Just chiming in to say that Firewire (IEEE 1394) is *not* a variant of USB. Firewire writes directly to memory and is vastly superior/faster than USB. Also, note that your computer almost doesn't use any CPU while getting data from firewire, whilst it goes crazy if you transfer stuff via USB2. So they are not related. -- Beste helsing, Odin Hørthe Omdal <[email protected]> http://velmont.no _______________________________________________ Cinelerra mailing list [email protected] https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra
