Error: no camera exists

[David <da...@ke...>]

There are lots of posts on the net that look like my problem below, but 
no solutions that I have been able to find. Is DV capture over firewire 
unavailable now?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ubuntu 12.04

Canon XHA1 camcorder

When I plug in the firewire, the camera's screen reports:
"HDV/DV IN"

I created the link for /dev/raw1394 because of this page:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FireWire/DigitalVideo

I also did this (and then rebooted):
