So many firewire cards - which one to get?!
Hi,
I am wanting to edit video from my gs400. I already have some editing software, but now need a firewire card. I am confused by the huge amount of different ones available - ranging from 20$-1000s. All i want to do is capture video (often will be wide 16:9) without dropping frames. Ive been thinking of getting a very cheap LaCie 3-port firewire400 card. Or will a card like this not be sufficient for capturing video? Thanks Josef |
i'd get the cheapest one, with the fewest amount of ports... hook the external hard drives up via the usb 2.0 port instead of firewire.
you could look at the chipsets on the cards, if you wanted to differentiate 'em... maybe get a card with the the ti(texas instruments) chipset. |
I would at least get a FireWire800 card much faster and better for video...Then again I don't know what's available for a mac..

Oh I should have read the thread.. I thought it was about external harddrives.. If not, yeah any firewire card, port, dodad would do..
