I have found a workaround: |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
1. rmmod [all modules with 1394 in their names] |
| 17 |
2. modprobe dv1394 |
| 18 |
3. rmmod eth1394 (because it doesn't play well with dv) |
| 19 |
4. start your dv-capturing application |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
And just in case anyone wants to know: |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
1. I still couldn't get cinelerra to capture dv without freezing (but then the |
| 25 |
latest version wouldn't build for me). |
| 26 |
2. Ekiga's dv support works, but with some serious limitations. |
