VIA OHCI 1394 Firewire and MSP7.3 capture

[jeff b]

I recently went through a frustrating troubleshooting cycle after having my SIIG 1394 card bite the dust on the old computer. I hastily replaced it with a VIA chipped board, and things got ugly. But, in the end, even the cheap garbage can be made to work by sticking to the standard of using the 32kHz sampling rate on DV audio. This VIA card doesn't handle the 48kHz rate audio well at all.

The old platform:
Gigabit PIII-1 gigahertz, VIA chipset
Turtle Beach Santa Cruz sound card
Promise Ultra 100 TX2 with 4 250gig WD 7200 drives
Generic (CompUSA) VIA chip firewire card
Dual Boot (using homemade switch):
C drive: WinME
D drive: Win2k
Media Studio Pro 7.3
