Re: [ubuntu-uk] digital camcorder
With a great deal of help from my son the problem appears to have been solved. What I did was to change the line in Kino - Edit - Preferences - IEEE 1394 labelled dv1394 Device to /dev/dv1394/0. Why this should work I have no idea but I have repeated the process of plugging the camera in several times and Capture controls the camera as it should. Ah well, if at first you do not suceed . . . . Merry festive season to all our readers.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] digital camcorder
snip if lsmod | grep raw1394 lists anything then the module is loaded and the permissions on /dev/raw are incorrect. sudo chmod 777 /dev/rawwill give you the necessary permissions, although you'll have to set this manually each time you restart your computer and wish to use your camcorder. If it still doesnt work then sorry but I'm out of further ideas. The module is loaded and setting permissions did not produce a result. I presume /dev/raw should be /dev/raw1394. Thank you very much for your patience and I will let you know if and when and how I get a result.

Thanks I can only share my own experiences here, but hopefully they will be of some use to you. I now run Edgy (6.10) on my laptop and since the upgrade from Dapper, I've had to do some tweaking of kernel boot options in order for my IEEE1394 adapter to work. In the output from dmesg, I saw an error along the lines of nobody cared, try using irqpoll (apologies, I don't have the exact message available now as I've cured, or at least worked around the problem), which is exactly what I did -- I supplied the irqpoll option to the kernel from the grub boot screen -- and the IEEE1394 now seems to work correctly. If you wanted to try an alternative to Kino, purely for getting the DV data from the camcorder onto your machine for later processing, you could try dvgrab. As for video editing, I'm afraid I'm not of much help, as I haven't got as far as that yet!

Re: [ubuntu-uk] digital camcorder
snip I am totally ignorant about this sort of thing therefore, have no idea what this means. However, I did dmesg and have extracted the following:- [17180162.704000] ieee1394: Node added: ID:BUS[0-01:1023] GUID[0800460104be71fb] [17180162.852000] ieee1394: raw1394: /dev/raw1394 device initialized [17180407.896000] ieee1394: Node suspended: ID:BUS[0-01:1023] GUID[0800460104be71fb] [17180620.248000] ieee1394: Node resumed: ID:BUS[0-01:1023] GUID[0800460104be71fb] [17180671.736000] ieee1394: Node suspended: ID:BUS[0-01:1023] GUID[0800460104be71fb] Is this any help in sorting things out.

Thanks Norman Are there any error messages appearing in Kino? You need the raw1394 kernel module loaded with the correct permissions to grab from dv IIRC. Add raw1394 to /etc/modules then, in /etc/udev/rules.d/40-permissions.rules change the GROUP part of the line starting with KERNEL==raw1394, to video Editing both those files has to be done as root (using sudo).
