Hi old school video nerds:
I use (PAL) analogue+"obselete" equipment such as video mixers, amiga, tube+dv cameras, whatevers lying around to make music videos.

I capture video with a ADVC 300 with firewire on a win 7 pc. It's stable. I have tried various USB2+3 capture cards/HDMI converters Elgato capture boxes on win10 and found them glitchy/lower quality/framedropping etc

Is there anything modern that has the quality and stability to capture composite video that I can use with a new laptop (usb3 I guess) before I continue capturing video with my old method? I did see some Roland stuff like the VR4HD captured n streamed composite but its a bit pricey and only has one composite input and loads of HDMI ones which I don't need.

Also sadly my Fairlight CVI video synth broke last year and I haven't found anyone with the expertise to fix it...It's niche but no harm in asking if there's anyone who knows something bout em
thanks for your elp'

@Kroc I do know of the #FireWire benefits, but I also know #8BitGuy so long that I also knew him as #iBookGuy!

Reminder that #USB is, and always was, a bad design; as usual for Intel. We had #Firewire, a true bus, and not the worst option of many, polling, like USB. We could have had everything USB-C offers now -- reversible plugs, power-negotiation, multi-protocol -- with Firewire decades ago if USB hadn't taken over. Firewire even had Ethernet-over-Firewire, at 400MBps, fifteen years before Thunderbolt would do the same.

Firewire didn't need a different plug for the computer-side and for the device-side (USB-A & USB-B) because it was a true bus. You could hook any two devices together via a normal Firewire cable and you'd get instant two-way communication. This is how the PS2 did link-play. USB pushed the workload on to the computer. USB-C solves the "who is the host and who is the client?" problem by putting a tiny *computer* into the cable, that's how insane USB has become.

Firewire has been gone so long now that most #Apple #Mac users probably don't even know that you could plug a Mac into another computer via Firewire, power it on holding T and the internal disk drive would appear *as an external HDD* to the other computer.

用初代 iPod 連駁 3 個轉接器 但新 macOS 不再支援 FireWire 用家嘆要珍惜上一個版本
Apple 在最新的 macOS Tahoe 26.0 中正式移除內建 FireWire 裝置支援，結束這項技術在 Mac 系統長達 26 年的歷程。用戶可透過系統資訊程式確認這項變化，該程式已不再顯示 FireWire 選項。

I remembered I may have some files on an old hard drive and was presented with these lovely connection options.

Amazingly I still have the #firewire 800-to-400 cable but the only computer I can plug it into (2009 MacBook) has a dud battery.

So now I need to buy either some kind of FW adapter or mini-USB to USB-C cable.

I never looked into the sata option, anyone know what that is?

I honestly didn’t know modern #macOS still includes the DVD Player app. So let me get this straight: they removed #FireWire support in #Tahoe, but kept the DVD Player app? @marioguzman #macOSTahoe

@Eemon @scarlett7447 yes, but it's daisy-chaining capability it borrowed from #SCSI are now in #Thunderbolt and #USB4...

#FireWire

Good grief #FireWire is finicky! Not sure if it's actually the #miniDV #Camera being troublesome or just the FireWire interface on #MacOS. I takes several reconnects and reboots (of both camera and computer) for the camera to be properly recognised by the OS.

And even during import I've already had a data connection loss. The FireWire cable is brand new, but the Thunderbolt 3 -> Thunderbolt 2 and Thunderbolt 2 -> FireWire adapters aren't. So...

Can anyone confirm the #macOS #Tahoe public beta restored support for #Firewire?

Firewire’s Flame Extinguishes in Tahoe

Unlike on macOS Sequoia and earlier versions, the first macOS Tahoe beta does not include a FireWire section in the System Settings app.

Of course, this could all end up being a false alarm. It is still early in the macOS Tahoe beta testing cycle, and FireWire support could return in a later beta version, or in time for the final release. We reached out to Apple for comment about the matter shortly before publishing this story, and we will update this story if we hear back.

Apple might be pulling Firewire’s plug in Tahoe.

🪦 Adiós FireWire…
macOS Tahoe lo ha matado oficialmente.
Ni con 3 dongles y rezando a Steve Jobs lo reconoce.
Hasta el iPod tiene más soporte.
¿Tan difícil era dejarlo morir con dignidad, Apple?
