The
likely cause: the chipset used for the FireWire connection
is not
video-friendly (we had this same problem with two of
our
three fast computers, and installing a TI-chipset FireWire
card
[and/or the Raptor...] - after uninstalling the driver for the
built-
in FireWire and disabling it [great, huh?! - really "video-ready"
some of
these new computers are not!]). BTW, old 200MHz
PCs
work just fine with the Raptor and old IDE drives - speed is
not the
issue... Also BTW, it is easier to write DVDs from MS-codec
files
than from Canopus-codec files (darn...! ;-). And, also, also BTW,
I also
hate computers - but they *can* help us (sometimes...;-) do
things
we couldn't do otherwise...
