copy of Windows XP.

My question is, will this be due to the fact that i'm using a cracked copy or is this something I'm doing wrong? Also tried with a copy of Premier Pro and have exactly the same problem.

Appreciate any advice...many thanks

Chris Robert
