Well i have the pinnicale LINX, all it has is the Firewire card, and Studio Version 7, which is free. Personally, I think the card sucks, after I had captured my movie, added effects, and edited it, I would try to record back to my DV cam, and while it was recording, the screen would sometime turn blue for a few seconds, then start recording. It isn't the software, which also sucks by the way, because i tried it with primiere, and it did the same thing, so its either the card, or the cam, and my friends had the same problem, and he was able to fix it by restarting his comp. The card is about 80 bucks.
