Hi all.

I have been provided 5 mini-dv tapes to use for a new project. The 
provider also has put the video files on an external HD USB drive. I 
have copied those 5 files, ranging from 10gig to 13gig, onto my local 
hard disk.

When I try to import them to PP, my machine gets locked up while 
generating the PEAK files.

I was trying to import them all at once and let it run for over 6 
hours and came back to check and it was generating the peak file for 
the third imported video file and still had two more to go. I just 
tried them one at a time. The first one I chose generated the peak 
file in about 10 minutes, so I thought I was on to something doing 
them one at a time. 

The next one I chose, I let run for at least half an hour and it was 
still generating the peak file and the progress bar showed about 90% 
full for most of that half hour, and if I try to do anything in PP 
like save the file, or anything else, the machine locks up. The only 
thing I can do at that point is CTL+ALT+DEL and end the PP process.

If I view the task manager, under applications it says PP is not 
responding, but has my CPU resources tapped at 99%.

Could this be a problem with the video files as captured by the 
provider of the files? Should I just try to capture the tapes again?

This is frustrating, I need to be editing instead of figuring out how 
to get the media into Premiere...

Thanks for any help.
Keith
