Vista x64 and Firewire for MiniDV video transfer Rob 11/14/2008 3:26:03 PM I just ordered an ADAPTEC 5 Port 1394 & USB IEEE FIREWIRE COMBO PCI CARD and it states to work under Windows 98SE/ME/NT/2000/XP/Vista and Mac OS. On the other hand, I read on some forums that Vista *dropped* Firewire and no cards will work... Can I expect the card to work or not, also considering that my Vista (Home Premium) version is a 64bit OS ? Thanks, Rob

Worked fine here with my card. -- Speaking for myself only. See http://zachd.com/pss/pss.html for some helpful WMP info.
