I captured a small piece of footage and everything worked great. after that I cant get hd link to capture anything longer than that clip. It shows in the hd link capture utility that it is capturing more but when I go to premier and open the file in the project window it is still just the short piece. Now instead of deleting the first clip and showing all the others, it is just showing the first one and none of the rest.

Terry, that seems very odd. It sounds like you should file a trouble ticket so support can look at this further.
