Stefan, I did get a chance to try it out just now, and while I didn't try to capture a 2 hour movie, I did use kino to control the camera playback, rewind etc stuff for about 10 minutes and had no problems whatsoever. Kino I believe, can only step forward and backwards one frame at a time in its edit window as nothing happened when I tried those direct to the camera while it was paused. I even went back and played spastic monkey on the controls, but was unable to trigger a segfault exit or any other kind of an error. The only entry in the messages log for all this was: Dec 17 12:47:13 coyote kernel: WARNING: The dv1394 driver is unsupported and will be removed from Linux soon. Use raw1394 instead. Dec 17 12:47:13 coyote kernel: ieee1394: raw1394: /dev/raw1394 device initialized So whatever was done to the ieee1394 stuffs between 2.6.19 and 2.6.20-rc1 was a definite, and much appreciated improvement, many thanks to all concerned, I probably owe somebody a pint (or more). -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
