Bryan: I'm curious what set of parameters you used with dvgrab ... I have a PCILynx card, 2.3.99-pre3 kernel, and a Canon XL-1, and I haven't been able to grab anything - I'm able to successfully control the camera through my SDPAVC library, but not so much as a "peep" of isochronous data. Also, another good solution for viewing AVIs under Windoze without a reboot is VMWare ... it's proprietary software ($99 for non-commercial use), but works like a charm - it allows you to run any flavor of DOS/Windows in an X window, using a virtual filesystem (no more partitioning!). Us XL-1 guys gotta stick together ... :) Tim Last night my friend and I went out and bought a $79 Digital Research firewire card at Best Buy. This card runs off the TI chipset which is OHCI compliant. I recompiled my kernel and got everything working, but I don`t know what to use to view/convert the outported avi file from dvgrab. I tried using gvplay, but it crashes complaining about audio not being supported yet. xanim doesn`t work either. Maybe someone knows of a converter program I can use to convert the uncompressed avi to a mpeg2 or regular mpeg? Here`s the specs of my setup: Digital Research IEEE-1394 4-port card (3ext, 1int) Canon XL1 Digital Camcorder AMD K6-3 450 128MB RAM 1GB free on this computer, but will be using a 36GB drive NFS mounted later for storage. Sound Blaster Live! Value with pretty new open source drivers. The IEEE-1394 will eventually go in a nicer computer with an 18GB SCSI-3 drive and probably dual-processors. I want to be able to use Broadcast 2000 to generate movies with eventually... If there`s any other information that might be needed such as the actual chipset model number on the IEEE-1394 card please ask. Right now I`m either thinking that the avi file was created correctly and I haven`t found any programs that can read it yet, or the XL1 isn`t fully supported yet and I can try and help you guys out with adding support.
