I'm confused. I have two firewire drives. Have used both as capture drives during my experience with VV. What sort of problems have you run into that make you assume there is a problem using FW drives for capture? Maybe I'm missing something.
My question is directed to the thread. What is all the talk about a 900/911 bridge? I don't understand what it is, why it should be necessary.
I capture regularly via SF's vidcap or Pinnacle Systems' capture facility to external firewire drives. Have not experienced any problems I can attribute to drive speed/compatiblity.
What is this bridge, why might it prove useful to me?
