I am pretty new to this so sorry if answer is obvious. I have captured video via Elements (displayed ok as it was captured in the capture window). However the captured footage when viewed in the monitor window runs but is severly pixelated , the soundtrack is ok though. I have rendered the captured video (I think) per the manual.


I have also tried capturing the Video via Windows Moveimaker and that seems to be ok but I would prefer to use Elements.

I have a Radeon 9700 pro graphics card in an Athlon2600+ with 512MB memory.

I have twin RAID SATA 120GB harddisks set up to mirror - running a disk speed check seems to produce speeds in excess of the minimum requirement.

I have tried searching the Adobe site without succes does anyone have any suggestions

Did you capture via USB? If so this would likely be the cause. ALWAYS capture via firewire if possible.

I used Firewire. As I say it worked ok for Moviemaker.

Problem solved. Turns out to be a conflict between Pansonic DX100 and the Main Concepts decoder used by Adobe Premier. Main Concepts Tech Support Emailed new mcdvd_32.dll and problem is fixed.

Thanks for posting back. These are the little gems of information which help people who come here and do a forum search.

Glad it's all sorted now.
