Premiere will capture analog very well. Just make sure you adjust the capture settings to use the appropriate input. Also do not select a DV as the project type, select Video for windows. The input selection settings are nder project -> project settings ->capture. It will do a much better job of capping than Movie Maker

Make sure your capture settings for premiere are correct. Sounds to me like that is the problem. There is a manual for a reason! Actually, Raptor just explained it out.

Oh wait... I remember now, make sure you have the latest update for your capture driver! That was a major problem I ran into not too long ago. If you don't have it on these later operating systems for windows, it won't work!

Good call, we had to update our Redeon 8700 drivers to get full frame cap, with stock drivers could only get 320x240.
