Plugged it into the MB and booted to Win11. Was found automatically without a problem. Plugged in the old Sony DCR-TRV460 camcorder and both soft-wares I have found it. They recorded from the camcorder and controlled it.

Got this after reading reviews here, like many others i have some older firewire Audio interfaces that will still work with windows 10 (M-audio Profire 610 and Alesis iO/26) I also have a small form factor Hp PC so the included smaller bracket was important.Many older Firewire Audio interfaces prefer a Texas instrument (Ti) chip, this is important.Installation was simple, Win 10 Pro recognized and everything worked.Would recommend this card.

The LinksTek firewire card was incredibly easy to install, even for those who are technically challenged (me).It took about 5 minutes and one screwdriver to add the card to my HP desktop. I wanted to convert old mini-DV tapes to MP4 files using Pinnacle Studio 25 and it's import function. I just plugged the firewire cable into the card and camera and it worked instantly! I was able to control the camera functions (stop, ff, play & reverse) and the picture quality was better than expected. For under $20 you just can't go wrong!

Does the job! bought this to use in my asus za690 pro gaming motheroard to capture video from my sony DCR_TRV24e handycam Hi8 tapes. Drivers were already installed in device manager on windows 10. Had to use virtualdub2 using 32bit as 64bit doesn't show any video but the kit does what you need it to.delivery was expected for the 15th but arrived 5 days early which was great.would give 5 stars but the box packaging had a tear on it and the seal was broken as if someone had opened it.

Worked great using the Win10 built in OHCI driver. Fired this card up with WinDV for capturing and I was pulling live video from an ancient/jury rigged Sony TRV-350.I imagine these days most people will be buying this old tech to talk to old DV/D8 cams in order to convert tapes, or trying to talk to some old Presonus audio gear. In either case the TI chipset on these appears to still be supported. Unsure of Win11, but I've seen legacy drivers.

I was a bit skeptical but VLC media player can see my old DV tapes. I hit record and the files are now magically on my PC. I have to convert the format to edit the videos, but that is not this device’s fault. Surprisingly I don’t see any difference between recording digitally with this device or recording analog s-video through a Blackmagic analog-sdi converter and capturing with a Blackmagic web presenter….except this card is $20 and the Blackmagic solution is $2000.

Without this, i was unable to digitize my old format video, i would recommend this to the people who are still looking for a firewire card to convert their memorable video.

Installed this in my Windows 10 pc and worked right away no driver required. Works perfect to import MiniDV tapes from my Panasonic PV-GS300 camcorder. Works flawlessly with Windows Photos to import.

Compatible with Windows 11. Works as expected. Only drawback is the internal connector which is just like an external iee 1394 connector and therefore not compatible with front panel iee 1394 connectors. But this is old technology isn’it?

Card was nicely packed, looked well made. Installed and was recognized by the computer and Windows without an issue. So why not 5 stars? The card worked for 2 hours and then quit working. I could not get it to work, removed, reinstalled, power on reset, nothing. Showed in device manager, but would not see the Camcorder that it had just used well, for over an hour.Was getting ready to remove and return it, but decided to wait till morning. Next day the card worked and is continuing to work. Hopefully it lasts, but I am still a little nervous that it will quit again. So in a month, after moving a bunch of videos onto my computer, I'll update and either reduce or increase the star rating.The good was I did not have to load any drivers. It worked, initially, right out of the box. The bad is that it took a 12 hour vacation. Hopefully not again.

Easy to install, worked the first time and seemed to handle whatever I threw at it. I was expecting it to be more of a pain in the butt so that was a relief.Update 5 months later:I'm saddened to have to reduce this rating to 1 star. About 3 months after I first reviewed this product, I started noticing a decreasing in the speed that my data was transferring - I ran some tests and instead of getting around 200mb/s, I was getting around 30mb/s write speed and roughly double that read speed.If that had been the only issue, I probably would have only dropped it to a 3 star rating - this is a budget controller and most likely just didn't have the bandwidth for the sort of heavy use that I put it through.I went ahead and bit the bullet and bought an enterprise class controller at 20x the price of this one - I wasn't even upset, was just going to migrate this card to another computer that doesn't have the same workload and go about my day.It was when I started moving the data off of the existing drives so I could migrate it to a new array - it became incredibly slow during sustained read operations which should be the fastest operation - and every couple of hours one of the drives would go offline and I'd have to reboot the computer.This made the data migration a tedious exercise in figuring out what files were copied successfully and then starting a new migration from that file on - and just generally made me question the reliability of the card.To be fair to the card - if you are just looking to have a couple drives and not a heavy user, and if you do not want any features, it isn't a terrible card for $15 - you could do a lot worse, but I bet for $10-20 more you could also do a lot better.
