dvgrab error: /dev/raw1394

[Alexandre Cavalcante Alencar]

Hi,

To solv your problem, just do it:

as root, create the device drivers for the IEEE1394 subsystem

mknod -m 0666 /dev/raw1394 c 171 0
mknod -m 0666 /dev/video1394 c 172 0

mknod -m 0666 /etc/udev/devices/dev/raw1394 c 171 0
mknod -m 0666 /etc/udev/devices/dev/video1394 c 172 0

load the apropriated device modules (ieee1394, ohci1394, raw1394,
dv1394, video1394)

Get Kino, Cinerella or another video editing software to test you
digital video editing system.

Here, I've a Canon MV750i working fine with Fedora Core 3 and
Kino/Cinerella/GAIM-VV,GNOMEMeeting...

Have a happy new year,

Regards
