Hallo,

I use dvgrab to fetch the footagefrom my hdcam. However a permissions issue arises:

Code:
dvgrab -f hdv -a --timestamp
raw1394 - failed to get handle: Permission denied.


I need to su to root and chmod a+rw /dev/raw1394.

How could I possibly enable raw1394 with a+rw permissions automatically?

Kind regards,
orange_juice

Add your user to the video group, that should fix it.

Weird, that means that /dev/raw1394 is not part of video capturing devices group as mentioned in the manual. Can you give me the output of:

ls -la /dev/raw1394

please?

Okay, that means you just have to fix it yourself then ;) .

echo "chown root:video /dev/raw1394" >> /etc/conf.d/local.start

Reboot and enjoy user acces :) .
