Hi all,
Here I am 6 months later trying to upgrade my laptop and a new issue has cropped up with my video capture in Gem.
System: Ubuntu 6.10 (edgy) i386 using udev Graphics: ATI 9600 running fglrx Kernel: 2.6.18-rt7 Video capture: el-cheapo camcorder run through ADVC-100 firewire device
When running Kino, the camera gets captured just fine and everything "just works" as expected. However, in Gem (tried 0.90, CVS from November and another one from today's snapshot), I need to send following messages for Gem capture to work at all:
device /dev/dv1394/0 mode NTSC driver 1
This starts capture reporting DV capture quality at 5, but the captured stuff is black. The only proof that things are getting captured comes from disconnecting the feed in the middle of the capture by pulling the video cable that connects camcorder with the ADVC-100 and then one can notice change in the color and/or momentary flicker of the captured area.
