I know there's been some discussion of 1394 and DV cameras lately, so I thought I'd share my success.
I emerged kino 0.6.4 and it's various dependencies. I built all the 1394 kernel modules and added the following to my /etc/modules.autoload: ohci1394 raw1394 dv1394 Then I ran kino (as root because I haven't figure out the file permissions stuff yet) Under preferences on teh 1394 tab I set the following: DV Capture Driver: Raw1394 Device: /dev/video1394/0 DV Export Driver: dv1394 Device: /dev/video1394/0 In the main window, hit the capture tab, click AV/C. This connects the play/pause etc buttons to your camera. Hit play, then hit capture when you get to the part you want to capture. I found several other combinations of driver and device settings that locked up my system completely the instant I hit the play button, so try this with caution as other hardware my respond differently. I was also able to generate an mpeg2 via kino, but there is apparently a problem in the divx generator, see: http://kino.schirmacher.de/dcforum/dcforum?az=show_topic&forum=101&topic_id=1760&mesg_id=1760&page= -- Chris Bare [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
