I too have FIREWIRE prob- after dvdao4 it won't go out
I recently installed a DVD-r 104, pioneer drive that I bought seperately. I have a G4 dual 500. I'm running 9.1 and using Final Cut 2.
ever since I installed the DVD I can't use my thinrd monitor with the firewire out through a sony media converter . . . also my TRV900 doesn't workeither . . . in fact it seems that all of the firewire out capabilities are caput. though I have limited ways of testing that. but I tried the cable through different ports.
I even switched the firewire enabler and support extensions FW 2.8.5 as opposed to 2.7) from my 9.2.2 hardrive.
Do I need to get my firewire card fixed or replaced?
is there a known problem with firewire and these DVD drives?
what can I do?

sorry.. i got confused... a third monitor?
a new development: I tried to set it for capture even though it said it didn't recognize the FW and it came back that the two extensions, --which I know that I have since I added them several times from the restore disk--, are not there?!??!!
I'm thinking about re-installing the whole OS, but I'm wondering if maybe its something I don't know about that I can fix easily: I have alot of stuff on this disk and I don't feel like spending alot of time reinstalling it if I accidently loose it.
any ideas?
What happens when you unplug the DVD drive?
but unfortunately I can't get to that till Fri . . . too much stuff and work for the next day and tonight.
I'll get to it though...........
I also tried to do it by replugging teh cable and merely taking teh jumper off . . and same (but also the DVD drive wouldn't read a cd either))
don't know what to do... but wait till I win the lottery and can afford FCP3 for OSX............
help anyone?
please help! advice?
again, it works in OSX but I can't afford FCP-3 (and can't get it to work as a pirate version.... don't want it that way anyway )
