Fred, Here are some notes I have regarding getting dvgrab to work using my JVC HD10U from my blog:
Notes: mpg1394 works better for grabbing HDV. Make sure there is a symbolic link to /dev/raw1394: ln -s /dev/raw/raw1394 /dev/raw1394 Make sure the driver is chmod 666: chmod 666 /dev/raw/raw1394 To compile mpg1394grab, execute this: gcc -lraw1394 mpg1394grab.c -o mpg1394grab The JVC must be set to AUTO for Linux to recognize the cam. This is different than XP, which requires the camera setting to be SW. For dvgrab, the camera must be set to DV/DV For mpg1394grab and test-mpeg2, the camera must be set to MPEG2/HD scott On Sat, 2007-03-17 at 09:51 -0400, Fred Williams wrote: > On Sat, 2007-17-03 at 13:17 +0100, Valentina Messeri wrote: > > mmmmm, did dvgrab "say something" in the console? > > > > or dmesg ? > > > > if you wanna join #cinelerra on irc.freenode.net, although i'm > > actually using a very unstable net from my neighbourgh and i can't > > promise i can stay as long as i would.... > > I've never been able to get IRC working.
