Camcorder not detecting through firewire port.
I recently tried to connect my Panasonic Camcorder to my linux laptop using firewire port (4 pin to 4 pin cable). But after connecting, nothing happened.
I have no idea what's happening. Any pointers? How do I go about troubleshooting? This is the 1st time I am using the firewire port, so I am not sure whether there's anything wrong with the h/w or is it incompatibility with the camcorder. Laptop - Dell Inspiron 6400, FC11. Camcorder - Panasonic MiniDv GS85. |
Hi,

A startingpoint for troubleshooting would be the output of dmesg | tail -20 after you connected the camcorder. |
Thanks buddy,
I check dmesg and got the following : firewire_core: phy config: card 0, new root=ffc1, gap_count=5 firewire_core: created device fw1: GUID 00804580d192a198, S100 firewire_core: created device fw1: GUID 00804580d192a198, S100 firewire_core: phy config: card 0, new root=ffc1, gap_count=5 Later I got help from here and was able to capture the video. |
