Sciss

i still have a problem with the canopus advc-55 and jit.grab ; upon a cold start (computer and advc had been turned off), while the input device shows up and can be opened, only an absolutely black image comes out. this also happens in quicktime player (file -> new video recording). if i unplug and re-plug the firewire cable, then re-opening the capturing device, the image is there! obviously i can't tell the gallery staff to unplug and replug the firewire cable everyday.... is this a known problem of the blue+white G3? is there any workaround???

the problem doesn't seem to occur on a powermac g4/800 (quicksilver). still it would be great to have a solution for the g3 as the g4 is already at the cpu limit and i like to keep the video tracking (separate from the audio which is on the g4) on the g3.
