Edius 4.6: no DV input/output from OHCI

[Belphegor]

I connect DV cable to the built-in connector of my Asus P5K motherboard and then lauch Edius 4.6 and create a new project.
I get no firewire input/output.
Then I close Edius and relaunch it.
Then everything's fine: perfect input/output from my firewire cable.

This also happens if I close Edius project and open it again.

Any ideas about this issue?

what do you have connected to the end of the cable? a camera? wgich one? a deck? which one?

do you have Sp2 or SP3 installed?

[Belphegor]

I have connected a Pioneer DVR 520-H hard disk recorder.
I run Xp Pro with sp2.

Are you using a firewire card or the on board firewire?

I use the the onboard Firewire 1394 port equipped by default on the Asus P5K motherboard.

Google that board and Firewire problems, you aren't the only one having issues. Your best bet may be a PCI Firewire card.

I thought so, try and get yourself a firwire card, very very cheap now.

but to find one that fits? I bought several PCI firewire cards and none fit the PCI slots on my Supermicro board

the cut out grove is on the wrong side

He might have to spend a bit of time on Google Anton, and see what he can come up with. Should be no problem though, it is only a retail Asus board,

Sounds like your PCI firewire cards are 5-volt only... hence the groove is in the wrong spot (the slot is keyed for 3.3-volt or universal cards only)

Newer ones should be universal, or you could get a Firewire 800 card which should be 3.3-volt compatible.

I have 2 P5K-E MBs chosen because of recommendations here. I was not aware of and never experienced any firewire problems, in fact I have recently started to use the FW port for capture with to date 100% success, rather than the NX in an attempt to avoid the dreaded Drive too slow.

To the original issue, Belphegor have you tried connecting to Edius with the UNIT OFF and then switching it on, something you should always do anyway to avoid blowing the FW port on some units anyway
