Audio Drift Issue (47.962 khz & 29.96 fps???)

Okay, well, I definitely didn’t set the deck (or change the configuration when I got it), so that may be it.

As for the Firewire connections, I had the deck connected to my Powerbook’s Firewire 400 and a hard drive connected to my Firewire 800. Could that cause the problem? (I wasn’t sharing a hub or daisy-chain.)

It might. All macs have only one internal firewire bus, desptire how many firewire ports are on the machine.

Do you suggest, then, installing a second firewire card on a Mac Pro? What would be a good solution for a laptop?

If using firewire for both capture and media storage, yes.

You get a fw Express/34 card (intel) or a fw PCMCIA card (PPC) and separate the bus that way.
