Unable to capture in Mac OSX at DVinfo.net

Using: Premiere Pro CS3, Mac OSX 10.4.11, HV20 as a deck via firewire.

The problem: Premiere will not capture or even show anything from the deck! Deck control works fine, but nothing's coming through.

Avid Media Composer captures w/ firewire, even iMovie can capture w/ firewire. But Premiere Pro will NOT capture or even show video from my firewire deck.

I'm also running Windows XP via bootcamp and PPro 2.0, and it captures fine on that. Just not on the Mac side.

I was also able to use HDMI via a Decklink and the firewire as a deck control, but deck control via firewire was very faulty and didn't work like it should have.

What's the deal? The problem is obviously with the program and not the firewire bus or the deck. Anyone else have this problem, or know how to fix it?
