Scenario and setup:

we have a JVC miniDV camcorder (MODEL.NO.: GR-D23E),
attached to "01:09.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): NEC Corporation uPD72874 IEEE1394 OHCI 1.1 3-port PHY-Link Ctrlr (rev 01) (prog-if 10 [OHCI])"

when using dvgrab -i:

Found AV/C device with GUID 0x0080880304e8040a
Going interactive. Press '?' for help.
"Playing Paused" ff:ff:ff:ff "" sec
"stdout": buffer underrun near: timecode 00:00:00.00 date 1999.11.30 00:00:00
This error means that the frames could not be written fast enough.

except for the warning everything (play,pause,wind,rewind,trickykeys) everything works fine.

but the warning persists on each action.

when it comes to dumping the AV data from tape via firewire i invoke dvgrab using the following option switches:

dvgrab -a -f dv2 -opendml -showstatus streamdump

1. if invoked like this dvgrab does actually write the files, but it "randomly" writes/produces/dumps unreadable data
    we couln't find out wich format the damaged files are "file" sais "data" and neither vlc nor mplayer can read the files dumped,
    even tried with windows videoedit software.

2. dvgrab crashes after scene ends(bluescreen) and writes an error dump so stdout:
"Winding stopped" 00:02:27:05 "" sec
unuser@missinformation:~$ sudo dvgrab -a -f dv2 -t -showstatus test
Found AV/C device with GUID 0x0080880304e8040a

"": buffer underrun near: timecode 00:02:27.15 date 2001.09.03 06:39:36
This error means that the frames could not be written fast enough.
