Hi,

you probably want to visit

http://www.schirmacher.de

- a site that has pointers to IEEE1394 (Firewire) Video capture/editing tools for linux.

I wouldn't know why 1394-based video does not have the same status in the V4L domain as USB-based video feeds. Both are serial buses ment for connecting high-bandwidth consumer gadgets to your PC, and most USB webcams provide video in some JPEG-compressed format anyway.

Anyone?

or at least the answer to the question: "what typically needs to be done to control and capture from a firewire based camera under linux?" I feel a bit like a tourist dropped off at the bus station in a foreign country: I know where I want to go, but I don't know what direction to take to get started.

Some specific background:

   camera: Sony TRV-30
firewire card: either a port on a soundblaster Audigy [currently installed] or a three-port "pyro" card [no room to install, I think, but if push comes to shove, something can be dropped (like the haupphauge card)]
   software: SuSE 8.2 distribution [and a DSL line to get "whatever"...]

This system works under win98SE using Adobe premiere 6.01, so I know the hardware is capable - -- Yet another Blog: http://osnut.homelinux.net
