I never thought that would not be clear enough... but... Ok, second try. If I "touch" the cam with software commands, not necessarily after the first "open" command but eventually even then. In general if I click forward, play, stop or something like that... it (gscanbus or kino, depends on what I am using) freezes.
But the problem vanished after I sold the computer ;) I think it was an hardware issue or discompatibility between mainboard and firewire-card. Before I sold the machine I installed Windows on it and tested the foo with it... and guess... even there strange errors without error-message. Sometimes the commands (like play, forward, stop...) worked, sometimes they didn't but most of the time it gave bogus effects after all. It was not possible to get the movie off the cam. New computer, no firewire problems, but again a problem without real error-messages. But this won't become a bugreport, this will get to debian-users-ml... I think ;) The only thing what I am sorry about is.. no chance to debug the firewire problem. But what is your guess what gave the problems? regards Michael Am Sonntag, den 11.06.2006, 20:25 +0200 schrieb Steinar H.
