Cannot create HDV, AVCHD or Cineform sequence

Question

Hi,
I think this came with last patch my colaborator and  I can't create HDV, AVHD or Cineform sequence on one of his machine; just DV.
Any idea how to fix this ?
Vista 64 Ultimate
fresh install
updated to last PP CS4 patch
Thank you.

Seriously, the problem is with your preferences.
On Vista do this:
Navigate to C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Premiere Pro\4.0 and delete (or drag to Desktop) the entire 4.0 folder. It will get rebuilt on the next PPro CS4 launch.
On XP do this:
Navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Adobe\Premiere Pro\4.0 and delete (or drag to Desktop) the entire 4.0 folder.
On Mac do this:
Navigate to Users/[username]/Documents/Adobe/Premiere Pro/4.0 and delete (or drag to Desktop) the entire 4.0 folder.
Next, navigate to Users/[username]/Library/Preferences and delete the file com.Adobe.Premiere Pro.4.0.plist
Be aware that on the PC the paths above point to hidden folders. So you may need to enable "Show hidden files and folders" in folder options. If you're not sure how to do this, check the Windows help files. Once you've deleted or moved these files, launch Premiere Pro 4.1 again. You should now see the missing presets and editing modes.
This is new behavior for Premiere Pro CS4. If the preferences indicate that there's something wrong with an importer, it blocks access to the importer and the presets. This was behavior that I saw fairly regularly during the beta cycle of the 4.1 update. It sounds like a few of you have run into it as well.
