Sweet. Firewire is nice to have for my camcorder and the odd storage device. However, the whole Firewire for camera side of it is rather useless without video editing software and video codecs that are up to date -_-

This is, however, a worthy project as Firewire is a common peripheral and should be supported by any modern OS, which eCS aims to become.

Doesn't firewire have a relationship to SCSI (IIIE ...)? If yes, should firewire be easy to port, etc. to eCS?

Well, The IIIE is the INDIAN INSTITUTION OF INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING so I donno Tongue

The IEEE Is just a standarization organization, much like the ISO.

Hi all,
I'd like to see some more comments before starting to add money. Are others interested in Firewire?
I have a DV camcorder, and I presently use Linux with Kino and QDvdAuthor to extract DV videos and convert them to DVD.
We already have QDvdAuthor. Kino would be a welcome addition, but without the means to transfer DV streams from the camcorder it is useless (for me).

I used to use my DV camcorder heavily to take video, but I find that my current Fujifilm 7.1MP digital still camera takes digital video that is just as good, if not better, than my miniDV camera. I would also like to see this feature because it belongs in any modern OS IMO.

For DV editing, I use WINXP with Windows Movie Maker. Its free (if you have a real copy of XP), and it works well enough. I miss my copy of Adobe Premiere, but, I uh, borrowed that one, and Im trying to move away from that kind of thing as much as possible now.

What does Kino do?

Look here:

Also look at the screenshots page to get an idea of the GUI.

Wow, seems quite impressive. I myself am not a fan of Storyboarding, I never understood how it works. I learned timeline with multiple tracks and thats really all I know. From what i gather from the features page, I think it has a timeline view as well as storyboard view. If it has both, then I say all ships ahead Wink

I'm eager for some firewire development.

With home movies captured on a video camera, we're into DV editing and OS/2 support for firewire and capture/edit (ala KINO) would be great.

Right now I have to jump on my wife's XP system to do both.

I'm also really anxious to get firewire dasd support. 

While I am able to use a FAT32 harddrive via USB  with OS/2, I'd look forward to better speed with firewire.

That harddrive is mainly backup for digital photos, however the speed is really bad.  I can attach the same drive to XP and it is exceedingly fast - don't know if it is buffering, or a code issue.

Regards,
Dave

The Fat32 driver has some issues under OS/2 with un-necessary Read/write checks or such which really slows down it's performance. Hopefully it is continues development to address these issues.

If you haven't already, turn off the cache for fat32 as it slows it down rather than speeding it up.

Thanks - I'd not known that, as it turns out, lazy write was turned off during install.
