I am having trouble capturing from a camcorder via firewire. I can control the camera transport from each of the capturing applications (kino, cinelerra and mainactor), but I get no video or audio. Nor do I get video when I try to use the camera as a webcam in Ekiga (formerly known as GnomeMeeting).
I have made sure that I have read/write permissions for all the devices in /dev with 1394 in their names. I have tried every variation of dv1394, raw1394 etc. that I can think of in these applications' preferences. I also made sure to modprobe dv1394, ieee1394, video1394, raw1394 and video1394 (whatever that is). cinelerra has other, unresolved bugs to do with dv capture, so I didn't expect that to work perfectly, but the other two I +have+ got to work in the past. Apart from that, all that has changed since mainactor and kino worked has been whatever has got updated through portage, and a 2.6.15 gentoo kernel with reiser4 and suspend2 patches. Where am I going wrong? Many thanks in advance Robert -- Robert Persson Conspiracy Bears: Once upon a time there were lots of conspiracy bears... -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
