I bought a USB to firewire cable to use with a DV camera, but I don't know what to do now. Do I need to enable firewire drivers, or is there something else I should do? I know I should read the manual.
View 9 RepliesI have a Panasonic DVCPRO HD camera with a Firewire output. I'd like to take the video footage off of the camera and put it into my Ubuntu (Studio, 10.04) machine. Unfortunately, neither my Ubuntu machine nor the camera seem to recognize a connection with each other.
I've only used this camera like this with Mac OSX, in which I press a button a couple folders pop up with everything in them which I can then digitize in Final Cut Pro. I'd prefer being able to use my Ubuntu setup with Open Source Software to view and edit this footage.
how to get ubuntu and this camera to talk to each other and play nice?
I have sony handycam DCR-HC30E camera. I am interested in connecting it to my Gentoo computer via firewire cable. I`ve connected camera to computer with Firewire cable and turned camera on in VCR mode. What do I need to do for identification camera in linux?

Ubuntu doesn't allow you to use the ieee 1394 cable by default and everything I've tried to make it work, hasn't!!I don't want to go back to windows, pay a ton of money for some video editing software when there is an excellent video editing program already on my computer.]
View 4 Replies View RelatedI want to capture DV-video through IEE1394 (FireWire) with Kino and Ubuntu 10.10. Seems I can't capture... When I plug in the camera there is no hot plug message (if there should be one? I've read it should...). The DV-out on the camera is enabled There is no option to enable/disable the port in my BIOS.
Some information:
Code:
a~# lspci | grep 1394

Hope there are some command to check?
I search at FFado.org for this soundcard and it says that it's fully supported, but I can't get it to work.

I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 and VLC 1.1.4
The error message I'm given after trying to open through 'media>open capture device>play' is;

Your input can't be opened: VLC is unable to open the MRL 'v4l2:///dev/ffc1/'. Check the log for details.
(and I can't find the log)
I'm not even sure if I've got the device name right so I ran lspci from the command line which gave the following output (and I still can't work out what it is);

I'm using FFADO on JACK in order to use my firewire device (M-Audio Profire 610) and I seem to have the opposite issue as others who have similar problems. Everything starts up fine, and I can record audio into Ardour using my inputs, but I can't get any output from any of my 8 line outs.
I've checked the connections using QjackCtl, and I tried to route audio from another program (Audacious) but I can't seem to pull audio out of the device (or the computer won't send my device audio?).
I had originally planned on buying a USB 2.0 audio interface to use with my first home recording studio, but it sounds like Linux support is pretty horrible for these devices. On the other hand, the FFADO project seems to be very promising, so now I'm looking at getting a firewire interface. The only problem is that all I have on my laptop (sony vaio VGN-N365E) is a little 4-pin firewire port. If I'm not mistaken, those don't provide any power. Will this work with any interfaces (maybe one that has it's own external power adapter)? Or is there an adapter I can get to convert it to a full firewire port and add power?

I know nothing of Linux, but am willing to learn. While I learn though, it would be nice to listen to a little Hall & Oates. I've got to the stage where the error messages I'm receiving don't bring up any results on Google. Here's what things look like (watch out, big pic):
Those sample rate errors appear in the terminal when I start ffado-mixer. I'm running JACK with everything set as I think it's supposed to be, except that 'Realtime' is unchecked.If I start JACK running with 'Realtime' checked, it tries to launch and fails, saying "JACK is running in realtime mode, but you are not allowed to use realtime scheduling. After applying these changes, please re-login in order for them to take effect". I don't know what more it wants me to do - i've already added
@audio � rtprio 100
@audio - nice -10
@audio � memlock unlimited
to /etc/security/limits.conf, and selected the 2.6.31-11-rt kernel on GRUB bootup. I'm a member of 'audio' and 'disk' groups like'm supposed to be. Have I not got the connections right in JACK? Have I got some sample rate settings wrong somewhere?I'm not even bothered about low latency with the realtime kernel right now, I just want to hear some sound
I recently did an upgrade to ubunut 10.04. I have a nikon d70 that I plugged into the computer to download the pictures off of but to my surprise my computer no longer sees the camera. I did a search and found a few threads about USB cameras and skype but nothing about this issue. Is there anyone else having this problem?
Is there a fix for it? So far everything has been working OK with UBUNTU 10.04 I would hate to go back to windows xp only because I am not able to download the pictures from my camera.
Can I run this camera:

