DC30 Xact Driver for MacG4 (driver for the DC30 video card)

DC30 Xact Driver is a driver for the popular old videocapture card DC30/DC30plus, with real time support for Final Cut Pro.Compatible with the Power Mac G4 and G3 B&W only. FOR MAC OS XONLY.
DC30 Xact Driver is a software driver for miroMOTION DC30 and DC30plusvideo capture cards. It works in Mac OS X 10.2 (Jaguar), 10.3 (Panther)or 10.4 (Tiger) or 10.5 (Leopard) and with the Power Mac G4, enablingvideo inputand video output. It enables audio input and output as well, with MacOS X native support.
Please note: the DC30/DC30plus does not fit in the PCI/PCI-X/PCIExpress slots of the Power Mac G5 and not even in the Mac Pro. Moredetails below in thispage.

TheDC30/DC30plus is now a real-time card, with scaled and windowed HDsupport, using the powerful RT Extreme Booster, the unique featurethat, for the first time ever, extends the real-time power of Final CutPro HD to MJPEG and other formats, and works also in your PowerBook foroffline editing. And the DC30/DC30plus, now can deliver professional,uncompressed video; with the included LOSSLESS 4:2:2 codec, it can bestored efficiently, saving 50% of your disk space. This driver alsoenables high-quality FireWire capture of MJPEG and LOSSLESS movies,even in a PowerBook or where the DC30/DC30plus is not installed. Thesemovies can be used later with the DC30/DC30plus, together with DV,DVCPRO50, DVCPRO HD movies.
This software requires a Power Macintosh G4 with Mac OS X 10.2 (Jaguar)or 10.3 (Panther) or 10.4 (Tiger) or 10.5 (Leopard), and works withmiroMOTION DC30 andDC30plus, enabling PAL/NTSC/SECAM video input and PAL/NTSC videooutput. It enables audio input and output as well, with Core Audio (MacOS X native) support. Audio is locked, so it is always synchronizedwith video, even in very long movies.
This driver is very stable, and works well even with slower PowerMacintosh G4 computers, giving high-quality MJPEG-A and professionaluncompressed digital video editing with Apple Final Cut Pro 3, 4, 4.5,and Adobe Premiere 6.5. RT Extreme feature of Final Cut Pro HD issupported and improved.
With the Multicodec feature, this driver greatly extends DC30 seriescapabilities in faster G4 computers, with video output support foralmost every movie compression supported by QuickTime, within QuickTimePlayer, Final Cut Pro, Premiere, Free DV, ProTools, Logic, iMovie...and Finder columns!
You can capture video with Apple Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere, andvideo capture applications like myVCR (www.dplusplus.com) which is indevelopment, and BTV (www.bensoftware.com) which is shareware.
This driver supports video output from the free VLC Media Player(www.videolan.org/vlc), allowing DVD media content to appear on yourPAL/NTSC monitor! This feature works in every G4 computer equipped witha DVD-ROM unit, and with a DC30/DC30plus connected to a 4:3 or 16:9 TVmonitor, but the full DVD frame rate and quality can be reached onlywith two fast G4 processors.
The driver also supports video output from iTunes Visualizer: you canwatch your music on your TV. Some video output support for DVD StudioPro has been added, too.
This driver is compatible with most of existing DC30 and DC30pluscapture cards. However, a few DC30/DC30plus cards may not work withthis driver, especially when installed in particular computerconfigurations (see below for more info). If you have one, pleasecontact me.
This driver comes for free, and there is no guarantee of support.However, if you report your issues (as well as your positive ornegative comments), this will be appreciated and it is likely thatfuture updates will solve them.

This driver was originally written to support a miroVIDEO (PC) versionof DC30plus card in Mac OS X; then it was extended to miroMOTION (Mac)versions of DC30/DC30plus. So this driver is now compatible with themiroMOTION DC30plus, the miroMOTION DC30, the miroVIDEO DC30plus andmost of the miroVIDEO DC30 cards. However, the first revision ofmiroVIDEO DC30 card for PC, is not fully supported: the current releaseadds video capture but not video output. The DC20 and DC10 do not workwith this driver, and future releases will not add support for thesecards.
There is a slight hardware compatibility issue with the DC30/DC30plusand some early G4 computers, e.g. the G4 PCI Graphics and the G4 AGPSawtooth. The cause of this issue is most likely in the chip 'Intel21154'; random system freezes may happen when the DC30/DC30plus is onand the computer is sending data to a fast USB device or a PCI graphiccard. A workaround for the miroVIDEO card has been included in thecurrent release; a workaround for the miroMOTION card is yet to befound (but you can now temporarily switch the card off). The Intel chipis not present in newer Macs with 4 PCI slots + 1 AGP so this issuedoes not affect these G4 computers.
The DC30/DC30plus does not fit in any of the new PCI and PCI-X and PCIExpress connectors of the Power Macintosh G5 1.6, 1.8, Dual 1.8, Dual2.0, Dual 2.3, Dual 2.5, Dual 2.7, Quad 2.5 GHz, and any MacPro. And since the currentPowerMac G5 and Mac Pro series does not even support PCI or PCI-Xcards, any driverdevelopment effort for the Power Mac G5 and the Mac Pro has beenabandoned. Therefore,DC30 XACT DRIVER DOES NOT WORK WITH THE POWERMAC G5 OR THE MAC PRO.
