I'm currently using the FireWire drivers and CapDVHS on Windows 8 Consumer Preview 32-bit and it works great! It works better than on Windows 7! (there's no longer a need to use the 'Legacy FireWire driver'). When I plug into that, problems. When I plug into the firewire card that thing uses, it is recognized as Microsoft AV/C Tape Subunit Device (JVC #1) by CAPDVHS. So problem solved by checking cable basically. 720p is sharp!
Re: SoFplus 1.4t15 Client only [Widescreen]. Ofcourse he did, on my initiative. It's the response to all these people making topics about 'wrong resolutions' within the community edition 4.0. It works like this: the executive autoexec-command gl mode 0, will always be copying the current desktop resolution.

Having problems with your Firewire port not recognizing devices connected to it? Your not alone.
We found a problem when we tried to use the FireWire port on our computers that were running Windows 10 ( and also Windows 7 and Windows 8). We were trying to import video into Vegas and Adobe Premiere, and we quickly found out that we couldn’t import video into the computer via the FireWire port. We never had this problem way back when we were running Windows XP.
At first we thought this was a compatibility problem between Windows 10 (Windows 8 and Windows 7) and Vegas and Adobe Premiere, but we quickly ruled that out when another program we have also had problems using the Firewire port.
However, we have the fix for this problem and it is with the Firewire driver (a.k.a. the 1394 Driver) in Windows 10 (and Windows 7 and Windows 8) comes with.
Please read this article first, then go back and follow the instructions to correct the problem.

A Couple of Things Before We Get Started
The Firewire Port
Make sure you have either a Firewire port on the computer's motherboard or make sure you have a Firewire card installed in one of the expansion slots.
If you don't have Firewire port on the motherboard, they you will need to add a Firewire/1394 expansion card. These are not expensive and they should only run you about $20 to $25. If the Firewire card comes with drives, do NOT install them. You will need to install the Microsoft 1394 Firewire drive from this web page.
FireWire to USB Adapter Issues - Do NOT Use.

If the Firewire card comes with drives, do NOT install them. You will need to install the Microsoft 1394 Firewire drive from this web page.
FireWire to USB Adapter Issues - Do NOT Use.
These adapters do NOT work for video and audio transfers. FireWire transfers data as a steady stream, while a USB connection transfers data as packets and thus they are not compatible. While there are Firewire to USB hubs (not adapters as shown below), these are more expensive than a FireWire card for your computer and some users have complained that the hubs are problematic.
Users have reported that they have electrically damaged the Firewire port on their camera or electrically damaged the USB port on their computer when attempting to use a Firewire to USB adapter. Please, do NOT use a Firewire to USB adapter!
Firewire Ports that are built-in to the Motherboard.
If your motherboard has a Firewire port, you will need to go into the BIOS and look for a setting that says something about the Firewire Port or IEEE 1394 or 1394 port. You will need to make sure this is set to Enable or ON.
If your motherboard has a Firewire port, but you are not going to use it and you are going to use a 1394 Firewire expansion card, then you will still need to go into the BIOS and set it for Disable or OFF.

Note: I received an email from Mike Tilka and he was having a problem getting the FireWire port working on his Dell XPS 8100 and on an Gateway computer with the drivers from above. He said he needed to get the driver from this link for his computers:
http://www.driverscape.com/manufacturers/dell/laptops-desktops/studio-xps-8100/134
If you have a Dell or a Gateway computer and the above fix doesn't work for you, then you might want to try the above link.
This fixes the problem 99% of the time. FireWire cards are not the expensive, they run from $10 and up, depending on any extra features the card may have.

it will say Windows has successfully updated your driver software.
Click on the Close button and exit out of all of the other windows.
Then Reboot your computer.
You will now be able to import video via the FireWire port on your computer.
If you are still having a problem importing video after you have switched the FireWire driver to Legacy, then the problem may be with the FireWire port. This is a common problem. The FireWire port will work with an external driver, but it won't let you import video from your video camera. Most people report this problem with Dell computer, but it does happen with other brands, even brand new computers. This problem is usually with the FireWire port that is built into the motherboard.
The fix is simple:
1. Install a FireWire card into one of the open slots in the computer
2. Using the instructions above, set the drive to Legacy.
3. Reboot the computer.
4. Then connect the FireWire cable from the video camera, into the new FireWire port that you just added.
This fixes the problem 99% of the time. FireWire cards are not the expensive, they run from $20 and up, depending on any extra features the card may have.
NOTE: We have noticed that when Microsoft has issued certain updates, it can cause Windows 7 to switch back to use the original 1394 OHCI Compliant Host Controller driver.

Troubleshooting
If you do not see IEEE 1394 host controller listed in the Device Manager.
1. If you are using a Firewire Port that is built into the motherboard, then go into the system BIOS and look for a setting that says something about the Firewire Port or IEEE 1394 or 1394 port. You will need to make sure this is set to Enable or ON. Save the BIOS settings and reboot the computer. Now check to see if the IEEE 1394 host controller shows up in the Device Manager. If it does NOT, then you probably have something wrong with the Firewire Port on the motherboard. You will need to purchase a Firewire Expansion Card that plugs into one of the slots on the motherboard.
2. If you are using a 1394 Firewire expansion card, then you will still need to go into the BIOS and set it for Disable or OFF. Save the BIOS settings and reboot the computer. Next, check to see if the IEEE 1394 Host Controller is listed in the Device Manager. If it is NOT listed, then try moving the Firewire Expansion Card to another slot. Make sure you power off the computer before moving the Firewire card to another expansion slot. Now see if it shows up in the Device Manager. If it still does not show up, you make have a defective Firewire card. Try purchasing another card and see if it works.
You Can't Capture Video or Control the Video Camera
We have run into to this problem ourselves.
1. Make sure the software you are using still works with Firewire capture. I know that the latest version of Adobe Premiere Elements not longer support video capture through the Firewire Ports.
2. Some video editing or video capture software no longer supports device or camera control through the Firewire port. We have this problem with our video editing software. So here is what we do. Make sure the camera or playback deck it connected to the computer. Then press the record or video capture button in the software. Then manually press play on the camera. You should be able to capture the video now. If for some reason you can't, then you will need to check the software settings or see if the software you are using has a user forum, and ask for help there.
