our video input device is a datavideo DAC-15 (see http://www.datavideo.info/en/products/dac15.shtm for details)

and the video input to the compter works fine, its just catalyst that wasnt liking it.

However, we ldepart for the show tomorrow, so we will just ahve to see if we can make it work.

I will write back when i return saying if we got it going or not
restart the computer with this plugged in and working and see what happens.
apple firewire drivers have been reported to not initialise correctly unless device present at computer startup-

apple software like iMovie uses a different strategy to do firewire video - they read directly from the device -and dont use the public quicktime api's
