This review is from: IOGEAR GIC1394 FireWire PCI Card (IEEE 1394) (Personal Computers)

I'm using Windows XP on a 1.8ghz P4

XP detected it immediatley upon boot up. My JVC Mini-DV was also detected right away when I plugged in the firewire cable.

I also purchased the 6 foot firewire cable. I would suggest not getting a cable any shorter than 6'

If you plan on tranferring your video to VCD, you may want to invest in a good video editing program like Adobe Premiere.

I used the Windows Video Maker to capture the video and Nero Burning Rom to make the VCD. It looked "OK" on the TV.

I will be investing in some video software soon

My Iogear GIC1394 was installed on a Dell Dimension 4700 Pentium 4 running Windows XP. The video capture device was not recognized. Device Manager indicates the card is not supported by Windows XP. System crashed. Spent all night restoring system. I repeatedly submitted requests for support which after 4 days have gone unanswered. What a massive waste of time and $$$. Never deal with IOGEAR.

Highly recommended. The installation was simple. XP detected the drivers and set it up instantly. Was able to hook up external hard drive without any problems. Even comes with software to create your own digital movies. Learning the software is not as easy as installing the PCI card.
Overall, very satisfied with this product.
