dvgrab Error:no DV with Panasonic NV-MX500EG

[mbeili]

Binary package hint: dvgrab

Hello Maintainer,

while using my Panasonic DV Camera NV-MX-500EG I got trouble doing a capture with dvgrab.
The version is:

apt-cache policy dvgrab
dvgrab:
  Installiert: 3.1-2
  Kandidat: 3.1-2
  Versions-Tabelle:
 *** 3.1-2 0
        500 cdrom://Ubuntu-Studio 8.10 _Intrepid Ibex_ - Release i386 (20081028) intrepid/universe Packages
        500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com intrepid/universe Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

The command does not start the playback on the camera to do an capture.
Here is the output:

 dvgrab -f dv1 test-1-

Error: no DV

I have crosschecked with a NV-GS400. With the NV-GS400 capture works.

In the past with older version it works fine. I tried dynebolic 2.5.2 and it works fine.
Here some info about the versions that dynebolic use:
dvcont version 0.4
dvgrab version 3.0
libavc1394 version 0.3.0

Linux dyne-000D60E83DCC 2.6.18-ck1-dyne #7 SMP Sat Oct 13 01:16:05 UTC 2007 i686 pentium4 i386 GNU/Linux

The av/c works fine using gscanbus from Ubuntu 8.10.
I also compiled and tried today the version 3.2 of dvgrab from Ubuntu 9.04 with the same bad result.

Here the output from testlibraw:

Report at upstream dvgrab:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2492640&group_id=14103&atid=114103

Status so far:
linux-image-2.6.18-6-686_2.6.18.dfsg.1-23etch1_i386.deb works while Ubuntu 2.6.27-9.19-generic doesn't.

This bug can be fixed with the patch Stefan wrote at:

http://marc.info/?l=linux1394-devel&m=123247508317615

Please insert the patch in the next Ubuntu Kernel Release on all versions starting from Kernels later than 2.6.18.

It greatly improves working with camcorders (such as Panasonic sells)

[Stefan Richter (stefan-r-ubz)]

I agree with mbeili.

FYI, the patch is currently staged in kernel.org's linux1394-2.6.git's fixes branch. I will push this for 2.6.29-rc circa in a week or so together with some unrelated updates, and after that propose it for inclusion into kernel.org's 2.6.28.y and 2.6.27.y. You may want to pull the patch into your kernels earlier than that.

[Dimitrios Symeonidis (azimout)]

Stefan, is this issue fixed in the latest Ubuntu release?

[Stefan Richter (stefan-r-ubz)]

The patch mentioned in comment #2 has been merged in mainline kernels 2.6.29, 2.6.28.5, and 2.6.27.16. I.e. it's fixed in Karmic. Do you know whether those 2.6.x.y updates went into Jaunty and Intrepid kernel packages?

[Dimitrios Symeonidis (azimout)]

Search for OHCI1394 in the following changelogs:
http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/l/linux/linux_2.6.28-15.49/changelog
and
http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/l/linux/linux_2.6.27-14.39/changelog

You'll see that the patch is in the latest kernels for Jaunty and Intrepid...

I'm closing this bug as fix released
