Canopus ADVC 100 in OS X	Can't Post

Hello,
I have been using my ADVC 100 in OS 9.2.2 with Premiere 6.5. I'm trying to advance to FCE in OSX but my ADVC100 doesn't seem to want to come along. I like to send video thru it to my ntsc tv monitor but now my ADVC 100 won't send it. What do I do?
Thanks,
ChuckD

Is View>Video>Firewire selected at the output in FCE? Are you using the Print to Video command?

This isn't an issue with the ADVC-100 but with your FCE settings for Firewire export.

It is helpful to describe which version of OS X and FCE when posting a troubleshooting question.

ThomasG,
Thanks for the response. My Mac OS is 10.3 and my FCE is 1.0.1. When I go to view>video>firewire the choices are grayed out. I'm not allowed to choose.
Thanks again,
ChuckD

I found this on Apples FCE discussions forum. If it is grayed out then quit FCE connect and power on your Canopus ADVC and restart FCE.

Thanks ThomasG,
Unplugging and replugging didn't do anything. I discovered that AP6.5 didn't output through my ADVC100 either. I then upgraded my OS to 10.4.3.. This was something I was going to have to do anyway. The ADVC still didn't output. I may abandon the unit.
I then upgraded FCE to FCE HD. I got a notice during install that I needed an " Accelerated Graphics Port" that was compatible with Quartz Extreme. My G3 B/W has been upgraded with a Zif G4 500mh, is there a graphics card that I can install that would make my computer compatible with Quartz Extreme?
Thanks,
ChuckD

"Quartz Extreme functionality is supported by the following video GPUs: NVIDIA GeForce2 MX and later, or any AGP-based ATI RADEON GPU. A minimum of 16MB VRAM is required."

So sayeth the Apple site...

Before you abandon the ADVC100 try exporting the video using Simple Video Out X. Click this link: http://digitalmedia.oreilly.com/...12/22/video_out.html

Also, I'm fairly certain there isn't a graphics card upgrade available for your Mac that will meet the FCE HD requirements. Yours is a PCI Mac and you'd need an AGP Mac at the least.

Thomas,
It looks like my hotrod G3 has come to the end of the road.
Best regards,
