retroz Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 I know the intel board has onboard firewire, but my sound is firewire and wondering if anyone has tried PCI FIREWIRE CAPTURE cards, and if so , what cards and what motherboards? I searched the HCL for 10.4.5 and didn't find much about it. Sort of funny I guess, most MAC users are very saavy to video, whereas the OSX86 folk, messing around, wonder if they have tried a video camera yet? My Intel FW works fine, but I use it for Mackie audio.... Thinking about getting a ASUS board so I can overclock and it DOES NOT have FW, so wondering how these people are doing any editing at all! Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fOZf8 Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 I have two VIA chip based FW PCI cards working in two totally different flavors of hackintoshes. The intel based one has a GMA 900 on the 915G chipset and it capped DV from the PCI firewire in DVD studio pro right off the bat...didn't have to change anything, no dropped frames at all, audio intact etc...more than I can say for my experience capping in XP, always have to tweak the OS out first. I only capped that once, but it was a full hour long, so I trust it's stability for it. Oh yeah, it worked great as a live dv source as well for fun stuff like Arkaos...of course, Arkaos being PPC based still, and me having a lowly gma900, more than 2 video layers in Arkaos pretty much drops 28 out of 29 frames...different ball of wax completely there though.

KTC Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 If the FW controller is OHCI compliant should work without problems........... I've tried with FW port on a Audigy PCI (OHCI compliant) and with a PCI card no brand and both of them worked perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardinal Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 If the FW controller is OHCI compliant should work without problems........... I've tried with FW port on a Audigy PCI (OHCI compliant) and with a PCI card no brand and both of them worked perfectly. I just put my old Audigy PCI (the original Audigy cca 2001) card in my computer and it doesn't seem to be recognized. I don't have any FireWire devices at the moment to test with, but I don't see any FireWire extensions loaded. What version of OSX did you use Audigy Firewire with?

vitorfraga Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 yes.... it works.., no problem at all.. I`m using Intel 945 gtp and a old pci firewire(IEEE 1394 Open HCI) on slot2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
consolation Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 works fine with the chipset in my sig. I also used nec chiped cards without much ado. VIA can be weird, AFAIK the 6036 chip are ok but I couldn't 6037 ones to work. (I may have bollocksed up the numbers, anyhow; if it has a 7 in it, it's bad...)

Lostgame Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Heh, I can *sort of* confirm it, but I'm on real Apple hardware-I assure you, the GMA 950 handles FireWire fine in iMovie *and* Final Cut Express. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
