Please try "dvgrab" (h)dv CLI capture tool, if your camera is detected.ĭvgrab -f raw -s 0 ~/Destkop/tape1-shot.dv #captures dv from tape from 1st camcorder in VCR mode, -s 0 means unlimited filesizeĭvgrab -noavc -f raw ~/Desktop/testcapturecamerastream.dv #captures dv fron camcorder in CAMERA mode, files usable by dvswitch/dvpause Final Cut X/Pro/Express This can also be because of BAD/broken FireWire cables! Since you reported you only saw "/dev/fw0" this means the camcorder isn't detected but the FW adapter is re-initialising while you turn-on/off reinsert your camcorder. What FW GUID number does your PCI/PCIE adapter and DV camcorder (if detected) have?ĭmesg | grep GUID #s400 are probably the pci(-e) chipsets itself, dv/hdv devices are probably s100īoth FireWire adapters pci(e) and (H)DV camcorders/vtr use their own "/dev/fwX" number. Lsmod | egrep "IEEE|Ieee|ieee|1394|Fire|FIRE|fire|OHCI|Ohci|ohci| RAW|Raw|raw"Ĭat /proc/interrupts | egrep "firewire|ohci" Lspci | egrep "IEEE|Ieee|ieee|1394|Fire|FIRE|fire|OHCI|Ohci|ohci" Which firewire pci/pci-e adapter chipset are you using? So first try these terminal steps and please post the output from the following commands. For now I can only guide you through terminal based step by step commands to let you capture your tapes. but it also needs some pulseaudio related fixes otherwise playbackspeed is 100x realtime and strange stutter performance. However I did got "kino" running with DV-out by correcting symlinks and access rights to /dev/raw1394. I haven't tested ubuntu 16.04.2 which may run with a newer kernel and firewire stack changes (which may be broken). On both ubuntu 16.04 amd64/i686 kernel 4.4.x I'm able to get all ancient DV FireWire camcorders working (sony/canon/jvc) and even pioneer CABLE-PVR, (H)DV-in and DV-out. Thought it would be plug and play currently, but hey, ancient camera. PS: The weird thing is that I did have a look at this when I was first into Ubuntu some nine years ago and got the camera working, no idea how. :)Īny thoughts, tips, ideas, suggestions, solutions much appreciated. Family stuff and has been on the bucket list for years. Goes without saying, but I wouldn't be going to all this bother if the stuff on the tapes wasn't priceless.

Only option was the restart button.Īfter years I finally have some time to digitise the meat from fourteen nearly 15 year-old DV tapes while they'll still play and I still have the functional technology to play them. Tonight, Kino locked up and locked up the whole machine. Controls occasionally disappeared, Kino crashed (locked up) once or twice. Then, the camera was recognised by Kino and everything was working. I only got this all up and running a couple of nights ago. It popped up again, no error and controls, then disappeared again, popped up, but this time, error remained in Kino and no controls. :-k Just as I was getting excited, error came up, controls greyed, fw1 gone from /dev folder. I checked Kino and the capture controls were available, no error. Up popped another entry in the /dev folder: fw1! What the. I was looking at the /dev folder in Thunar (staring blankly at 'fw0') while I had the camera on, Kino on with an error. No AV/C compliant cam connected or not switched on? Then I opened Kino as root as advised on the same link using:Ĭhanges the error, but that's it. which I presume creates the symlink of the real camera device called /raw1394. I got as far as trying this, from this page (): I got as far as working out this has been deprecated and it is now /dev/fw0(?). WARNING: raw1394 kernel module not loaded or failure to read/write /dev/raw1394! Open Kino and go to 'Capture' and get this message along the bottom of the screen:

In /dev there is /dev/fw0 so that's all good. firewire_core 0000:03:01.0: rediscovered device fw0Īll good. When I switch the camera off, dmesg gives me this when I switch it back on: Xubuntu-core 16.04.2 LTS, Kino 1.3.4, old Panasonic NV-DS60 DV camera connected via firewire.
