[PD] pix_video and dv1394 capture on Edgy

[Ivica Ico Bukvic]

Hi all,

Here I am 6 months later trying to upgrade my laptop and a new issue has
cropped up with my video capture in Gem.

System: Ubuntu 6.10 (edgy) i386 using udev
Graphics: ATI 9600 running fglrx
Kernel: 2.6.18-rt7
Video capture: el-cheapo camcorder run through ADVC-100 firewire device

When running Kino, the camera gets captured just fine and everything "just
works" as expected. However, in Gem (tried 0.90, CVS from November and
another one from today's snapshot), I need to send following messages for
Gem capture to work at all:

device /dev/dv1394/0
mode NTSC
driver 1

This starts capture reporting DV capture quality at 5, but the captured
stuff is black. The only proof that things are getting captured comes from
disconnecting the feed in the middle of the capture by pulling the video
cable that connects camcorder with the ADVC-100 and then one can notice
change in the color and/or momentary flicker of the captured area.
