Hi peze1, a warm welcome to Muvipix.

Unfortunately PE7 does not capture from USB devices. You could capture your video with Ulead into DV-AVI format and then import this into PE7. PE7 works best with DV-AVI format.

Alternatively you could purchase a DV-AVI capture unit such as the ADS Tech Pyro Link or the Canopus ADVC-55 or -100. These units capture over a Firewire interface into DV-AVI format.

Yes, Welcome to Muvipix

And any of the devices that Paul mentions will show up as a capture device in Premiere Elements just like a MiniDV camcorder will.

Tjenare, peze! And welcome to Muvipix!

Just to add to what the others said, I'd also recommend against devices that digitize video and capture it over USB. Most of these devices come with software, and they're usually best used only with that software.

Premiere Elements nearly always has trouble with video captured by these USB devices.

Hello peze1 and welcome to Muvipix from me.

It looks like PaulLS suggestion may be the best way to go as it means that you don't have to buy any additional hardware or software.

What make/model camera are you trying to capture from?
