Hi,
I recentley purchased an ALi Compatible
1394 Firewire PCI Card for my PC so that
I can capture video off my digital Camera.The problem starts when I try to capture
Video from Adobe Premiere 6., but I get a
message saying could not find Capture
Driver.I called the supplier who I bought the card
from ( Dabs Direct )and they said to down
load the drivers from the site but I could
not find any relating to 1394 firewire
cards.I have tried downloading the the Direct X 8
patch from Microsoft, but with no effect.I am running Win 98 Second Edition and I
am in desperate need of help.So could please somebody help me
Cheers,
Le Monkey
Hi!
I have the same card, but do not use it under Windows. As far as I have found informations this should be useable with a standard OHCI driver which should be part of Windows. Under Linux I "only" managed to crash the 1394 driver but I did not use a very current kernel.
With best regards,
Reinhard

I bought this card from dabs too but under win2k there was no problem with a driver although so far the two apps I have tried hung during capture - I have just found out about the http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/release.asp?ReleaseID=28377 directx update which I will try and report back if I am successful..

I am looking through this site which seems quite helpful:

I also just bought this card from dabs. I notice they have stopped supplying it.
I have no problem capturing video using the card (revision d) using win 98 se and direct X 8.1. but cannot write the video back to the camera.
With the camera off in device manager (control panel -> system ->devices) you should see a 1394 Bus Controller device type containing a OHCI IEEE 1394 Host Controller. When you switch the camera on a new device type should appear called Image Device containing a Microsoft DV camera and VCR device. If this occurs MS 1394 device control should work. If however you get 1394 DV camera appearing instead under Sound, Video and Game controller then the old TI drivers are installed and need updated to the Microsoft ones. So reads one of the FAQs I've read trying to diagnose the problem.

Different Card but same problem.
I'm using a Firewire PCMCIA card under W2K. I can capture fine, but get nothing when I try to write. I've tried getting every latest driver (DX8.1, etc) but can't seem to find any driver updates for the actual OHCI controller.
Hope somebody fixes this.

I have got this working on Win2k
The card appears as a 1394 bus driver when installed.
However unless I Boot 2k with the DV turned on when it boots the Imaging Device does not appear and will not appear when I connect and switch on post boot up, if thats not there then forget it nowt happens but errors.
I can capture fine, and I can export to DV fine. (I have a Sony DCRTRV10e uk model, which I had to hack the bios to enable DV-IN)
I intalled the DX8 drivers, then the update to DX8 for DV cameras
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/release.asp?ReleaseID=28377
Then to be doubly sure I installed DX8.1
And Hurrah it works, its no DV studio plug and play card but for for 20 quid I cant complain,now.
