I use dvgrab to capture real time video data, will also work if you just play back a pre-recorded tape on the camera too, but I need to be root for this, so as Rob said, its probably a permissions issue on the /dev/raw1394 if you are running as another user. $ apt-cache search dvgrab dvgrab - grab digital video data via IEEE1394 and USB linkssearch Cheers, Tim -- The code that never executes at all is the fastest. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
