Firewire

Basically I'm new to firewire, never used it before and know nothing about it other than it's better than USB so I got a firewire card, I captured stuff with a capture card before and the quality was never too good.

Has anybody got any tips on capturing with it like what program(s) to capture with and settings and stuff like that and also do I need more drivers or can I just plug it in my cam and set it to capture from the firewire connection like you do with USB?

Many thanks guys and hope you have a good Christmas!

Capture with Premiere, uncompressed DVAVI.

Go.

What circa said, if you already set up your firewire connection. Easy as eating strawberries.

OK cool so just plug in and go, haven't really had the chance to try it out yet but thanks guys just wanted to know that it was easier than I was thinking it would have been. haha :-)

format

I already started watching videos longer than 2 seconds to see if that would help and you want me to format too now? :'-(

Yeah, but its a capturing issue. The captured clip has to bee over 2 seconds firewire will burn. If the fire starts, format is needed.

lol @ being new to firewire
