Re: Sony Digital Camcorder connected via USB possible?
Once upon a time Jamin W. Collins was quoted as saying: > In general, yes. With that particular model, no. All I needed to do > was treat the camera like any other USB storage device, and make sure it > was on. Whilst in general that is true, I had a problem a while back tring to get my digital camera (epsilon) connected to my box, it uses usb for the connection, it plugs in fine and I get console msgs regarding a scsi driver has been loaded, but I'm unable to access it at all under /dev/sda1. After several emails to one of the usb maintainers and also on kernel.org, it seems that whilst the device is saying that it is reported as a mass staorage device, its actually emulating it (by using windows drivers), hence unable to connect to any partition at all on the device. This apparently is the case for a lot of cheapish usb devices, In the end I bought a Zion smart card reader and used that, plug in and mount as vfat: mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /usb-media So be prepared for that scenario, whilst it may display as a mass staorage device, you may not be able to connect to it. But there are always workarounds, as in my case the Zion Smart card reader (£15).

I tried that approach and didn't work at all (Sony model DCR TRV33). So now I am upgrading my system so that I can use firewire, hoping that will work. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Sony Digital Camcorder connected via USB possible?
Hey, I'm trying to connect my new Sony DCR-TRV 250 Digital 8 Camcorder to my Debian Sid workstation via USB. I can't find anything on Google or the Debian mailing lists about connecting camcorders via USB. Has anyone done this before? Thanks, Ryan pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
