Using Kino with Canon MV700 ?

Hello.

I got recently a Canon MV700 camcorder. But, I read on linux1394.org that this model couldn't be used with libavc :

As I am using gnome, I wanted to use Kino, but the packaged version don't find my camcorder ?!

Any idea to help me ?

Thanks !

Re: Using Kino with Canon MV700 ?

When I launch Kino :

>> Left Editor
>> Starting Capture
>> AV/C Activée
>>> Using iec61883 capture
>>> iec61883Reader::StartThread on port 0

Re: Using Kino with Canon MV700 ?

sorry i mean in a terminal try the command dmesg

$ dmesg

you can also do

$ sudo tail -f /var/log/kernel.log

and unplug+plug in your camera. It will show you what the kernel really thinks about your camera.

Your camera is firewire right?
do you have these modules loaded

$lsmod |grep 1394
raw1394                23932  0 
dv1394                 16988  0 
ohci1394               28848  1 dv1394
ieee1394               80568  3 raw1394,dv1394,ohci139

sudo modprobe [module_name] if you don't see it.

if thats all good, check to see if you have /dev/raw1394

$ ls -l /dev/raw1394
crw-rw---- 1 root video 171, 0 2008-02-06 22:50 /dev/raw1394

if you've got that, check to see if you're in the video group.

$ groups

sudo gpasswd -a username video to add yourself to the group. You'll need to sing out and back in.

Try to unload all modules "firewire-*" and "*1394". Then reload raw1394 and ohci1394. This is what I had to do to make it work.

As I bought a new fw cable

Here is kernel output :

My account has access to video account.

$ groups
sys adm disk lp wheel network video audio optical storage scanner camera users stb-admin

I tried also :

sudo chmod a+rw /dev/raw1394

But no luck !

$ dvgrab
Error: no camera exists

/me is disappointed !
