adrock42 Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 I bought a Canopus ADVC1394 pci capture card used from amazon for use on a video webcast. It worked great with the streaming software and the streaming server and with quicktime pro. Its an ohci compliant device that requires no driver. The problem is when i have the card in the hac and try to capture with a firewire cable from my dv deck, FCP thinks the audio is coming from the stereo inputs on the card and ignores the dv audio over firewire. The answer i got from the FCP discussion forums is that it should just work. I tried building my own capture preset and for audio, there is no option for advc audio, just advc video and dv-vcr audio, but when using the dv-vcr audio option it listens to the advc audio inputs I currently using taruga's patcher for my audio. is there a way to patch the audio or add a device string somewhere, or something that will allow me to capture that dv audio as a device as well as still having the ADVC audio work when I need it. Also when i try to capture with a minidv cam to the firewire card and i have an external harddrive plugged in it doesnt work. i ether get one or the other. when i plug the minidv cam (canon zr800) the hard drives are ejected.

adrock42 Posted September 2, 2008 Author Share Posted September 2, 2008 In switching the position of my pci cards things change. Sometimes I can get audio and video with no control in FCP, sometimes i get control but no audio or video. very strange. any thoughts of anything would help.

adrock42 Posted September 4, 2008 Author Share Posted September 4, 2008 Well i'm dumb. You must use the 4 pin firewire to capture any from any firewire source if you have this card in your computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
