using VideoStudio with Canopus products

[gary80920]

Because of hardware issues, I had to remove my ATI 9800 All-in-Wonder card. I have been a long time user of other Ulead products.

I would be curious to hear feedback from other users regarding the Canopus ADVC-50 and 55. I thought about the 100 & 110 but don't need the features.

I do have one question that may be off topic, but I think to use the ADVC, I have to connect it to an ieee-1394 port if it's used in a 5 1/4 bay. Is this also true if I use it in a PCI slot.

Thanks!!

Depends upon which ADVC.

One is a stand alone box that needs a IEEE1394 in the computer, other is a IEEE1394 card and converter.

I don't know about VS, but Ulead Tech Support confirmed about 8 months ago that the 50 model does not work with Ulead MF3. The 100 does though, so beware.

The signal is DV in, it shouldn't matter what the NLE.

There is no device control, of course, nor is there any timecode.

There is a timecode, but it's free-running -- it continually goes up. The ADVCs do not respond to device control (though they acknowledge device control commands), so you obviously can't rewind etc.

I have an ADVC-300.

Ah, yes.

I should have said that 'there's no timecode in the *traditional sense*.'

It does run continuously.
