Tested: - VLC 2.0.3, libraw1394 2.1.0, libdc1394 2.2.0, kernel 3.6-rc7, udev 171, Gentoo Linux - miniDV camcorder JVC GR-D725E - IIDC (DCAM) webcam Apple iSight - VIA VT6306 based CardBus FireWire controller - Texas Instruments XIO2213A/B based PCIe FireWire controller
"vlc dv://" and "vlc dc1394://" automatically pick up the camcorder or webcam respectively and display live video. Sound of the DV stream is played as well. I did not try network streaming. (Never tried it before and did not figure out how to set up stream output.) The VT6306 controller does not work very reliably: For example, if VLC is stopped and restarted with "kill -STOP $pid" and "kill -CONT $pid", the DV stream is frozen. This is a known issue between VT6306 and current kernels which is also seen with some other capture programs; the VT6306 does not properly restart its DMA after a period of inactivity of the capture process. The Texas Instruments controller does not exhibit such a problem, as expected. Somewhat older software revisions should work as well. libdc1394 and the VLC dc1394 are irrelevant for DV. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/6290 Title: DV capture over Firewire is broken (no rights for /dev/raw1394) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kino/+bug/6290/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
