Everything in lacquer namely Zackzack

I am a very willing to experiment type and place (out of sheer delight in tinkering) my PC several times a year on new.
As Windows 8 appeared I was among the first who had to test the new OS.
Shortly afterwards, the new version of Pinnacle Studio Ultimate, which I bought upgrade version appeared.
Then the disillusionment. My (not old!) P8P67 motherboard from Asus is no longer recognized on the Firewire interface at once my Canon MV 400 and was also by a variety of tricks from the Internet do not move to my DV import recordings.
Possible cause was, among other things, a defect in the DV terminal on the camera.
So I wanted to first buy a new cam, but then I installed the LogiLink PCI Firewire card and what can I say.
Program and OS recognize the Canon immediately and everything runs like clockwork.
A considerably cheaper solution than a new Kamera.Klare buy recommendation!
