these are the versions I have running, I think are the latest, and will work: libavc1394-0.5.1 libiec61883-1.0.0 libraw1394-1.2.0 > 5. rebuild MythTV (svn update, make distclean, configure, make, make > install) > > 6. rename and restore libraw1394 and libavc1394 in /usr/lib why did you do this step?

I would be curious though, if moving to a non VIA firewire chipset solves the 2week or any other issues you may have had? -- Steve _______________________________________________ mythtv-dev mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-dev
