If you aren't getting the performance you hoped for when you capture high definition video using a third-party video capture card and Power Mac G5, here are some things to try.
- Review the set-up instructions that came with your card to ensure that you have installed it in the correct PCI slot (some cards only work in certain slots).
- Consult with the video capture card manufacturer and make sure that the card will work with your configuration. You should also check the manufacturer's website to see if there's a list of computer configurations that have been qualified to work with their cards.
- If you're using Final Cut Pro, visit the Final Cut Pro specifications website to view a list of devices that have been qualified to work with Final Cut Pro.
- If you're using a non-Apple application, consult with its manufacturer to verify whether your Power Mac G5's configuration is compatible with their product.
