5.0.2 - Still Can't Import JVC QuickTime Files

Question

I was absolutely thrilled about the announcement that the 5.0.2 update would allow importing the JVC Pro HD QuickTime MOV files... until I actually tried it. Unfortunately, I'm still getting the import error complaining that the codec can't be found, and I've tried several of these files without success. Am I still missing something?
System: Dell Alienware Area 51, Intel i7 980X CPU, 12 GB RAM, 1 TB SATA HD (C:), 2 TB SATA HD (D:), BD/DVD/CD Burner Drive (E:), DVD/CD Burner Drive (F:), 4 TB RAID-0 eSATA HD (G:), NVIDIA Quadro FX 4800 card, 2 Dell U2410 monitors, Windows 7 Pro, 64-bit.
Major Software: Adobe CS5 Master Collection, Office 2007, QuickTime 7 Pro w/iTunes 10, Nero 10, SnagIt 9, Camtasia Studio 7.
Camera: JVC ProHD GY-HD200CB17PS with Focus Enhancements DR-HD100 Portable DTE Recorder. (Usually copy video files from the drive via Firewire.)
This is a brand-new computer and everything purrs like a kitten - no other issues at all with this system; LOVE the performance of the 4800 video card with Premiere CS5! And yes, I'm quite sure the 5.0.2 version was downloaded and updated - I had to update the NVIDIA drivers afterward to regain CUDA support, but all is well after the driver update.
On the JVC camera, we normally record to DV (AVI-2) or HDV M2T formats, but there is another guy in the building who has a Final Cut system with the exact same camera/drive and he uses the HDV MOV mode. When we used his clips, I have to take them home, convert them on my iMac using Calibrated Software's "Calibrated{Q} XD Decode" plug-in (I only have Final Cut Express) and bring the converted files back to use in Premiere. The M2T format we normally record with ourselves works just fine without any conversion.
Would love to bypass buying the Callibrated plug-in for CS5 if possible. Anyone have any thoughts? (Adobe?) -- Thanks!

Answer 1

I was hoping this might be it, but unfortunately, it's not. All of the sequence presets were there. I tried importing MP2, MP4, AVCHD and M2T formats - all came in clean and beautiful without any hesitation. Even took the JVC camera and shot some short test footage in both the M2T and MOV formats. The M2T imported without a hitch, while the MOV files complained of a missing codec (same as before). And I also have the menu option to Deactivate Premiere - I'm assuming you would see the "Activate" command instead if it were in trial mode.
The only difference I noticed in the info graphic from your JVC clip is that your clip was shot in 720p24 whereas our stuff is usually 720p60 - do you suppose that p60 isn't supported? I haven't tried anything at p24 but just might give that a shot this morning to see if it makes any difference. (It probably shouldn't - the QuickTime wrapper shouldn't be that different for these formats.)
The only other difference I've noticed in my system since the 5.0.2 update followed by the NVIDIA driver update is that at some point after I launch Premier Pro, the monitors will "blink" for a moment (i.e. go to black and then restore the correct images). When this happens, the Windows 7 Aero transparency apparently becomes disabled (e.g. the transparent task bar goes to an opaque light blue) - anything that was transparent on the Windows 7 desktop becomes opaque. I think this happened after I installed the NVIDIA update. But since this is so minor and the reverse "blink" occurs when you quit Premiere Pro (i.e. the Windows 7 transparency is completely restored), I'm assuming that the NVIDIA card is just yielding to Premiere's requirements at that point. Other than this, though, everything else (including Windows 7) seems to be behaving quite well.
Thanks for the suggestion - I'm willing to look at just about anything to find the solution.
