OK, I got my iPod and a friend put some tunes on while I hunted for a firewire card.



all seemed fine.



I got my firewire card and XPlay, but I keep getting CRC errors...



This morning I went back to shop and got a new iPod (only a week old) and the same thing is happening, but this one wont even load up when I disconnect the firewire. It just keeps rebooting..



The firewire card I got was a very cheap one, would this matter? its not like I am doing any DV work.



Help....



ps. I did manage to quite hapily transfer a 200 meg avi to the ipod, but I can hear the drive clicking as if it keeps resetting.



*** Edit ***

Never mind, just took it back for a refund. Me takes one off the count ipod thread... maybe i'll try again with the new ones in a month or so...

    my cousin here in the states got a cheap firewire card to begin with, and his didn't work well either. had all sorts of problems.



    he eventually got a better card, and things have worked fine since then.



    check the chipset of the card that you have. i believe it's certain lucent chipsets that have problems.
