       Texas Instruments DVConnect 1394 driver version 3.2.2.

     - Some audio/video synchronization problems during analog capture
       have been fixed, such as problems resulting from using Fast 
       Forward or Rewind prior to the capture.

       device from the Movie Capture window) has been fixed.

     - Realtime playback of static titles in Adobe Premiere is now 
       supported with Inscriber TitleMotion v4.2 and the upcoming
       TitleExpress v1.0.       

 
  2. Service Pack 2 updates (included with Service Pack 3)   
     - Some problems with audio/video synchronization of clips played back
       from the Adobe Premiere Timeline have been fixed.

     - The problem with some TGA files not playing back in real time
       (although they have the correct settings) has been fixed.
     
     - The overall performance of DV-1394 device control and capture
       has been improved, assuming that you update to the Texas 
       Instruments DVConnect driver version 3.2.2. This includes
       the following fixes:
 
       - Adobe Premiere will no longer freeze if you press Stop on your 
         DV-1394 device while Premiere is searching for an In point during
         batch capture. (Ref# 18260 & 19337)

       - When using a Panasonic AG-DV2000 NTSC device, there is no longer a
         problem with the device staying in Pause mode when a clip's In point
         is found during batch capture. (Ref #19131) 

       - The DV-1394 device control now supports Adobe Premiere's jog
         command. (Ref# 18069)

       - Problems with the DV-1394 device control on older Sony DCR-VX1000
         and DHR-1000 devices have been fixed.

   
  3. Service Pack 1 updates (included with Service Pack 3)  

     3.1 Fixes relating to capturing
         - In Adobe Premiere, you are now able to perform an audio only 
           capture (analog or DV-1394). (Ref# 18529)

         - There is no longer a problem of Adobe Premiere freezing when 
           performing multiple captures. (Ref# 18470)

         - There is no longer the random problem of video corruption in 
           MPEG-2 I-frame captures. (Ref# 18291)

         - Captured files now stop correctly at the capture limit, and the 
           associated audio files are of the correct size. (Ref# 18483)

         - The problem of random mutes during analog audio captures has 
           been fixed.
   
     3.2 Fixes relating to exporting
         - There are no longer random file sharing problems when exporting 
           video with associated audio to an MPEG-2 IBP .avi file. (Ref# 18560)

         - To fix the export to tape problems on computers that have an Intel
           820 or 840 chipset, clear the "Enable video preview during export"
           option in the RT2000 General Settings dialog box (choose Project>
           Settings>General>Advanced Settings). Be aware that the preview 
           will be disabled on your computer monitor. You'll still be able to
           preview the video you're exporting on your NTSC or PAL video monitor.

           Note: If you clear the "Enable video preview during export" option
           after a failed DV-1394 export to tape, you'll need to restart your 
           computer before starting the export to tape again.   
   
     3.3 Fixes relating to DV-1394 devices
         - There is no longer an audio playback problem when recording on a
           Sony DCR-VX1000. (Ref# 18923)

         - Problems with the DV-1394 device control for older Sony DCR-TRV900E 
           camcorders have been fixed.

     3.4 Fixes relating to playback  
         - The "Report dropped frames" selection for playback found in the 
           RT2000 General Settings dialog box is now working correctly.
