Hi Dave;

No I'm talking about Mavericks having issues - and only Mavericks. Running Windows or 10.8.5 or 10.6.8 or 10.7.x it does not happen. And it's not FireWire related - it can happen with any app where it beach balls sporadically. The only common thing is it's Mavericks OS.

HTH..

Hi All.

I recently had an SSD HDD crash in my early 2011 MBP.  Luckily I had a backup.  This machine was running snow leopard as well as a bootcamp win7 x64 partition.

I replaced the SSD and restored from backup.  At the time I decided to upgrade to Mavericks.  I also reinstalled the win7 x64  bootcamp partition (fresh install not restore from backup)

I have a PTGrey Grasshopper Express 2.8 Firewire using the latest firmware.

I just noticed Milton’s response below about seeing a pause.  Is this pause in the Mavericks OS itself or are you talking about a pause in firewire video capture from AstroIIDC in Mavericks?

I ask because ever since my upgrade to Mavericks, my Windows side bootcamp installation with the latest version of flycap has this erratic pause when capturing video using the flycap firewire driver. The issue goes away if I use the standard Microsoft firewire driver.   I have been working with PTGrey for a few weeks on the issue and a solution has not been found.  (Downgrading firmware, installation of older versions of flycap, etc)

I have not had a chance yet to test AstroIIDC on the Mavericks side to see if this pause in video capture exists on the Mac side.
