I just installed PD on my old windows laptop and I can't get the firewire camcorder to work with Gem on that machine either (though I may not have that machine set up correctly).
Here is what the console says:
load_object: Symbol "qtmlClient_setup" not found qtmlClient: can't load library load_object: Symbol "jpeg62_setup" not found jpeg62: can't load library load_object: Symbol "zlib1_setup" not found zlib1: can't load library load_object: Symbol "libtiff3_setup" not found libtiff3: can't load library GEM: Graphics Environment for Multimedia GEM: ver: 0.90 GEM: compiled: Oct 5 2005 GEM: maintained by IOhannes m zmoelnig GEM: Authors : Mark Danks (original version on irix/windows) GEM: Chris Clepper (macOS-X) GEM: Daniel Heckenberg (windows) GEM: James Tittle (macOS-X) GEM: IOhannes m zmoelnig (linux/windows)
I can't seem to find the correct order to load the libraries in to get no error messages, but gem loads... Here is my order: qtmlClient jpeg62 zlib1 libtiff3 Gem
When I try to start rendering (send a [1 < to [gemwin]) and there is a pix_video in a gem object chain PD crashes - so I can't seem to get gem to read my digital camera from linux or windows!
Most unfortunate.
Thanks yet again for the help, -thewade
