Hallo!
But I am having no luck with pix_video or pdp_v4l. The main problem seems to be that (apparently) recently the naming conventions in debian and possibly linux in general were changed. So there is no more /dev/video0 for the v4l mode, and for pix_video trying to work directly with ieee1394, I get complaints that /dev/ieee1394/dv/ host/PAL/in "Is a directory".
Yes we had this discussion quite some time ago: I think you can open the device with sending the message [driver /dev/ieee1394/dv/host/PAL/in( (fill in your device) to [pix_video]. If not let me know, then the fix was not added ...
