| 192436 | 2003-11-16 06:47:00 | Ok so I'm buying a digi video camera, and I need a firewire card. IEEE 1394 or whatever. Does anyone know of a cheap source I can get something that will do? And also, are some better than others? Like, will a better quality card have faster transfer, or differing video quality, anything like that? or does it not matter? | tango (2697) | ||

| 192438 | 2003-11-16 06:58:00 | firewire card = 1394 card best thing to do is: use google.co.nz to search your camera model and firewire it will turn up heaps info. avoid possible conflicting chipset. some camera may have problem with certain chipset. I got a nec-chip based 1394 port on my mainboard. I still funny got video recording. scale back graphics acceleration greatly reduced the problem. some new camera got dual interface USB2 and 1394..~~~~~~~if your pc also support USB2.0... |

| 192440 | 2003-11-17 03:07:00 | I suggest you first find out what capture software comes with a 'Firewire' card. My 'Pinnacle DV' card came with a complete editing package with transitions and FXS to capture / edit and then create a movie to send back to a fresh tape or CD or VCD. |
