capturing from DV via firewire nly with win98 SE?

[schlamassl]

Hi,

Does only WIN98 SE supports Firewire? I' ve got only WIN98, original edition, so do I need to update to WIN98SE or is there any driver or dll to download to enable WIN98 original for Firewire?
thx

Yes, unfortunately most of the firewire cards out there require win 98 se. you can get the upgrade for about $28 from Microsoft if you already own win 98.

You could also upgrade to windows ME, if you can't find a 98 SE upgrade in your area.

1. yes, you can capture with Win98, i have it on this machine, and it can capture perfectly.
2. you can order Win98SE from microsoft's Window's page.
3. good luck.

Hi Riot_Inc,

which Firewire-card do you use? Did you just install the drivers for the Firewire-card or do use some ...special software? Can you tell me the trick or is there none?

my mail is schlamassl@web.de

thx

Whatever you do please do not use Win ME! MAny including myself have found it to be unstable video-wise. Use either Win 98 SE, Win 2k or wait and try Win XP. Those who have pretested the working versions of XP state it is a great video supporter and a very stable system.
