Capturing the Video from JVC Camcorder

Question

I was recently advised to purchase Adobe Premier Elements 7 and a new computer with a Windows Vista operating system. The camcorder and computer have plug in ports for firewire. However, the capture mode only seems to copy the video at the same rate that it plays the movie. In addition, it doesn't seem to transfer any audio. Any suggestions?

That's called real-time capture, Randy. It's how it's supposed to work! ;)
As for your ASIO settings, only you can tell if they're correct or not. They look right to me, but they should match your system's audio settings. For instance, you want to make sure that your ASIO settings in Premiere Elements are going out to the jack your speakers are plugged into -- otherwise... well, you know.
BTW, you may want to check the video you've already captured. Open a clip in Windows Media Player or Windows MovieMaker. If the captured video plays audio there, you'll know it's an audio hardware setting in Premiere Elements. If not, you'll know there's a problem with the captured video itself -- maybe an audio setting in your camcorder, for instance.
And make sure you've got the latest version of Quicktime and the latest RealTek drivers!
