Review: Great card - This is the new 1394A card and works perfectly. Easy to install
Review: Works great! - I've used this card to transfer over 25 hours of footage, using a Sony DCR-TRV250 camcorder as the source device and the free WinDV app on Windows to record avi files, which I then transcode to a compressed format using Handbrake. This card was compatible with multiple Windows 10 installations of mine on a plug-and-play basis (i.e., without needing to install any drivers), and has so far worked without any flaws. Disclaimer: This product comes with a cable, but I have not tested it since I already had a FireWire cable paired with my camcorder. I've also only used the 6-pin slot on the card and have not tested the 4-pin slot.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you need firewire...
*by C***. on January 31, 2026*

This worked flawlessly. I plugged it into the PCIe slot on my mini ITX format motherboard, booted up and voila! I use this primarily for a legacy scanner, Nikon Coolscan 8000. It only has firewire. I'm using Windows 10 and have had no issues operating the scanner.
