Hi Hi... Please help

Something happened to my system, and now when I try to open Modul8 with the DFG plugged in it crashes before it can even open and the OS displays this error log:

"...USB Device: Apple Internal Keyboard / Trackpad, 0x05ac (Apple Inc.), 0x0236, 0x04600000
USB Device: IR Receiver, 0x05ac (Apple Inc.), 0x8242, 0x04500000
FireWire Device: Converter Rev2, Video to 1394, Up to 400 Mb/sec"

Its obvious that it has to do with the DFG component.

Ive reinstalled the OS, Ive reinstalled M8, Ive reinstalled the DFG codec...

Does anyone have any other quick fix, tricks, Its very super dooper important to me. pleeeeze

Im on a macbook pro running OS 10.6

I have had this problem before, and on a fluke I deleted the file IOfirewireAVC.kext in the system-library-extensions folder while modul8 was running (sans dfg) and then opened it back up only to reinstated the file and it worked... unfortunately that trick no longer works... and is probably too dangerous anyway.

It turns out that :

the crash happens when Modul8 try to enumerate all the video capture devices using SGGetChannelDeviceList.

The wonderful support team at garagecube helped me out with a patched app, Thank you!

I think I'm having the same issue, I'm trying o connect 2 firewire inputs into modul8 and it crashes before I can open it unless I disconnect one of the inputs.

here's my setup:
Laptop 1 has VGA signal out converted by GreenValley TwinPact100 into FireWire 400
Laptop 2 has HDMI signal out converted by GreenValley ADVC HD50 into FireWire 800
Laptop 3 picks up 800 thru one port and 400 thru another port

SO FAR SO GOOD

Now the software:

Once this whole setup is put in place, I open up Modul8 and it crashes b4 it even opens

BUT WAIT!

I open up the DEMO of GrandVJ from Arkaos, and it can detect both devices and both feeds with no trouble at all, and I can mix between them. I want that in Modul8.

I need a fix for modul8 to get around this. Would your fix work? If not, where can I get a fix from garagecube specific to my problem like u did?
