yeah, you're going to want to use firewire man, I don't know that premiere will even see your camera if you are using component cable. and you'll want to use firewire anyways, because it's faster. If your camera doesn't have a firewire output, you might have to find out if your university has a capture deck that you can just capture straight off the tape to digital and take your camera out of the equation.
If I were you, i'd look in premieres help files and search for "log and capture."
That section will have the information you need to get this thing going.
Also, if you could post a link to the make and model of your camera, and video card, that could help us figure out what kind of hardware problems might be in the way.

you can also use USB, if it is digital, it will have at least one of the two.
