firewire and VLC

[sjensen]

According to http://www.videolan.org/doc/streaming-h ... /ch11.html

Reading and the streaming from Firewire should be no issue.... heh.

When I do:

vlc -vvv dv/rawdv:///dev/raw1394


VLC starts up, but then stops and appears to be waiting for input. Checking the xterm I started VLC from, it is hanging/waiting forever at:

access_dv access debug: send play command over Digital Video control channel


Also, finding viewtopic.php?t=24918, it doesn't work either... seems VLC doesn't take the stdin that dvgrab is putting out? Dunno...

Thanks for any help.



Any tips?

Got it working. Moved firewire card to new/better computer (from Dell GX1 to GX270), changed component->firewire box to digital out (it was on analog),a nd it works for video. Sound is funky, thats another issue.
