mpg1394 convert an firewire stream from a Sony HDV cam to /dev/stdout. It's possible to write the stream to any file. For examble:

mpg1394 | vlc -vvv - --scout file/ps:test_movie.mpg

how must be modificate the line to display the stream???

i test:
mpg1394 | vlc -vvv /dev/stdin

what is the libdvdpsi error??? I use vlc-0.8.1 with redhat el3 is this to old???

TS discontinuity means the MPEG-TS packets arrived out of order (glitch in your stream). Usually not really something to be worried about.

However in your debug i only see a PAT, not a PMT.
MPEG-TS requires both a PAT and a PMT, otherwise it's not a valid MPEG-TS stream. please inform the creators of mpeg1234 of this.

Thanks for help!!!

i test: "mpg1394grab > test.avi" and play the test.avi with vlc. it's going.

why???

Thanks
