Hey guys. I read a detailed instruction manual, not long ago, that says "Legacy" drivers are not required to run Scenalyzer under Windows 11. Is anyone reading this using the stock Windows 11 driver with any success?
Thanks to all, in advance, for your time.
Do you by some chance mean the legacy Windows 1394-IEEE drivers with TI Chipset Firewire Adaptors?
Or something else?
Please be specific, thanks.
@Musicvid Yes. I am referring to the " legacy Windows 1394-IEEE drivers with TI Chipset ". In fact, under Windows 10, you are the one that told me I needed the legacy drivers. I used legacy drivers for years under Windows 10 with little to no issues. In researching Windows 11, I found someone stating that under Windows 11, legacy drivers are no longer needed. I'm asking for a second opinion. It's my understanding that under the hood, Windows 11 is just Windows 10 with lipstick.
It's just that many of the users here have never had computers with firewire, or know what it is used for. The firewire capture utility is now completely gone from Vegas 20. They will wonder if it is something applies to them unless your spell it out for everyone.
;?)
Out of curiosity, share your findings when you get it working.
I, personally, would think that you would need the legacy driver. But I don't have any current systems that have Firewire anymore. Used it exclusively when first starting to capture from our DV cameras. Certainly was a pain to take 1 hour to capture 1 hour of footage!
THIS article is dead wrong: https://www.studio1productions.com/Articles/Firewire-1.htm
The funny thing is, it's dated MARCH of THIS year (2022), AND indicates it was "updated" to include this specific information about NOT needing the legacy driver, (for WINDOWS 11).
The fact is, If you want to use Scenalyzer Live with Windows 11, you MUST continue to use the legacy Windows 1394-IEEE drivers with TI Chipset. I do not care what they say in this article. I'm having a hard time grasping what capture device they tested that was able to use the stock driver that came with Windows 11. I use an ADVC-300 connected to a "Ableconn PEX-FW107 1394b & 1394a 3-Port PCI Express (PCIe) Low Profile FirwWire Host Adapter Card - TI XIO2213 Chipset"
Again, Scenalyzer Live may NOT recognize your capture device without the use of legacy Windows 1394-IEEE drivers with TI Chipset in Windows 11. The day may come when a later version of Windows breaks all ability to capture using these legacy drivers and the like.
When I was told Windows 11 was basically Windows 10 with lipstick, they were not lying. +1 for @jetdv. We still need the old legacy Windows 1394-IEEE drivers with TI Chipset as you suspected. +1 @Musicvid because the only reason I even knew such a driver was needed, for Windows 10, was because he told me. Thankfully, I never forgot it. All seems to be working fine, at the moment, with my captures.
