help to grab frames from a Pyro 1394 web cam

[D. Lopez-De-I. <dl...@en...>]

Hi all,

I have a 2.4.2 kernel and I have installed the modules required to provide
firewire support to my system, i.e:
[dl231@worthingtons dl231]$ /sbin/lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by
raw1394                 6496   0 
video1394              14772   0  (unused)
ohci1394               22604   1  [video1394]
ieee1394               21040   0  [raw1394 ohci1394]

I am using a Belkin Firewire PCI Card and a Pyro 1394 web cam. I have also
installed Chris Urmson's simple image grabbing example at:
http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~curmson/Useful_Stuff/useful_stuff.html

However, I haven't managed to obtain a correct frame using this program.
I guess I have to play with the parameters I pass to the function:
dc1394_dma_setup_capture. I wonder if any of you has had success grabbing
frames from a Pyro camera, both using this program or other code.

It looks like I have done the installation of all the software
required for ieee1393 dv capture correctly. If anybody has been able of
capturing frames from a Pyro web cam and wants to share it with me I would
be most grateful. Any help is most welcome.

Regards,
