Yes, this is tape-based video, from a Canon HV40, captured over a FireWire connection, but I used HDVSplit to capture it. Capturing with Premiere Elements is impractical because it doesn't split scenes, and I'd have to capture a full hour of tape for every clip.

My graphics card is an NVidia GE Force 9500 GT, and I have the most recent driver installed.

Yes, I am using the 64-bit version of Windows 7. Is that a problem? I hesitated to upgrade because I had heard initially that Premiere Elements wouldn't run on 64-bit systems. Based on recommendations on this forum, though, I finally decided to go ahead and upgrade and, so far, I've been delighted with the results. All the numerous issues with which I'd been struggling ever since I started editing in high definition were miraculously resolved. I assume it's because of the extended memory utilization in 64-bit Windows. High definition editing had been a painfully onerous chore before I upgraded, and it suddenly became a breeze. It was fun to edit video again! My only regret has been that and I hadn't upgraded to 64-bit when I first bought my high-def camera.
But this issue with the red frames is something I've never encountered before. Though it happens infrequently, in this case, it has become a blocking issue for me. I hope you're not going to say the only solution is to go back to a 32-bit OS. Please tell me this is not the case!
