Bug#509118: dvgrab: do not work with DV over USB capable camera

2008-12-18 Thread Petter Reinholdtsen

Package: dvgrab
Version: 3.1-2

I've tried to get dvgrab in Lenny to fetch DV video from a Panasonic
NV-GS230 camera, without luck so far.  The camera claim to be able to
stream DV over USB, but dvgrab is unable to fetch any frames.

I used the following command line:

  dvgrab -V --input /dev/video0 -f raw foo

The camera was in recording mode.  The program report that grabbing is
started, but when I terminate dvgrab a few seconds later it report
that no frames were found, and no foo file is created.  The camera is
set to use Motion DV in USB mode, whatever that means.

I did find a program capable of dumping information about the V4L2
device, URL:http://blogs.adobe.com/penguin.swf/v4l2-formats.c, and
it reports this:

  /dev/video0 is a V4L2 device named 'DVC'
  /dev/video0 is capable of video capture
  /dev/video0 is capable of streaming capture
  /dev/video0 supports 'SD-DV 50Hz' (compressed format, V4L2_PIX_FMT_DV)

I also tested with the version 3.2 in unstable, and this one work.
Please update the one in testing with the one in unstable, to get a
version working with USB included in Lenny.

Happy hacking,

Lenny is already freezed, so there is no normal way to get dvgrab-3.2 
into lenny anymore.

I don't want to stress the Release Managers with this request. If you
want, you have my support to ask they. 



Bye,

Erik Schanze
