Debian Hardware :: Firewire Camcorder As Webcam
Mar 13, 2015
I recently switched to Linux. I got a Camcorder connected to my machine via firewire that under Win i used as a webcam. So I want the same to work in debian, but honestly i don't know how to do it. The thing i tried was to use a loopback device via v4l2loopback, so what i did exactly is:
1. install v4l2loopback
2. modprobe v4l2loopback
3. feed it via ffmpeg Code: Select allffmpeg -f iec61883 -i auto -f v4l2 /dev/video0this so far works like a charm, i can open the stream via vlc for example if i choose open device and point it to /dev/video0
My problem now is the device detection. For example "Cheese" and the adobe flash plugin doesn't recognize any webcam.

I bought a firewire card after I install 11.1. Then I use yast to install libraries that can be related (I installed dvgrab, libraw1394, libavc1394, etc).
The card can be recognized at boot time.
Welcome to openSUSE 11.1 - Kernel 2.6.27.7-9-default (0).
I then connect my camcorder. Nothing seems to happen. I run dvgrab and it said it can't find any camera.
Is there any HOWTO somewhere to tell me what else I need to configure ?

A relative of mine who uses Debian 6.0.2 has bought a Samsung HMX-H300 Camcorder which records videos in:
1. H.264 (MPEG4 part10/AVC) format
2. High Definition Video (HD-VIDEO)
3. Standard Definition Video.
I notice that the PC requirement for the camcorder's bundled software, apart from the usual Windows XP SP2/Vista/Windows 7, lists an Intel Core Duo 1.66 minimum CPU and an NVIDIA GeForce 8500 or higher or ATI HD 2600 series or higher.
My relative has an old Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 2.30GHz computer which only has an AGP GeForce FX 5200 but after copying the videos from the Memory Card to /home it is just about possible to play them using Totem Movie Player and VLC but, although the audio is OK the video is painfully slow or almost stationary.
Is there a way to view the videos recorded in these formats with this hardware? Can they be converted to another format? Or should he consider buying a better computer?

has anyone successfully mounted and external HFS firewire HDD from command line? I installed all the HFS tools but I haven't been able to mount it. It is not even recognized by fdisk. GNOME seems to mount it without an issue but in my case it is a server and I don't want to have GNOME eating up my scarce resources.

I've got a Firewire Edirol FA-101 sound card, which is displayed as an attached card when i run cat /proc/asound/cards.
But I can't seem to select it anywhere or activate it or patch it in so I can use it as a sound card.
How do I get it to work as a sound card?

I installed Ubuntu Studio because Im interested in film making. (Social commentary / Social Psychology)
The thing is, I can't seem to get my camcorder which is a Sony trv 620 e to be even seen by the system. It doesnt appear on lspci, when its switched on, Ive started both Kino and Kdenlive as root and not as root, nothing.
Ive trawled the forums and am still in the same boat. In Synaptic, Ive ticked everything to do with IEEE 1394 too!
I cant afford a new camcorder and this one, whilst old takes beautifully clear moving images on digital8tapes.)

My Sony DV cam is about 6 years old so not really new technology but F12 will not detect the cam over firewire. When I turn on the cam I do not see anything in F12 (although I do not know where I would see the camera). When I run KDEnlive and hit connect on firewire it does not detect the camera.
I am dual booting with Win7 and the camera is detected there so I know my card, cable and connection are good.
lspci shows the firewire port as follows:

I've had this camcorder for a while, and my knowledge on them were little back years ago when we got it. Any ways the video is recorded on a tape that comes with it. If I had known then, I would have made sure it was recorded onto the SD card. Anyways there is this old video that I wanted to extract and I have Kino installed and have my camcorder connected to the computer with a firewire cable. Kino/Ubuntu does not seem to recognize an input. Though the camcorder does. Anyone know if there is something I'm supposed to do?

I just got a Canon Vixia HF 200 Camcorder. It stores data on an SD card. I was able without difficulty to copy the files to my Fedora 13 (64 bit) system. There are a bunch of .mts files in a Stream Folder, which I assume contain the videos I made. Some searching with google suggested mplayer might be able to play these videos. When I try that, I get an Mplayer 'boombox' icon playing the audio, but no video.
How to Get info about state of things at present with high definition video.and Linux? If necessary I can use the Windows software that came with the camera, but I would like to do as much as I can with Fedora. To start, I would like to play the videos and also to write them to a DVD which I can play on my DVD player, BlurRay if possible.

