K230 1394 Firewire card....

Hey guys,
I just purchased a K230 K5287DW (53594QU) from newegg.com and its been running without MANY problems...I am trying to get it to recognise a 1394 Firewire PCI card that I just purchased from staples. In device manager sometimes the firewire card will show up but the majority of the time the computer doesnt even recognise the card... anyone have any ideas or know what the model motherboard on these things are? This things driving me nuts.

Here are your official specs:

No firewire. It is becoming rarer (less common) on laptops. If you had one it would look like this:
Some camcorders can use a memory card and many have a usb port for moving still images to a computer. The firewire is really only needed for capturing full-motion video for purposes of editing. If you must have a firewire port, there does not appear to be a way to add it as I do not see that your computer has an expresscard slot. You do have a cardreader slot so if you can transfer what is on the camera to an SD card you can then move the card to the laptop and transfer files that way. Otherwise look into the possibility for a usb transfer.

To capture the Mini-DV file through the 1394 firewire card from t

hii there!
first let mi make you understand what we people are doing ....
We people want to capture the Mini-DV file directly through the 1394 firewire card from the sony camcorder in to the MPEG2
format. Thent on the fly(i.e.during capturing into MPEG2) we also want to capture the metadata i.e (time,date etc. of the
original shooting event) into some text file. Our MPEG2 format requirements are: 8mbps viedeo,freq-48KHz,16 bit sterio,384
audio kbps, Deinterlace... we are using JavaMediaFramework-2.1.1e(Java Media Studio tool)..so we want to explore that tool
much more coz rightnow it's not supporting MPEG2(only supporting MPEG1) and also not supporting 1394 cpture card ...we want
the codec for converting DV-AVI to MPEG2 with date and time exctrated and much more explored details about JMf2.1.1 JavaMedia
Studio to get more familiar.....
for the above mentioned problem I am trying to add the mpeg2 codec inthe plugin of the jmf studio..and i have followed the
steps ..
Download the Codec from IBM
Extracted jmf.jar
Extracted codec.zip
Added files from codec folder to jmf folder
Made a jar out of it and name it jmf.jar
Replaced that with current jmf.jar (kept a backup)
Opened JMFRegistry and in "Plugins","Codec" and now unable to add " "
this becoz i am not knowing the exact way of recopiling that newly created jar file and because of that that mpeg-2 codedc is
not get added .....so i am looking forward for any help for the above mentioned problem!
I would be gratefull on getting ur help coz it's such challenging and techy concept to explore...
thanks..

Firewire IEEE 1394: Capture Card vs. On-Board Motherboard

I should know the answer to my question, but I don't...really. To capture video in my current computer, I had to install a video capture card with an IEEE 1394 Port. It is my understanding that there are motherboards that have "on-board" IEEE 1394 Firewire. If I purchase such a motherboard, does that mean I will not need a video capture card? In the specs of motherboards they will give the number of available IEEE 1394 Rear Panel Ports. Do these ports connect to "on-board" firewire and can they be used to capture video? Please set me straight. Thanks.

I agree with Neale. One consideration is the number of controller chips you have on either the MoBo connections, or your card.
Why is that important? Especially with Capture from a camera, it is always best to ONLY have the camera hooked to a separate controller chip. Some MoBo's and cards, might have multiple connectors, but they may all feed through a single chip. That might well preclude having any other FW device hooked to any of the other connections. Sometimes, it's tough to tell the number of IEEE-1394 chips, unless one has a good schematic of the board/card and the various chips are shown.
If one uses other FW devices, then the chip count will likely matter. While I have 4 MoBo connectors w/ 2x chips, I also have a multi-chip 4x connector card, plus a multi-chip 6x FW-1394b (FW-800) card.
The two things that you wish to avoid is daisy-chaining ANY camera, and connecting a camera to any shared chip. If I had a card already, and did not need to include it with the old computer, and had a spare slot on the MoBo, I'd install it too, but then I usually have 4-6 FW-800 externals, plus maybe 4 FW-400 externals, and still have empty chips available for my camera.
Good luck,
Hunt

T61p - IEEE 1394 (Firewire) port does not show up in device manager in Windows 7 x64

I have a T61p. On the front, in the left corner, right next to the wireless on/off switch, is a IEEE 1394 (Firewire) port. However, if I plug anything into it, it's not recognized by Windows, and if I go into the device manager in Windows, there is no IEEE 1394 host manager or ports or anything listed there.
I have rebooted and gone into the BIOS, and I don't see anything in there about 1394 either. Is the port there, but the hardwire inside is missing? Do I need to enable it somehow?

Let me clarify that. I have something in the device manager called "SD Host Adapters", and under that "SDA Standard Compliant SD Host Controller". That thing has a Microsoft driver.
However, under "IDE ATA/ATAPI contollers", I do see "Ricoh Memory Stick Contoller", "Ricoh SD/MMC Host Contoller", and "Ricoh xD-Picture Card Contoller".
I also have "PCMCIA adapters" that has "Ricoh R/RL/5C476(II) or Compatible CardBus Contoller".
So, it would seem I have the right drivers for the card reader, I'm just missing anything for the IEEE 1394 contoller...

Capture through firewire card

hello friends,
I want to capture video using firewire port in my laptop. Is
it possible to capture through firewire card?... If so how can i do
it?. Please help me ....
regards

When we start the Flash Media Encoder, there is an option for
"Microsoft DV" and we just use that.
If this doesn't appear as an option for you, download
WebCamDV from a company called Orange Micro. The program is only
like $20, but it makes your 1394 port look like a webcam. It will
then appear as a 'device' in encoder and you can use it for audio
and video.
ps - we are using a Windows PC not a MAC for this.

