Using Darfish - issues with firewire connectivity

B

Bespoke

Bit poster
I use Dartfish for video analysis of my customers (I focus on sports bio-mechanics).
I have used it with a PC with no issues (apart from the obvious!) and wanted to take the system to my MacBook Pro
It installs great but when I try to connect my camcorder via Firewire this is no recognition

Reading this forum, I believe firewire is not recognized in Parallels?
If so - is there a solution at all

Many thanks!
 
Hello,

Unfortunately, FireWire is not supported by Parallels now. It is in scope for future versions.

It is possible to connect firewire external drives [mass storage] by means of Parallels Shared folders.
 
Same Here.

I sold a brand new MacPro 2K+ for DartFish because he was sick and tired of dealing with XP/Vista's day to day usage bugs, freezes, viruses etc.
I screwed up and overlooked firewire. When they say Run Windows on your Mac, they should say
"Parallels Desktop.. Run Windows on Mac but just no firewire....NEVER!

I still remember when they advertised that you could run XP apps at full speed. Now with Desktop V4.0 you can run your apps 30% faster. Does that mean that I will get 130%.

They should but a big warning that we should make sure all features needed are supported in parallels.

Now they mention that they will support Intel Vt-d... So is that a yes or a no?
 
Dartfish -> A Possible Solution !

I need Dartfish users help.

I need to know if Dartfish can use streaming video as input?
If so what format does it have to be?

This is what I am investigating.
Capture with OS X and instantly stream it to Parallels via Quicktime Streaming server and make Dartfish use this live stream as input for analysis.

Any help is appreciated.
