I've had great results using a $4 Eas圜ap card using capture freeware and a good codec configured for high quality video.įirewire went extinct as fast as it became a commercial system because USB 2.0 absolutely crushed it in under 2 years time. I hate when so called knowledgeable techs promote an overpriced hunk of crap with a massive enclosure hiding the fact that there's about $3 in functional circuit and interface parts inside all coming from Asia anyway. This appears as a high frequency series of pulses measured as ons and offs by a logic circuit which is translated to a certain language which may be as simple as a compression container for video/audio data.Īnyway just buy the ancient firewire card for $5-$10 OR,īUY AN EASY CAP FOR YOUR VERSION OF WINDOWS/MAC FOR $5 ON EBAY. It's a SOFTWARE LANGUAGE ISSUE not connection.Īs an engineering student I can tell you ultimately EVERYTHING converts to binary but to get there the input device must speak then recode the same language as the output device to a language compatible with your OS or at least, video software.

If all else had failed, I had an old desktop machine with a built-in Firewire port…

Not being a computer expert, I suspect you would need a custom port driver for the usb port used for the Firewire connection for the computer to “understand” what it was receiving and, as far as I know, there isn’t such a driver out there. It worked perfectly and I got 5 DV tapes copied across into. I then plugged the Expresscard directly into an Expresscard port on another laptop. The problem seemed similr to the adapter cable. The USB port worked! But the Firewire ports did not work. I also bought an adapter cable to connect the card to my laptop usb port (the laptop doesn’t have an Expresscard port either). Next I bought an Express34 card (about 10/$15) which had 2 Firewire ports and a USB port. The laptop recognised that something was going on, but there was no recognition of the signal going through.

I have exactly the same problem, and was able to solve it:įirstly, I tried the cable adapter.
