It simply outputs uncompressed YUV video. dvgrab only works with DV cameras. You need to use libdc1394 (http://sourceforge.net/projects/libdc1394) to use your camera. There is a sample program by Chris Urmson that will save a frame in xpm format. Search for libdc1394 in the linux1394-devel list archives. Continued below...

The current released gscanbus has problems with properly identify devices even though it detects them and shows them on the topology map. You should consider this a working system, and continue on by using libdc1394! > > best regards > michael > > _______________________________________________ > mailing list Lin...@li... > http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/linux1394-user > |
