| 506977 | 2006-12-15 23:30:00 | Hi I am having alot of problems with my firewire. i wanted to test them out on latest OS such as Vista the latest beta. and linux. i am going to plug in my VDO camera . has anyone tried it yet?. |

| 506978 | 2006-12-15 23:39:00 | I haven't tried either of them . Whats it saying when u plug the cam in? Does Vista detect it? Wouldn't the driver have to be 64 bit? Did you try changing the firewire card? from a VIA card to something else?? Maybe its stuffed? I take it, u turned the cam on , so Windows could see / detect it? |

| 506980 | 2006-12-15 23:59:00 | Don't think this card is VIA . I don't know what it is . But it's working . So, you have onboard firewire and a PCI firewire card? Or just the PCI firewire card? I know the onboard chipset isn't VIA . For the mobo . Its Intel . You haven't given either ip addresses have u? Coz u don't . If u know what DSE card it is, go back to the DSE site . It'll tell u what the chipset is . . |

[QUOTE=Speedy Gonzales;507700]So, you have onboard firewire and a PCI firewire card? i have a onboard one originally . PCI i had from my old pc . used it on my new one but no luck Or just the PCI firewire card? I know the onboard chipset isn't VIA . For the mobo . Its Intel . My mobo is MSI 945 P platinum . I know the firewire is VIA bcoz it has big VIA writings on the chips on mobo & it says VIA Ohci compliant . . . in device manager You haven't given either ip addresses have u? Coz u don't . NOooo! If u know what DSE card it is, go back to the DSE site . It'll tell u what the chipset is . . I bought it from DSE 3 years ago i dont think they sell now . Its called Dolphin the chipset on it has a dolphin sticker but under it says VIA chk out . dolphinfast . com/dolphinfast-bin/support . cgi" target="_blank">www . dolphinfast . com |

| 506982 | 2006-12-16 09:22:00 | Both your onboard and PCI Firewire chipsets are apparently supported by Linux so they should work fine . PCI - Dolphin Firewire ( . dolphinfast . com/products/1394 . html" target="_blank">www . dolphinfast . com) Onboard Firewire - VIA 6307 chipset ( . linux1394 . org/view_device . php?id=595" target="_blank">www . linux1394 . org) |

| 506983 | 2006-12-16 09:41:00 | What about Vista?. Can i use bootable linux to connect vdo cam? | gum digger (6100) | ||
| 506984 | 2006-12-16 09:48:00 | You can certainly try using a Linux live-CD to access your video camera. You might have to try more than one as live-CD's can be a bit more limited with what they support compared to a hard drive installed OS. Cannot comment on support under Vista. |

| 506985 | 2006-12-16 09:51:00 | OK i willl try linux 2mrw. Can someone help me find a non - VIA firewire?. | gum digger (6100) | ||
| 506986 | 2006-12-16 17:24:00 | Ah thats what it is, mine is a Dolphin PCI card . I remember seeing Dolphin on it like in the pic in the link u gave . Its got 3 inputs on the back and one connection on the card, which u can use internally . BUT, if u use the internal connection, it'll use one of the external connections (so u cant use one of the external connections at the same time) . I would say mine is the same as yours . So, it should work (on XP) . I'm pretty sure I got this card from DSE . Which was a while ago now too . Hmm if that mobo which by the looks of it does have firewire onboard, I would try and figure out how to enable it, it maybe enabled but u need a bracket for the onboard connections . And it looks like it uses the same chipset as that PCI card . |
