Greetings; Your recent freshmeat announcement of 8.0 triggered my curiosity again, so I plugged in my camera, which did not seem to be properly discovered by the kernel, a 2.6.38.4-pae kernel built by my distro, pclos. From the msgs log:
Apr 27 13:44:46 coyote klogd: firewire_core: skipped bus generations, destroying all nodes Apr 27 13:44:46 coyote klogd: firewire_core: rediscovered device fw0 Apr 27 13:44:46 coyote klogd: firewire_core: phy config: card 0, new root=ffc1, gap_count=5 Apr 27 13:44:46 coyote klogd: firewire_core: skipped bus generations, destroying all nodes Apr 27 13:44:47 coyote klogd: firewire_core: rediscovered device fw0 Apr 27 13:44:47 coyote klogd: firewire_core: created device fw1: GUID 08004601044684e4, S100 Apr 27 13:44:49 coyote klogd: firewire_core: giving up on config rom for node id ffc0 Which is repeated every time the cable is plugged into the camera. It may switch to /dev/fw1 at times too. kdenlive (mine is version 7.8) supposedly gained camera controls back in 2006 according to the ChangeLog on your web pages, but despite have them turned on, the buttons don't work, and despite trying both of the non- screenshot choices available in the menu's, no video from the camera can be found. Shut kdenlive down and fire up kino-1.3.4, and it all Just Works(TM). Flawlessly... Then I go back and run kdenlive, and go see if it can load and edit any of the several weddings and other movies I have made with kino over the years, and in only one case can it even see the filenames, but it cannot open them, and ANAICT doesn't even make the attempt. The end result is that I have yet to see kdenlive actually play a video of any kind. The pclos installed version is 7.8, and the running kernel is 2.6.38.4-pae. 32 bit. Now, its been 3 or 4 years since I made the last dvd's of a wedding, so I need the recipe for importing the best, cleanest image from a 720x480 NTSC camera, and then from my edit final, make that into a dvd the parents and kids can both play. They've been waiting patiently since last November 2010, I assume because I downloaded a copy to their vhs machine before I came home. But I know I can make a dvd that is many times sharper and cleaner than that vhs can do even in the test laboratory. Was that ever committed to a kino "do this, in this order" recipe that makes us all look like we know what we are doing? URL please if it exists. Thanks for any help here. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
