Meanwhile, I have question maybe someone can give an opinion on. My only complaint about my combo board is that firewire video out isn't stable unless I turn off usb (hide the extensions.) Even then, with everything else turned off, it still drops the occasional frame. This is not a major problem for me since I output to DVD or VCD which isn't affected, but it does mean I can't monitor iMovie edits or color corrections on an analog monitor, except as stills. When I raised this on the list some time back, one opinion was that the problem was the bandwidth of the combo board, which implies that a seperate firewire card would handle the task. My three pci slots contain the combo, a Radeo 7000 and an ATA133 Acard so I can't afford to have seperate boards. So I am wondering if it is the combo board or whether the pci bus of a Beige just can't handle it. Anyone know? By the way, dv firewire in is fine with usb enabled. Go figure.
