Kira-kira worthed gak ya kl beli ADS Pyro 1394 DV? Apa mendingan beli firewire card yang biasa-biasa aja seharga 200 ribu-an yang mereknya gak jelas? Apa karena ADS Pyro udah bermerk aja makanya mahal padahal kualitas kurang lebih sama? Apa ada yg udah pake?

emangnya kenapa mesti beli ADS Pyro 1394 DV kl emang ada yg lebih bagus..kaya Canopus ADVC-100..hehe becanda..ini malah gw saranin utk beli yg lbh mahal..

anyway, ADS Pyro 1394 DV bagus kok utk overallnya, dan cukup ekonomis diantara capture card dikelasnya.
Saya rasa kl anda mau membeli capture card lain yg lebih murah, saya rasa gak apa2 jg kok..wong sama2 capture card yg mempunyai interface digital dan mampu mengirim signal digital diantara capture card dan kamera anda...sama2 digital dan loss-less video capturing kok kl pake IEEE 1394.
Kan yg bikin beda cuma fitur2 yg dihasilkan dr berbagai macam capture card yg ada, apalagi ditambah merk yg terkenal.
Kl anda memang serius..anda bs mulai mencoba membeli firewire dengan firewire pilihan anda itu...nanti2 kan msh bs upgrade lagi..

Performance:

This card captures video without dropped frames and controls the video camera directly from computer. Its rendering speeds are the same as any other software-compression-codec Firewire cards on the market--which means it is not a speed demon while rendering, but it will more than suffice for your average DV video producer. It's a card targeted at the non-professional user and its performance reflects this. The software, though, is definitely of the lower end variety. As there are few IEEE1394/Firewire devices besides DV camcorders available, I was not able to test this card's performance as a mass storage controller. When Firewire hard drives and removable storage units become available, an update to this review may be in order.

Value:

At $179 US, this card cannot be touched by any other Firewire interface cards. The fact that it also includes the Firewire cable (it would still be a good value without it) and a decent video editing package makes this product almost too good to be true. When I first noticed this card, my first reaction was to question if it actually worked. Well, it does; and it's a good value for your hard earned money. This card can also act as a controller for future high-speed storage devices, giving even more bang for the buck.

However:

The software included with this card is strictly for beginners. Even though Video Studio is better than other entry-level software package, it can't compare to the Media Studios and Premieres of the world. Also of note, is that this card only works with Video Studio at this time.

The Final Word:

This is a good device (and great value for your money), and seems to follow the performance specs of the IEEE1394 interface to a 'T'. As a video editing device, it allows lossless editing at a great price. The main concern with this card is that it only works with the Video Studio Software it comes bundled with. Video Studio is a decent editing package, but is light-years away from Media Studio and Premiere, in terms of sheer power and flexibility. ADS technologies has informed me that the next version of Media Studio Pro will support the Pyro DV card. Until then, I can say that the Pyro is a card suited only for home users--which is, of course, what it was designed to be.

Since the PYRO DV card can also act as a high speed controller for future Firewire devices, you are investing in the future with this card, as well as getting quick and easy DV non-linear video editing capabilities. If starting out as a video producer with a shiny new DV camcorder, then by all means get yourself a PYRO DV, and start creating high quality videos with minimum hassle. Remember, even Steven Spielberg started out small, and look where he is today.
