Do I even need an IEEE139a card?
I am totally new to Video capture and MM2. I have a digital JVC camera which
came with a cable that hooks into the camera and then into a Firewire slot of my computer. I never bought a firewire card and wonder what it does and whether I even need one. Also, what is a good and easy to understandable book on MM2? MY OS is Windows XP with SP2 installed. |

Do I even need an IEEE139a card?
If you have a firewire port on your PC then you do not need an extra one.
Your camera may also have USB2? If so you will need to make sure your PC also has USB2. I don't know MM2. Good luck M -- http://www.MettaWeb.com "Ritter197" wrote in message ...

Do I even need an IEEE139a card?
The camera is a JVC GR DVL 805 Digital movie camera. It came with a cable
that fits into the camera on 1 end and the other fits into the computer, a fairly recently built one. I assume 1 end is USB and the other (it looks different) is Firewire. The thing I noticed though, is that the monitor window in MM2 shows the images taken at night very dark, almost black, whereas on the monitor window of the camera they were fine. Is that attributable to such a card or MM2? "Mettá" wrote in message ... If you have a firewire port on your PC then you do not need an extra one. Your camera may also have USB2?

I took it to my very reliable computer store. It is not the same type of
endings, since 1 end fits into the digital camera. That end is small. The other end is Firewire and fits ONLY in the firewire slot. My computer store technician agrees.

The Asus board comes with a Firewire port and USB 2 ports.
The "plugs on the cable will be different sizes because some cameras have a reduced size socket due to limited space. This applies to USB and FIREWIRE ports.
