have to do a special compilation of PD to use it or special

compilation of GEM?

to use [pix_video] with DV in linux (at least in debian/kannotix)
you need the cvs version of Gem because the older Gem is looking for the device at
the wrong place (with the cvs version you can specify the device location).

Also using udev on FC5 I could not get a firewire camcorder to work
with Gem - even hacking the videoDV4l.cpp file to specify the correct
location of /dev/dv1394/0

If you get gem and a dv1394 camera working under fedora core please
let me know how you did it! THanks!
