Is by any change anyone working on getting applications like
dvgrab and kino working on Solaris? I've been trying to read
DV data from a av1394 device on Sparc (blade 100) and x86/amd64
(Acer f4k) with limited succes.
av1394 is very broken on x86, the bugs are being worked on (

It should work on sparc. Something like 'dd if=/dev/av/0/isoch
of=data.dv bs=32k' should capture the stream in the raw DV format. You
should have a machine with enough RAM, the driver uses large buffers to
keep up with a real-time 25Mbps data stream. It depends on your
configuration, but I would say 512MB is the absolute minimum.
I've heard someone got dvgrab working. Once the x86 bugs are fixed, I
think it would make a great OpenSolaris project to port some of the
opensource stuff like dvgrab and Kino.