Firewire Card for H8-1256s desktop

Hello - I want to download videos from my camcorder and learned that my HP H8-1256s desktop does not have an IEEE 1394 firewire port. I was told I need a standard IEEE-1394 OHCI compliant firewire card. I have a couple of expansion slots available. I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium, 64bit. Can I install a firewire card? Which one should I buy and is it pretty simple? Thanks for your advice.
This question was solved.

Be careful to pick a card that does not require a separate power connection for 12V. I had gotten the Rosewill card that needs that and it would not work without getting some adapter cables to let me connect a spare hard drive power connector to the old style molex connector on the Rosewill card. Rather than do that, I just got a different 1394 card that was able to pull 12V from the PCI bus cardslot. The adapter cards are cheap. I also have a thread down below where I routed the 1394 connection to my front panel for a very clean and professional looking installation. That is probably more work than necessary, but my machine was new and I wasn't ready to live with plugging it in from the back.
The Rosewill RC-504 linked above is the one that needs MOLEX power connections to work. The one I got that worked like a charm was this one:

Hi
As far I know its possible to use 2 x PCMCIA cards Type II and 1 x PCMCIA card Type III. Furthermore the PCMCIA port supports 16 and 32 bit cards.
You can use the USB 2.0 + FireWire 1394 Combo PCMCIA Card like this one:

Of course you can also try to use another one.

Does my TM2 support a firewire card

Hi,
Does someone know if my TM2 supports a firewire card? Thanks.

No there is no practical way to add a firewire card. You have no expressport slot. There is such a thing as a usb to firewire adapter but they tend not to work very well for video capture.

HP Pavilion p-7-1240 need firewire card

Hello,
I need to add a firewire card to my
HP Pavilion Series Desktop, Model No. P-7-1240
Firewire, also known as IEEE 1394 or iLink
the Firewire card needs to have at least one 6 pin port, or possibly a 4 pin & a 6 pin port, or other ports etc.
The most important thing is to get a good reliable card that will work properly with my machine, & give me the ability to connect at least one 6 pin cable into it.
The machine at this time is factory correct & no other modifications have been done to it.
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
Your machine has:
Expansion Slots:
1 PCI Express x16 (Gen 2.0)
3 PCI Express x1 (Gen 2.0)
1 PCI Express Mini Card (Gen 2.0)
You need a PCIe - Firewire card. Many of them around such as:

(Note: you can use 3 or 4 ports card.)

Envy 700-074. Will this accept a firewire card?

Presonus sound board has Firewire. Is there a way to get it into our new ENVY 700-074?

Larry, welcome to the forum.
The motherboard has three PCI Express x1(Gen 2.0) slots. You can install a Firewire card into one of them. Here is a page on Newegg with some cards. You will have to determine if the board requires 1394 A (400 Mbps) or B (800 Mbps) and if it works with Win 8.
I don't know anything about the Presonus sound board, so I can't say for certain that it will work with your computer, however.

PCMCIA firewire card for G4 laptop (follow-up to excessive timecode breaks)

1.) It was recommended that I get a new firewire bus to resolve excessive timecode breaks when importing from a Canon camcorder to an external hard drive. I've been reading through posts on this topic...and saw getting a new firewire port mentioned a few times... How come when I called Apple to check on the cost of a new firewire card for my laptop Powerbook G4, I was told that nothing could be added without replacing the entire logic board? Am I missing something? I didn't say "PCMCIA firewire drive" - is that something special? Any idea of the cost to purchase and install?
2.) Apple recommended just capturing to my internal hard drive, and transfering the projects. Apart from this being cumbersome... I need a little verification: if I transfer PROJECT X to my external hard drive, then do I also need to transfer my Audio Render, Autosave,Capture Scratch, Render, Thumbnail, and Waveform folders? [I realize this is basic, but I'm wary of losing the information the project needs and getting it all messed up]

pcmcia is an card slot. If you have a 12" PB you may not have one.
If you have a pcmcia slot, buy the card. Slide the card into your computer and start up. Put the camcorder on the card and your fw drive on the port built-in to your computer. Even if this does not solve the timecode issues, it will save you other headaches in the future.
Question. Does capturing to your internal drive solve the timecode issues you are having?
I disagree with the advice of capturing to your internal drive and transfering the project after the fact. There are a bunch of reasons why, and all of them are qualified, so I hesitate to go further until I know whether or not capturing to the internal drive is making your timecode headaches go away.
I suspect capturing to the internal drive will not help the timecode issues which will make the whole point moot. But hopefully I'm wrong :>

ps
When you talk to representatives from Apple, you have to be conscious that if they are not specialists in the area you are focused on their advice may be based on general recommendations from an IT or home user perspective. There is a difference between talking to a sales person on the floor of the Apple Store and someone from the Genius Bar. And the person at the Genius Bar may have a tremendous background in network installations, but never have opened FCP. Or you might get lucky and get a FCP savvy genius, who would be a bit weak when talking about some other area.
This is not a knock, just a reality. It is difficult to be deeply conversant with even one area. It is not realistic for the generalists you usually deal with to know the best answers to very specific questions.
I'm working toward becoming a certified trainer with FCP and it is not easy or cheap to become an expert at this one application, never mind all the possible applications and hardware combinations for wildly different needs and budgets.
