Default High Def capture queries in adobe & pinnacle

Hi

I'm getting confused with the capture process of high def footage. I'll explain & maybe someone can help.

I shot the footage with a Sony HVR V1 in high def mode.

When I come to capture it in my PC via firewire, in Pinnacle Ultimate I have the following options.

Pal Standard
Pal Widescreen
Pal Progressive
Pal Progressive Widescreen
HD 1280x720/25p
HD 1280x720/30p
HD 1440x1080/50i
HD 1440x1080/60i
HD 1920x1080/50i
HD 1920x1080/60i

I'm not sure what I should select in Pinnacle.

In Adobe Premiere CS3 I don't get any option to change anything.
I select Capture - Settings & change Capture Settings to HDV Capture.

Then in Project Settings - General I have the following settings which are all greyed, ie can't be changed.

Editing Mode: DV Pal
Timebase: 25.00 frames/second
Video
Frame Size: 720 horizontal 576 vertical 16:9
And some other stuff.

So as far as I understand 720x576 doesn't equate to high def?

Can someone take a bit of time to explain to me, it would be much appreciated.

Many thanks.