Bus 001 Device 007: ID 046d:0809 Logitech, Inc
as something other than a UVC driven camera?
It appears that UVC in 640x480 format is only available at 15 fps. I need to record at fps=30. So I can splice into existing video.
Code:
#!/bin/bash
##Turn on webcam and save video and audio output to file.
# check if there is no command line argument

View 2 Replies View RelatedI deleted files from my camera (SDHC via USB) which I now want to copy back but I don't know how.
The camera is mounted in ~/.gvfs and the target folder is owned by my user with read/execute permissions. Couldn't change the folders permission.
I tried to mount the camera using 'gksu nautilus', but the camera didn't show up in the side panel. Unfortunately I don't know how to mount the camera from the command line, so I'm stuck.
PS: the only available card reader doesn't recognize SDHC cards, so that's not an option. And no, I won't boot Windows for that task.
My local priest has asked me if I can use my computer skills to stream church services live for people who can't make it to church.I said, sure thing! I thought it would be simple, but the deeper I look into it, the more lost I have become!Here's the tech requirements:
- A camera with good optical zoom and focused on the altar (the camera will be stationed at an unobtrusive point at the back of the church on the choir balcony)
- Everything must be wireless (power is available on choir balcony to power the camera).
- Sound should be synchronised perfectly with the video (have access to the church PA system - located behind altar)
- the internet connection should be able to upload the stream to a virtual server (i.e. with root access) that's accessible to the web with ease. What upload speed would I need? Would 256k be enough? HD video is not required - ..... quality would be great. We can upgrade to HD at a later point in time!
- What bandwidth requirement would my server need if say 1000 users were connected? Seeing as they would most likely be locals, would just one stream be sent to the local exchange and that exchange would send out the stream to the 1,000 users, or would each user have to have a dedicated connection to the server?
- Say I bought a camcorder with HDMI output, what kind of processing power would I need to convert this to compressed video? (I've got an old Pentium 4 and an AMD64 2.0GHz lying idle in my bedroom and it would be great to make use of 'em instead of chucking 'em on the skip)
- I'd like all this to be done so that HTML5 browsers can access the video, resorting to flash if necessary
- I'd also like to be able to power down all the hardware with ease: i.e. set a timer. I'm sure ubuntu can do this with ease? What about configuring the camera to zoom in every time it is powered on? Can linux control the zoom on a camcorder?
- Am I totally nuts?
I've been having a fit with Ubuntu (even tried updating to the new version). I have a USB camera (1.3mp- 1024x768 ) that I need to observe and capture images with (microphotography). I've downloaded and installed multiple packages, but have not found any way to change the default resolutions for V4l2. The resolution closest to what I need is 1024x816, but the video is torn and unusable. One program, Kamoso, worked fine in 640x480 mode, but as soon as I upgraded to Ubuntu 10, it went to the higher resolution (1024x816) which doesn't work right.
Is there some way to force v4l2 into a 1024x768 mode? The camera is a Tucsen 1.3mp microscope camera. I've emailed the company for more information and to see if they would email me the software/drivers (I lost the driver disk in a fire), but nothing so far from them.
The programs I've installed and tried: Camorama, Kamoso, Xsane, Cheese, VLC media player, v4l2ctrl, v4l2ucp, v4lctl, v4l-info. Camorama doesn't work, Kamoso- you couldn't change resolutions (ditto for Xsane), Cheese - I can change resolutions, but they have these crazy values that don't work, VLC media I cannot change either. I'm supposed to be able to use v4l2ucp to change settings, but I don't get the screen that the preview for the program (in Ubuntu Software) showed.
Previously I could plug my EOS 20D into the USB and f-spot would pop up and let me import photos. This was on 9.10. The camera is fine, it still does exactly what it did on the machine next to me which is still running 9 (or 8, I forget).

I can gksu nautilus to find the permissions of the disk are set to "-1 - user #-1"
what is this about and how do i fix it so that i can read/copy/do anything with the disk without root permission?
the owner permissions are set by the camera, i'm assuming, because the actual disk creation has nothing to do with ubuntu at all.
This appears to be a frequently-asked question, but unfortunately all the answers I have been able to find are either outdated or refer to software I am not using.

*** Error *** An error occurred in the io-library ('Could not claim the USB device'): Could not claim interface 0 (No such file or directory). Make sure no other program or kernel module (such as sdc2xx, stv680, spca50x) is using the device and you have read/write access to the device.
How do I find out what module has claimed the camera, and permanently remove it or prevent it from ever doing so again? Is there some method of telling gphoto2 (or any other camera-handling program) to stamp all over anything else that has laid claim to a device and brute-force its way?
