Yep. All the time. Normally happens when a connection is lost. Just turn your camera on and off.

Ended up getting scenalyzer live, and my camera works fine with that, otherwise you could just import/export with windows movie maker.

I get a similar problem with Vegas and had it all the time with Premier too.
It's partly down to your capture card. If you are running a super cheap firewire/ilink/1394 card then this could be it. All you can do is as everyone has already suggested- trun the cam on the off - or close premier and re-open it.

I fixed the problem by repairing win xp using its installation disc - but sp2 has been uninstalled in the process and hence control panel doesn't work due to the lack of windows firewall and other errors - I guess SP2 has issues with some DV capture?