I have a Pinnacle IEEE 1394 card which according to Yast/Hardware Information seems to be installed and recognised correctly.
Trying to use Kino to download from a Camcorder via IEEE 1394 nothing happens and looking at Kino Preferences IEEE 1394 tab it tells me:
"The IEEE Subsystem is not responding. The raw 1394 module must be loaded, and you must have read and write access to /dev/raw1394."
I do not have an entry /dev/raw1394 on my system. Files libraw1394 and libraw1394-8 were installed by default(SUSE 11.3 64bit), and I have since installed any others offered which were libraw1394-8-32bit, libraw1394-devel, libraw1394-devel-32bit but to no avail.

I have a problem making work a webcam. At the begining, after the instalation of 10.04 in a new laptop, the webcam did not work but with a lsusb I see that the webcam was Webcam 5986:0241 acer. I was not able to config neither use the webcam with any application. After lots of test and forums reading I could not do my webcam to work, and now when I do a lsusb my webcam does not appear.

My computer has been running well for a couple of years with Ubuntu and the Gnome desktop. I use a very cheap webcam from PCWorld PC Line 1.3 Mega Pixels with Cheese and Skype which worked on Ubuntu. The new Ubuntu Unity desktop seems most unintuitive and reading that Ubuntu may not include Gnome for the next release is my reason to make the change to Debian. I am aware Ubuntu is a Debian derivative.
I have installed Debian Squeeze and everything is working properly apart from the webcam. When I open Cheese the webcam works but very slowly although it will not capture video. When I open Cheese > Preferences, I see the Device listed as USB 2.0 Camera (/dev/video0) but greyed out. When I open Skype > Options > Video I see the same greyed out listing but no image appears in the test area.

I have a simple "Gigaware USB web cam. I just plugged it in, and it worked fine on Fedora 11. But I can't get it to work for love or money on Debian 5.03.
lsusb shows the device, but I can't get any programs I've tried to actually display anything with it.
Technical details are below. Assume I'm a complete n00b (I pretty much am, when it comes to Debian).
Q: Any idea what "driver" or Debian configuration I might be missing?
Q: Any suggestions on a different program I might try (besides Cheesecam or Camorama)?
Q: Any suggestions as to how I should troubleshoot? code...

I am trying to stream from a webcam to mp4 file with avconv/ffmpeg with the GRBG pixel format. I can find a lot of ffmpeg commands and other stuff on google about a webcam stream to file with ffmpeg, but none of them use GRBG pixel format and are working for me ...
I have never tried something like this before
Output of v4l2-ctl --list-formats-ext:
Code: Select allioctl: VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT
    Index    : 0
    Type    : Video Capture
    Pixel Format: 'GRBG'
    Name    : GRBG
        Size: Discrete 162x120
        Size: Discrete 324x240
How to get this working?

I can't make a webcam working on an ARM version of Debian (Raspbian for raspberryPI)
I'm trying to use a command line media player to show the webcam images (mplayer)
The command is: mplayer tv:///dev/video0 and I got this output:
Code: Select allPlaying tv:///dev/video0.
the filename option must be an integer: dev/video0
Struct tv, field filename parsing error: dev/video0
Tv file format detected.
Selected driver v4l2
[Code] ....
Note aside:
- I've tried 3 different cams(got the same error for all of them)
- The output of the command: ls -ltr /dev/video* is crw-rw—-+ 1 root video 81, 0 Nov 11 09:06 /dev/video0
- The cam works in a program like "scratch" in a startx session but doesn't in the command line

I'm looking for a USB-connected webcam that works ok with linux and performs well with outdoor lighting.My goal is simple: I want to connect it to my Debian router, point it out of the window and grab frames off the cam and make it available on a web page.I've got the setup working ok with some prehistoric cam, but the image is terrible. (It's a HW issue - the cam. is junk.) So I'd like to get a better cam.I know there are cams built specifically for this usage, but it's above my price range. For me, the most expensive I'm willing to go is the Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000 for Business (~130 USD in a local store), or preferably cheaper. I don't want/need any sort of enclosure for outdoors, as the cam will be indoors, behind a window.
Also, I wonder how does focusing work with linux. The only webcam I've ever had had a manual focus ring. Some of the cams claim to have autofocus. I guess it's host controlled. That probably doesn't work in Linux. (?) Anyway, for my usage, autofocus would be in the way, I suppose. (I don't want it to try to focus on the sheet of glass in front of the cam. )
