Some cameras are usb mass storage, some are not. If the camera works
with gphoto2 then its likely not to also do USB mass storage.
This camera is PTP, no mass storage.
What is the maximum size Barry?
I have transferred 2 files of 39905kb & 85925kb (1 minute) ok now. The
larger 1 failed yesterday (computer overloaded???).
what is the failure message? ie when you run
gphoto2 -p bigfilename
I queried the camera filelist 1st---
[EMAIL PROTECTED] store]$ gphoto2 --list-files
There are no files in folder '/'.
There are no files in folder '/store_00010001'.
There are no files in folder '/store_00010001/DCIM'.
There is one file in folder '/store_00010001/DCIM/100CANON':
#1 MVI_0001.AVI 173140 KB video/x-msvideo
There are no files in folder '/store_00010001/MISC'.
There are no files in folder '/store_00020010'.
then tried to download with
[EMAIL PROTECTED] store]$ gphoto2 -p "1" --filename "test4.avi"
Downloading 'MVI_0001.AVI' from folder
'/store_00010001/DCIM/100CANON'...
gphoto2: symbol lookup error: gphoto2: undefined symbol: GP_SYSTEM_IS_FILE
the last line I think indicates a fault in the source code - b*****r
Prior to this last attempt I have increased swap to 235000KB and
compiled and installed the latest libgphoto2-2.1.99
Over 163000kb of swap was used during the transfer attempt.
It appears that the whole file is held in memory until reading finishes,
then it is written to disk.
what is the result?
Another over
100000kb failed. The error msg indicates incorrect syntax but this is
misleading as it worked for the 2 avi files and jpg files
The 2 relevent lines from dmesg are:
usb 2-3: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 3
usb 2-3: USB disconnect, address 3
I don't have a card reader, it would be worth trying for a large avi
file. No problems with jpegs.
I suggest you beg steal or borrow one in the interim, if you seriously
need those files. If you want to buy one try flashcards.co.nz (linux
friendly) DSE also have them and advertise linux compatibility on some
of them.
Also, what apps are available for editing movies?
cinelerra, kino, avidemux, main actor, lve
