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
the same fault appeared when I tried to download off my old camera which
has worked ok for years. May be a clash between the new libgphoto2 & old
gphoto2. I will check this out next.
Box has 256 ram with 64 reserved for monitor. Now has 235000km swap
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.
