Havn't used it for many year but I am going to save all may tapes now.
I have win7 latest
premiere elements 13.1
A sony miniDV camcorder
Firewire, driver latest
In APremiere Elements I got a message that ' a unit that is not supported is detected' (transl from swedish)

If I start moviemaker it works ok to import, How to get APE to do the same?

Premiere Elements removed the tool for capturing tape-based video in version 12.

However, you can capture your miniDV footage over a FireWire connection using the free download WinDV on a Windows computer.

The DV-AVI that this software captures will be editable in Premiere Elements.
