Firewire!!

Firefox · 11-29-2005, 12:16 PM

I have just been bought a firewire card for my homebuilt pc so that i can use my video camera with Adobe Premier.

However i have just installed the card and it comes up as a networking device. Being a TOTAL firewire n00b are there 2 types of firewire card? ie 1 for networking and 1 for video capture or does it come up as a networking device because thats is there most widely used function??

All firewire ports in any computer show up under "network connections", it can used for anything though.

Thanks geoff5093...

Feel abit of a fool now

Still at least its ok, even tho she only paid £3.00 for it I would be mad if it was wrong...

All I need now is to wait for my camera batt to charge
