Re: Daisy Chaining FireWire 400 Devices?
Hi Mike It can depend on what you are doing. If its video editing, my recomendation is to do it properly and get an eSata card fitted to your G5 and get the Mercury Pro Qx2 - eSata is the most reliable way to go. The G5 looks on esata as an internaly connected device on the motherboard, wheras firewire devices are treated as external ones. Also there is the temptation to unplug firewire hot, I know of several folk who have stuffed there motherboards because they hotplugged the firewire plug in backwards ( yes, a firewire card will probibally save this situation as well, you just kill the card which is cheap compared to a motherboard!) My two esata external HDD's have Never faulted, whereas the two FW's have Also, if you are sending large files of continious data (ie movie files) to and from drives and DVD writers the firewire highway gets a litte bit crowded with data so I dont like daisychaining either. However there are multipull F/Wire channels in the G5, so the cheapest way to go is to put the system drive in the G5 box,(thats on a sata channel) and the two other HDD's in separate external cases, each one on a differant fw channel - use the Fw800on one and Fw 400 for the other to ensure this , put the external optical drive on the remaining fw socket. However,If you want to do it right first time get the Mercury Elite Qx2 and a eSata card ( depending on model of the G5 - its either PCI, PCI-X or PCI-Express) and pop the drive,s you have in it. (but not the one with the system OS on it - keep that in the G5). The good thing about the Qx2 is that you can expand it as your budget and needs grow. If you are making your living out of it, choosing Enterprise Class HDD's on new purchases is a good idea.

Pros and cons, please? Daisy chaining is exactly how Firewire was designed to be used. Go for it! Consideration #1: Bus power. Firewire supplies some power, but runs out quick if you string up a bunch of leeching devices. Shouldn't be a problem if most of the devices have their own tho. Consideration #2: Performance (i/o bandwidth). Just like any bus, think about how you're using it. FW can throw about 390 Mbps. That's usually faster than most single devices can sustain. But if you ramp up on multiple devices at once... at some point it may pay to create multiple chains. If things seem twitchy, check your system log. The FW drivers are pretty good about logging reasonable messages there. At 12:02 AM -0800 3/1/2010, Michael G.M. wrote: Anyone?

Some companies do a better job of meeting FW specs than others. If you have a device that barely meets FW specs than it can cause problems if it is part of a chain. I have three external hard drives that I tried to hook up one day but ran into problems if they were hitched up in a certain order. Two of them are well known Mac compatible brands and the third ( hardly surprising ) a no-name cheapo box Placing them with the suspect box last in the chain fixed the problem.

The SCSI protocol (recall that FW is actually a form of SCSI-3) overhead is basically what knocks it down to 390. The rest is lost between cable length (bit errors that cause packet retrans or crc repairs), device lags, device buffering pauses, etc. ...by comparison look at USB 2. 480 Mbps raw, but since the main cpu does most of the work, the throughput gets chopped down to 350 Mb, before taking into account cable and device issues.

Re: iMovie 6
I'm running Leopard and my Canopus ACVC-300 can send video straight into iMovie, and it also did it just as easily in Tiger. I have several versions of iMovie, but I prefer iMovie 4 because you can edit video into the iMovie trash which will dump it off the hard drive when emptied. Later versions of iMovie had non-destructive editing which keeps the unwanted video on the hard drive, where it takes up space to no purpose. Actually, except for very short quick and dirty videos, I don't use iMovie to import video from the Canopus, I prefer Final Cut (either Express or Pro), because for videos of any length it has been my experience that the longer the video the more out of synch the video and audio get toward the end in iMovie. Any version of Final Cut, however, always keeps the video and audio tightly synchronized, even in a two-hour movie. How is it done (import the video), someone asked? You just connect the Canopus to the Mac with a firewire cable, and then feed video into the Canopus from a VCR, a DVD player, or whatever you have, and you can use a TV for a monitor to control the deck and also see what it's feeding into the Canopus (the TV is also connected to the Canopus), and you'll also see the video going into iMovie or Final Cut on the computer's monitor. I have a deck that has both a videocassette player and a DVD player, and either one can feed analog video into the Mac through the Canopus into iMovie or FC. If you're importing video into the Mac from a video camera, you take it directly from the camera, of course, no Canopus required. And when the Canopus is connected to the Mac to feed in video, both iMovie and Final Cut see it as a camera (for example, iMovie will say Camera connected).

At that time they cost about $39 list, a steal considering the big brick Apple units. Griffin also made an ADC to VGA adapter - I own one for my office G5 - sure came in handy.
