My first response to your query is that 10 hours of dv footage is going to take a lot of disc space, how much exactly I'm not sure but a lot. so capture only what is useful to you. yes premiere 5.1 is ok but you need to upgrade it to 5.1c so that your native firewire port is recognized. 5.1c upgrade enables premiere to work with mac firewire systems and Quick Time 4.0. Good luck with your project. Device control I'm not so sure about, you may need version 6.0 for that.(posted 8405 days ago)
