 Easy installation - great value March 19, 2007
I have found this product to be a great value. The price is very good, especially considering it saved me from purchasing a 4pin to 6pin "firewire" cable separately ($>10 savings). It installed more easily than I anticipated; probably took all of 5 minutes.
Doesn't work in FreeBSD 6.2 January 31, 2007
System starts to boot and finds the device, and all ports, then says "fwohci0: unrecoverable error"
It's not listed on the HCL, and therefore is not supported.
You'll need a DVD burner... September 1, 2004
2 out of 5 found this review helpful
...to really take advandage of this. Installation was super easy, although I ran into the TI thing like another reviewer. Oh well. Not much more I can say about this product; it works and that's all that really matters.
1/5/07 Update - I finally got a DVD burner for my computer and upgraded my OS to XP pro at the same time. Now I get much more use from this product and it has been performing flawlessly. No driver install was required with XP and it recognized my camera without any glitches.
 Does not recognize my sony camcorder July 30, 2004
3 out of 8 found this review helpful
I purchased this card based on the positive reviews here. However, my sony camcoder (TRV20) was not detected. I'm seeking technical support now. After I get their reply I will update this review. I use Windows XP pro.
Although this is a good card (according to reviews), it may not work for certain camcorders.
Could it get any easier? May 8, 2004
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
I was able to install the card with minimal effort or difficulty. The whole process was actually easier than I thought it would be. Within about 30 minutes of opening the package I had read the installation paperwork, installed the card, and had begun capturing video from my DV camcorder. The accompanying video editing software was also easily installed and useful as an application for novice editors. I installed it into a Dell Dimension 4600 running Windows XP Pro and my camcorder is a Canon Optura 20 if that makes any difference.
