Importing Video from camera into (Lucid) via firewire (4 pin)

hilgerps · 08-03-2010, 02:14 PM

Here is what I need. I want to import raw High Def video into my computer so I can edit it on Cinelerra.

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.]

Hi there,

Tried it all... I even tried it with a completely different installation. No luck.

The ieee 1394 cord works, the camera is recognized in windows... so...

Frustration

You say you have tried it all ...
So what are the errors, messages, etc. What is actually happening and when ?
"It doesn't work" is not much use to anyone.
