Well, I finally just gave up and purchased a Firewire PCI Card Bus and Firewire cable and had little trouble whatsoever after that. There was some stuttering on a few “takes” and I just printed to tape again, with good quality. I’d say overall, it was well worth the extra trip to the store and a little extra expense and I wish I’d thought/known to do this in the beginning. Thanks to all of you for your input.
