Call me crazy
Hi,
yes, I know, I should get a decent windows-machine for this, but hey, I can
dream, can I? OK, here's my catch: I would like to capture some video from a
DV-cam into my computer. And yes, it's an alpha. At work, with an
intel-linux, it works more or less (the machine's not decent enough... snif).
At home, with the alpha, I had to convince the kernel that ieee1394 for an
alpha is a good idea (2.4.19-rc2). gscanbus detects the camera, I can 'play',
'stop' and all else (btw: who had the idea to compile libraw1394 for an alpha
even though it's not even supported in the kernel? Sometimes...) But as soon
as I try to dvgrab something, the file is not recognised afterwards. Neither
by 'kino', nor 'xine', nor 'xanim'. They all bark at the generated file.
Did somebody succeed in making DV-recording work on an alpha?
greets
ineiti
