While I have seen a Thunderbolt 3 PCIe card (made by Gigabyte), the motherboard must have a compatible Thunderbolt header in order to install it.2 2. I have an ASRock motherboard with a Thunderbolt 3 port but, unfortunately, they are an uncommon feature on computers that were not made by Apple and can't be added simply by buying a PCI-e card. I'm guessing that Xander either doesn't want to install a firewire card or can't because he has a laptop. You then pull in the DV video stream with something like ScenalyzerLive or WinDV, plus a number of video editors like Premiere. Regardless of the Firewire hardware used on Windows you'll need to manually install the Firewire driver from (plus change permissions on a registry key if you're on Windows 10).Ī one-piece FireWire 800 to 4-pin Firewire cable would be a good idea as well. The Apple dongle route works on both macOS and Windows. Cheap UVC (USB Video Class) compliant DV adapters are typically "you get what you pay for" affairs with various issues like no AV/C VTR control and USB bus contention. Your best options for maximum stability are either a PCIe card based on the Texas Instruments XIO2213B chip ( typical example) or use Apple's Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter in combination with Apple's Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter. You can use IEEE 1394 / Firewire on a modern PC, which is best done using either a PCIe card or Thunderbolt. My wife has an iMac but it is 2019 and I am pretty sure it does not have firewire either. My Windows 10 PC does not have a firewire card, so I guess one would be needed to try that method. I don't know precisely what is causing your problem but transferring your DV recordings to your PC using firewire and converting the DV AVI to mp4 with something other than VLC would probably produce better results. I have not used Virtualdub2 but it is considered to be a better choice than VLC and easier to get working than GraphStudio.
Most recently I used GraphStudio for capturing from a composite video source but it isn't beginner-friendly. I have tried VLC but IMO it is not the best choice for analog capture.
The picture was "jumping", I am guessing the indexing errors had something to do with that. I figured out how to use VLC to convert it to a much smaller MP4, but the 27 min video started having trouble after about 1:43. I emailed the Vidbox company (formerly Honestech) but they said the model is no longer supported and it cannot be guaranteed to work with Windows 10.īack to the VLC option, it outputted a massive AVI file. Because I have another one from ENMVG and its software does not work anymore either. My wife has an iMac but it is 2019 and I am pretty sure it does not have firewire either.Īs far as these cheap capture devices like the Vidbox, it seems like the software is not supported very long by the company that produces them.
