Padarsey PCIe Firewire Card for Windows 10, IEEE 1394 PCI Express Controller 4 Ports(3 x 6 Pin and 1 x 4 Pin), 1394a Firewire 800 Adapter for Windows 7/8/Mac OS with Low Profile Bracket and Cable

Card was recognized immediately in a Dell 3670 on Windows 10. Sony Digital 8 VCR worked perfectly. I have no reason to downrate even though it was much less expensive than the alternatives. Easy install and was even able to use it with a legacy copy of Windows Movie Maker.

Firewire is an outdated technology but nothing is better at transferring miniDV tapes from an old camcorder. Unfortunately, most Firewire cards don't work on modern versions of Windows. Read the reviews of other cards and you'll see frustration with driver issues, computer lockups, and less-than-perfect transfers. I gave this card a shot because it specifically said: "for Windows 10" in the description. This card has a Molex power port and I wonder if that might be part of the reason it works so well. My PC still has Molex cables but a SATA to Molex adapter should work. I was able to digitize all my tapes using the included Firewire cable and free WinDV software.

Installed this card in a Gigabyte GA-Z77-HD3 system and it immediately prevented my computer from displaying video output through my graphics card and integrated graphics - I tested multiple BIOS configurations with the same result. Even when placed in a PCIe x1 slot, the system would not boot properly unless I removed the card. when I forced the onboard graphics or the graphics card, it crashed on startup. This behavior indicates the card is misprogrammed or reports an incorrect device ID to the system.

Excellent quality dv cable with FireWire pc port used pci e slot found on most pcs easy to install windows 10 has 1394 drivers built into it. FireWire has one end normal port plug and other end mini FireWire to plug into camcorders used in 2000 to 2012 before the smartphone era

Works well plug n play

I have a windows 10 computer. Unfortunately, nothing I've done- and I have spent weeks on the problem, tweaking settings both in windows and bios side, resetting mobo jumpers, you name it- will stop it from telling my PC to start. So, if I shut the computer off, it will start up automatically. I have to turn the power supply off to prevent the issue. I cannot shut my PC off with it installed. Apparently this is a problem with some Firewire interfaces/cards/what have you on PC. The only solution I've reliably read from users is to find another card.Functionality, it worked with my firewire hardware well. Zero issues in that department. Used it with a MOTU audio interface no problem.

After some trouble shooting and reading, I got mine to work great! As one of the other helpful reviews mentioned, I connected the molex power and closed the fold out display on my Cannon GL1 and voila! I gotYou capture! I'm very impressed with the quality as well! My capture PC is running windows 10.

Did not work for either a MiniDV DCR-TRV33 MiniDV camcorder or a DCR-TRV460 8mm camcorder on Windows 10. I was able to install the card, and used the Molex connector. Windows does detect the card as a Texas Instruments 1394 card and installs it automatically. However, the camcorder itself, while plugged in, is not detected by any of the software programs used to capture video. I tried 3 different cables I have on hand as well. I also attempted to use the legacy 1394 driver for Windows 10 x64 but that also did not work. I will be returning this card due to this issue. I read that the VIA chipset versions work better with Windows 10, so I will be trying that next time. I gave 2 stars instead of 1 because the card WAS detected in Windows 10 and may actually work for other needs, like legacy audio equipment and the like. However, for Sony i.Link and Windows 10, it did not work for me.
