I wish to playback DV files from Linux to my firewire connected Sony FX7
HDV camcorder set to VCR DV/AUTO i.LINK IN mode.
What is the easiest way and which steps to follow do this operation on
Linux? Possibly url to a guide specifying these steps.
Currently I've installed dvrecord and kino on my openSUSE 10.3, but I
haven't used any of them previously. I have also used Mplayer and VLC
that playback the DV files ok on my desktop.
The current reason why I wish to test DV playback from Linux to
camcorder VCR, is that I haven't got DV playback from a HDD recorder
over firewire to FX7 to work. And I'm not sure what the reason is, a bug
on HDD recorder in DV playback mode or the camcorder in DV VCR mode.
Everything else does work, sending HDV files to the camcorder, recording
DV and HDV from camcorder to HDD recorder and converting Analog S-video
to DV on the HDD recorder. The HDD recorder mounts also ok as an
external firewire disk on Linux, and file copy and paste works both ways.
Is there i.e some init flag that has to added on the sender side to the
beginning of the decoded DV stream, that is required to wake up or start
receiving on the camcorder in VCR mode? If I playback a DV file nothing
happends on the camcorder side. But if I send an uncoded HDV file
instead, the camcorder (in DV mode) immediately reports it is a wrong
video format. In HDV/AUTO mode it starts decoding and displaying the HDV
file correctly.
