Cooking A Raspberry Pi FireWire HAT With Backfeeding

Recently [Jeff Geerling] has been tinkering with FireWire in order to use some older gear, which includes the use of a Raspberry Pi HAT called the Firehat. This provides a 6-pin FireWire port court…

🌘 使用樹莓派 FireWire 擴充板讓 MiniDV 攝影機重獲新生
➤ 從磁帶走向數位：DIY 打造你的樹莓派 FireWire 錄影機
✤ https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2026/minidv-with-raspberry-pi-firewire-hat/
科技愛好者 Jeff Geerling 近期開發了一種便攜式「記憶錄影單元」（MRU），利用樹莓派 5 與特製的 FireWire HAT（擴充板），成功解決了舊款 MiniDV 攝影機無法直接數位存檔的問題。透過這套硬體方案，用戶不僅能擺脫昂貴且難以取得的二手錄影設備，還能透過 Linux 系統下的 dvgrab 工具實現高效率的影像擷取，甚至能透過 Wi-Fi 將影像直接同步至 NAS，為老舊影音設備的數位轉型提供了高品質的開源解決方案。
+ 這對於還在用舊型 Sony 或 Canon DV 攝影機的人來說簡直是福音！能直接錄到 SD 卡上真的太方便了。
+ 雖然 FireWire 技術早已過時，但看到開源社羣為了

Bring back MiniDV with this Raspberry Pi FireWire HAT

In my last post, I showed you to use FireWire on a Raspberry Pi with a PCI Express IEEE 1394 adapter. Now I'll show you how I'm using a new FireWire HAT and a PiSugar3 Plus battery to make a portable MRU, or 'Memory Recording Unit', to replace tape in older FireWire/i.Link/DV cameras. The alternative is an old used MRU like Sony's HVR-MRC1, which runs around $300 on eBay1.

Guess what? Updated to #MacOS #Tahoe this morning and now my RME Fireface 800 can go to the trash, because #Apple silently dropped #Firewire support 😒 . That really is planned obsolescence at its best, and I would have expected at least a warning before the upgrade, or a long term support option for latest XCode/iOS SDKs on legacy OS versions.

🔥🎩 "FireWire on Pi: The Epic Saga" 🎩🔥— A tale of clinging to obsolete tech like a toddler to a security blanket, when all modern solutions have moved on. Why wrestle with a Raspberry Pi to revive a relic when even Linux is on its way to ditching that old friend by 2029? 🤔🚀

Using FireWire on a Raspberry Pi

After learning Apple killed off FireWire (IEEE 1394) support in macOS 26 Tahoe, I started looking at alternatives for old FireWire equipment like hard drives, DV cameras, and A/V gear. I own an old Canon GL1 camera, with a 'DV' port. I could plug that into an old Mac (like the dual G4 MDD above) with FireWire—or even a modern Mac running macOS < 26, with some dongles—and transfer digital video footage between the camera and an application like Final Cut Pro.

#Help #Fedipower!!!

Is there actually anything that doesn't work on #Mint/#LMDE6-32 that already worked on #WinXP?

I want to rip #sVHS tapes using a #Canopus connected to the #Firewire/IEEE1394 port.

But neither #Shotcut nor #Kdenlive offers this feature. 😭

#anyideas???
