Thats is a good point Richard. There is indeed a note
regarding compatibility of firewire DV camcorders with generic
CMU firewire device drivers: DV cameras are not necessarily
in the class of devices defined by the 1394 Digital Camera
Specs according to:
http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~iwan/1394/compat.html
DV cameras I've tried (3) did not work with these drivers,
while every firewire (uncompressed video transfer) camera
device has worked fine.
So I wonder: Has anyone managed to get the CMU drivers
work with any of the Canopus or ADS NTSC/Analog to
Firewire converters?
