I have just managed to force cinelerra-cvs-20051005 to start up. However I am
not managing to import any DV from my camcorder. When I open the capture
window I get the following message in the console:
Device1394Input::open /dev/dv1394: Is a directory
followed by
Device1394Input::run DV1394_IOC_WAIT_FRAMES: Bad file descriptor
endlessly repeated until I force cinelerra to terminate.
However I can send control instructions to the camcorder (start, stop etc.).
When I ls /dev/dv1394 I find that it is indeed an empty directory.
In kino, when I open the capture window in dv1394 mode, I get the message
"dv1394 INIT ioctl: Invalid argument" repeated endlessly in the console, and
the camera controls don't work.
I would use raw1394 if that worked in cinelerra, but cinelerra, although it
first started up in (non-working) raw1394 capture mode, stopped offering this
mode as an option in the preferences once I had switched to (non-working)
dv1394 mode. raw1394 capture works in kino for some reason.
Am I right to understand that the dv1394 problem is to do with my system,
while the raw1394 problem is specifc to cinelerra? How do I fix either of
them?
Thanks
Robert
