Re: Cannon

[Bruce M. <br...@tr...>]

Hey Scott,

I really didn't do anything special to get my camera working.  I simply
made a ieee1394 kernel, made and installed libraw1394 (see my posts about
a rpm version of this) and got gscanbus.  Gscanbus saw it, I could send it
avc commands and it all worked quite spendidly.  I then experimented using
grabdv and that worked fine.  My firewire hardware is a cheapo VIA base
solution that cost me $45 at www.compgeeks.com.  Its a OHCI card and it
works fine.  My other card, Adaptec 5880, that I got with my Miro DV200
didn't work and I was disinclined to spend lots of time (and I did spend
time) trying to get it to work especially in the face of the bargain card.

I am still trying to get timecodes from the tape.  I would really like for
one of the resident experts to look over my code to see if there is any
glaring flaw.  I will email this list with a suitable email with code
snippets, etc, etc and see if anyone can help.

Please feel free to email me for any other specifics,
Bruce.

PS.  The test machine is a VIA MVP3 + K6/500 + 256Mb RAM running Mandrake
Linux 7.x - really nothing out of the ordinary (albeit non-pure intel).
