I used to grab video from my DCR TVR25 MiniDV camcorder without any problems in the past on Debian Testing using Kino or dvgrab. Since some kernel version and up, this has not been possible anymore.
I am now using Debian Testing, KDE and kernel 2.6.32-trunk-686. I see that firewire is now handled differently in the kernel and that /dev/fw? devices are formed instead of /dev/raw1394. Since Kino demands the latter, I have created a symbolic link /dev/raw1394 to /dev/fw0 (or fw1, as the case may be). I have these modules loaded: $> lsmod | grep fire firewire_sbp2 9575 0 firewire_net 9181 0 firewire_ohci 16477 0 firewire_core 30915 3 firewire_sbp2,firewire_net,firewire_ohci crc_itu_t 1035 1 firewire_core scsi_mod 101073 3 firewire_sbp2,sr_mod,libata When I connect the DV camera to the firewire port, I get these error messages in syslog (trimmed some irrelevant info for better formatting): 46:09 krnl [ 2422.285885] firewire_core: created device fw1: GUID 08004601024aca36, S100 46:09 krnl [ 2422.285897] firewire_core: phy config: card 0, new root=ffc1, gap_count=5 46:10 krnl [ 2423.440290] firewire_ohci: isochronous cycle inconsistent 46:10 krnl [ 2423.940722] firewire_core: phy config: card 0, new root=ffc1, gap_count=5 46:11 krnl [ 2425.088778] firewire_ohci: isochronous cycle inconsistent 46:12 krnl [ 2425.589206] firewire_core: phy config: card 0, new root=ffc1, gap_count=5 46:13 krnl [ 2426.737153] firewire_ohci: isochronous cycle inconsistent 46:14 krnl [ 2427.878295] firewire_ohci: isochronous cycle inconsistent 46:15 krnl [ 2429.019461] firewire_ohci: isochronous cycle inconsistent 46:17 krnl [ 2430.160755] firewire_ohci: isochronous cycle inconsistent 46:18 krnl [ 2431.301908] firewire_ohci: isochronous cycle inconsistent 46:19 krnl [ 2432.443191] firewire_ohci: isochronous cycle inconsistent Kino still doesn't work, I complains that raw1394 module is not available. But those isochronous error message still trouble me. Anybody now what is going on? How is one supposed to get around this problem? Thanks. -- Please reply to this list only.
