Hello list folks I am trying to get my jvc grdvl167eg dv camera and tibook 400 talking through the firewire port. My kernel is a 2.4.20-ben8 . I have the ieee1394 modules all loaded
cmp 2676 0 (unused) raw1394 8672 0 video1394 14836 0 (unused) dv1394 20052 0 (unused) r128 101112 2 macserial 39172 0 (autoclean) ohci1394 19680 0 [video1394 dv1394] ieee1394 35528 0 [cmp raw1394 video1394 dv1394 ohci1394] I would like to be able to capture video from the camera using either dvgrab or (preferably) kino. I have compiled kino 0.64 which apparently supports capture over dv1394. (the older version uses raw1394). I'm not having much success. I can see the camera using gscanbus (i believe this uses the raw1394 module), but kino won't capture from either dv1394 or raw1394. with dv1394, it says dv1394 - no such device (it should be using /dev/dv1394). for raw (/dev/raw1394) , it just fails. ls -l /dev/ | grep 1394 crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 171, 34 Apr 29 18:09 dv1394 crw-rw---- 1 root disk 171, 0 Apr 29 17:14 raw1394 I am running these programs as root (naughty naughty). I also seem to get some kernel oopses when i run gscanbus. Maybe the modules are clashing or something. Has anyone else successfully captured from a firewire camera under debian powerpc? if so, how? cheers matthew
