Package: dvgrab Version: 3.1-2 Severity: wishlist When connecting my Panasonic NV-GS230 camera via USB to a Lenny machine, dvgrab -V is unable to find the video device created automatically by udev.
dvgrab uses /dev/video by default, while only /dev/video0 is created by udev when the camera is plugged in and the uvcvideo kernel module is loaded. Please change dvgrab to also look for /dev/video0 if /dev/video do not exist. It would make it easier for casual users to grab video from an USB DV camera. It would also be great if dvgrab was changed to try V4L2 grabbing if no firewire camera is found. This way, no extra option would be required to use USB cameras with dvgrab, and for example dvswitch would work out of the box with both firewire and USB cameras. As it is now, the dvsource program in dvswitch need to be changed to handle USB sources.
