We have a great firewire camera that works well with dvgrab and kino to capture images on our Dapper box...but we can't get it to work w/ pdp/pidip. We were thinking to use coriander but coriander says the camera doesn't have the right specs. Then we tried using Gem
to set [pix_video] to use DV in linux you need to send it the message [driver 1( for DV --[driver 0( is for v4l -- but it was looking in the wrong place for the device - at least a few months ago you needed to compile a more recent Gem than the usual distribution so that you could send a message to tell it to look for the correct /dev device, rather than its default - this may be fixed in your distribution.
in the end I used a Tetra Piccolo framegrabber with 4x v4l inputs instead so I didn't test out DV or recompile Gem. You may also have to set [mode 0( if rectangle texturing isn't working properly - as seems to happen on many platforms with recent Gem versions - if you just get the centre pixel of the image spread over the whole frame.
