g5 with an issue

Apple technology

DVIsochComponent.c:1191: failed assertion `!(deviceDescriptionPtr->clock == 0)’

we use firewire to video bridges from Canopus. Lots of them, the ADVC 100 and 110 are quiet nice. Seem to work very reliably.

One of our G5s however stopped cooperating after we install 10.4.
The other G5 we have is fine, and so are all G4 based installtions.
If I would not have found this then I would think it would be a hardware bug. Like this it sounds like a 10.4.1 problem.

Video above is in WMV format. The OS X Version seems to run much better after setting “Buffer” to 60 seconds under preferences.
It lets you enter any two digit number, but silently corrects you to 60. I would not mind if one could set this value much higher. I got the memory, and either Windows media is unable to stream reliably or all hosts that serve this content are unable to provide a continuous strean of data. Bottom line is it never really worked with the default settings. It certainly is not my internet connection or my computer. Quicktime streams and streams and streams.
