One tech at CDR company said your CDR burner works much better if you put in a new FW card and plug it in to that. Any truth to that? thanks.

I'm guessing that that may be the case because you're dedicating the entire bus to it and not sharing it with any other devices. But if you're already using your burner with your integrated Firewire port, I don't see how that is any worse off than buying a dedicated card. If it were with internal IDE busses I'd be more likely to agree.

Well, it's on a FW hub.

I can't see it making a difference unless you have a 48x burner or something.

and if your burning data off a fw device on the second port.

Yes, it's an exernal FW 52X cdr burner.
