One of these beauties has more or less fallen into my hands! (An unwanted item from a garage sale, that I have first "dibs" on).

I can find no specific mention of it working with Premiere Elements (9). Does anyone know whether it would?

It would be so handy if it does?

Thank you in anticipation!

I would certainly expect it to work with any editor that captures firewire.

I wish I could stumble upon a garage sale like that. :mrgreen:

I've been using an ADVC-300 for several years. I know it works fine with previous versions of Premiere Elements, and I'm sure it will work with V9. The included Picture Controller software allows you to make many adjustments for on-the-fly processing while capturing, and I've found that it does work under Vista and Windows 7 even though it's not officially supported. If your used unit doesn't have the Picture Controller software with it, you can download it from the Grass Valley website after registering. It's a little gem of a converter, with built-in time base correction. Enjoy!
