have you tried coriander? I know it is the way to make firewire cameras work in linux using libdc, but had no luck interfacing with gem. it is something I've putting off for a while,
it seems like i don't have any device that properly works with coriander. however, from what i read, coriander can create a videoloopback device which can then be used by Gem as an ordinary "v4l" device.
i finally got hands on a camera that is supported by coriander ("Unibrain Fire-i BCL 1.2"), and it works fine with Gem using coriander & vloopback.
notes:
- ubuntu does not come with vloopback modules
- i was using a ubuntu/intrepid machine which has a 2.6.27 kernel
installed and the debian vloopback-source module is version 1.1 which does not work with >=2.6.27; i had to install vloopback-1.2 [1] which worked
- the loopback device is of fixed size and this size somehow does not
get propagated to Gem correctly; i had to manually set the size to the one i knew i was using (640x480)
