 Posted: Sun Dec 28, 2014 6:01 pm Post subject: Capture video from miniDV cam |
 |
|
Hi,
I am trying to capture video from an old miniDV cam (Sony DCR-TRV16E) through firewire. I have tried kino with no luck (it seems it doesn't detect any camera), and also, trying dvgrab doesn't detect the camera:
| Code: |
~ $ sudo dvgrab
Error: no camera exists
|
During start up, the following messages about firewie appear in dmesg:
| Code: |
[ 0.498930] firewire_ohci 0000:05:01.0: added OHCI v1.0 device as card 0, 8 IR + 8 IT contexts, quirks 0x41
[ 1.000812] net firewire0: IP over IEEE 1394 on card 0000:05:01.0
[ 1.001843] firewire_core 0000:05:01.0: created device fw0: GUID 001106000000584c, S400
[ 4.669239] firewire_core: exports duplicate symbol fw_bus_type (owned by kernel)
[ 4.675601] firewire_core: exports duplicate symbol fw_bus_type (owned by kernel)
|
When I plug-in the camera and power on no message appears in dmesg.
When I power off the camera, the following message appears in dmesg:
| Code: |
[ 274.298269] firewire_core 0000:05:01.0: rediscovered device fw0
|
Here is my kernel configuration related to firewire:
| Code: |
#
# IEEE 1394 (FireWire) support
#
CONFIG_FIREWIRE=y
CONFIG_FIREWIRE_OHCI=y
CONFIG_FIREWIRE_SBP2=y
CONFIG_FIREWIRE_NET=y
CONFIG_FIREWIRE_NOSY=y
# CONFIG_I2O is not set
# CONFIG_MACINTOSH_DRIVERS is not set
CONFIG_NETDEVICES=y
CONFIG_MII=m
CONFIG_NET_CORE=y
# CONFIG_BONDING is not set
# CONFIG_DUMMY is not set
# CONFIG_EQUALIZER is not set
# CONFIG_NET_FC is not set
# CONFIG_IFB is not set
# CONFIG_NET_TEAM is not set
# CONFIG_MACVLAN is not set
# CONFIG_VXLAN is not set
CONFIG_NETCONSOLE=y
CONFIG_NETPOLL=y
CONFIG_NET_POLL_CONTROLLER=y
# CONFIG_TUN is not set
# CONFIG_VETH is not set
# CONFIG_NLMON is not set
# CONFIG_ARCNET is not set
|
Is there anything I am missing? |

I have been playing with my firewire camera these days. I have been able to use dvgrab, and when I plug the camera I get a new /dev/fw device. These are my kernel options:
| Code: | grep FIRE .config
CONFIG_FIREWIRE=m
CONFIG_FIREWIRE_OHCI=m
CONFIG_FIREWIRE_SBP2=m
# CONFIG_FIREWIRE_NET is not set
# CONFIG_FIREWIRE_NOSY is not set
# CONFIG_SND_FIREWIRE is not set |

Thanks mimosinnet. Still no luck....
I have configured the kernel exactly as yours:
| Code: | $ grep FIRE .config
CONFIG_FIREWIRE=m
CONFIG_FIREWIRE_OHCI=m
CONFIG_FIREWIRE_SBP2=m
# CONFIG_FIREWIRE_NET is not set
# CONFIG_FIREWIRE_NOSY is not set
# CONFIG_SND_FIREWIRE is not set |
Then reboot, this is what dmesg says about firewire just after reboot:
| Code: | 58779-[ 4.842625] firewire_ohci 0000:05:01.0: added OHCI v1.0 device as card 0, 8 IR + 8 IT contexts, quirks 0x41
58890:[ 5.343419] firewire_core 0000:05:01.0: created device fw0: GUID 001106000000584c, S400
|
Modules are loaded:
| Code: | $ lsmod
Module Size Used by
w83627ehf 31166 0
hwmon_vid 3076 1 w83627ehf
vboxnetadp 17510 0
vboxnetflt 15282 0
vboxdrv 318558 2 vboxnetadp,vboxnetflt
firewire_ohci 31163 0
firewire_core 49179 1 firewire_ohci
x86_pkg_temp_thermal 4535 0
|
Then I plug the camera and turn it on. Nothing new in dmesg and the same error with dvgrab
| Code: | $ sudo dvgrab -i
Error: no camera exists
|
Then I turn off the camera and the same message in dmesg:
| Code: | [ 6527.657442] firewire_core 0000:05:01.0: rediscovered device fw0
|
I have read several posts about problems with the new firewire kernel stack and DV-Cams, but they are old and I supposed those problems would be corrected, may be they persist?
Some easy way to compile and test an old kernel? (I think prior to 2.6) |

This is my kernel:
| Code: | | Linux mimomedia 3.16.5-gentoo #2 SMP Fri Dec 5 01:22:26 CET 2014 x86_64 AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 965 Processor AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux |
I believe this is not a question with the kernel. I will do your tests when I get to the camera.
Cheers!

I have been able to get to the camera and these are the results.
This is what I get after I switch the camera on:
| Code: | [12888.516690] firewire_core 0000:05:0e.0: IRM has link off, making local node (ffc0) root
[12888.516701] firewire_core 0000:05:0e.0: phy config: new root=ffc0, gap_count=5
[12888.767863] firewire_core 0000:05:0e.0: rediscovered device fw0
[12890.571475] firewire_core 0000:05:0e.0: phy config: new root=ffc1, gap_count=5
[12891.774568] firewire_core 0000:05:0e.0: created device fw1: GUID 08004601036cfb56, S100 |
These are my devices. /dev/fw1 is created after I switch the camera on:
| Code: | ls -lisah /dev/fw*
1393 0 crw------- 1 root root 251, 0 21 gen 13:01 /dev/fw0
257557 0 crw-rw---- 1 root video 251, 1 21 gen 16:35 /dev/fw1 |
This is the output of dvgrab:
| Code: | dvgrab
Found AV/C device with GUID 0x08004601036cfb56
libiec61883 error: Failed to get channels available.
Waiting for HDV...
Capture Started |
I can grab the sound and picture of the camera with this command:
| Code: | | dvgrab - | mplayer - |
The device /dev/fw1 disappears when I switch the camera off.
I do not 'sudo' to get to the camera as my user is in the video group.
Hope this is helpful.
Cheers!

Thanks mimosinnet,
I don't get any message when I switch the camera. Maybe there is a problem with the camera... unfortunately I don't know anyone else with this kind of camera so I cannot test it. I am about to give up and probably buy a video capture with analogic inputs to capture my DV videos. |
