right ieee 1394 capture card for edius 9

[speco]

Hi All,
I am trying to convert vhs to edius 9
I have my vhs player connected to my Panasonic mini dv video player with svhs in and audio in all works fine ...
I am looking for a ieee1394 firewire capture card that will work with edius9

I have tested it on a friends computer using a basic video editing software with a ieee1394 card with all the same connections and it works fine
can anyone recommend the right capture card i need to install so edius can recognize and capture?
Cheers

Firewire (IEEE1394) will require an internal card. Have a look in your system to see if you have a free slot for the card first of all and determine the kind (PCIe or PCI). If you do, any card with a TI chipset will work, if you can find one, as they are getting scarce. Personally I have a SIIG card in my system and it works great. I'd recommend not choosing one that is FW800 though. Cameras and other video equipment used FW400 and I have heard of some devices refusing to work when connected to a FW800 port, even though they theoretically should work.

I need a PCIe card
I have seen some cards that are 100-400 and 800 speed compatible.Would they pose any problems?

You don't need a card. I capture from a Panasonic 7650 to a Dazzle that plugs into USB using their software. Then I load the captured file into Edius and edit from there. A card will give you no better quality than Dazzle. I used to capture with a card and firewire on earlier Edius programs and there is no difference in quality. It was the ADVC-100. You can order from Pinnacle direct or Amazon.

This is the card I use in my system with my Sony FX-1 HDV camera. Works perfectly.

This was the last one I bought and it works fine in my Threadripper system https://www.amazon.ca/axGear-PCIE-PC...rewire-Windows

There was only firewire 400 and firewire 800 chips. Some devices only operated at a 100 or 200 speed, but were designed to use the 400 chip, so you can ignore the 100 and 200 speed specifications. Firewire 400 uses a 6pin connector on the cards usually, and a 4 pin on smaller cameras (some cards had a 4 pin and "pro" cameras had a 6 pin), while firewire 800 uses a 9 pin connector. Whatever card you get, based on my experience, if it has an actual 6 pin connector the chip should be able to negotiate the required 400 speed properly.

Ron says he had luck with a VIA chipset card, and to be honest, I have used them with success also, but they historically have not been as reliable as the TI chipset cards. This recommendation is from my experience as a system intergrator/builder/reseller/dealer for about 15 years and about 12 or 13 years since then working in a video post production house and still supporting my clients from my days as an intergratoer/dealer. That SYBA card that Lew linked to looks like one I would recommend. It's a TI chipset and the price is right. The SIIG card I have is expensive to buy, but it was a freebee for me. If I had to buy one, the SYBA looks good.

In my second 4790K PC I have a StarTeck card which has the Ti chipset. Feed either PC from my Sony GV-DH700/1 for DV and HDV also from my VHS decks . The DHR 1000 also feeds for large cassettes. I have to say though I do not use EDIUS for capture as I have always used Vegas. Neither card has given me a problem so far. I bought these cards last year as I normally capture into my old 3770K system ( that had on board connection ) and I now use for mail etc.

I have a new Firewire 400 card in stock, it has 4pin and 6pin connector and is tested to work with EDIUS and Win10

Hello . windows 10 edius 10.30.8291 does not see the 1394 controller, the driver is installed 1394 OHCI Compliant Host Controller (Legacy) . where to look about the problem? Thank you.

EDIUS 10 no longer supports firewire, use EDIUS 9 to capture and then edit in 10

I am unsure why firewire had to be destroyed as I use it often, and as such I fire up EDIUS 9

you could compare this to trying to buy a PC case that can hold burners, they are almost extinct, the makers assume that nobody burns any more

and possibly the same assumption is that nobody captures via firewire any more

Thank you for the clarification.
