[GnomeMeeting-list] DV cam and gnomemeeting

["Hannes Seyrkammer" <H Seia gmx at>]

Hello all,

this is the first time writing to the gnomemeeting-list, so hello to
ecerybody who reads this

I have the following problem:
I got a sony dcr-trv19e and i got suse 9.0 with gnomemeeting (version
0.98.1-39 i586) installed. And now I want both work together...

So far gnomemeeting works fine with an old creative webcam and the sony
dc-cam works fine with kino, but the dc-cam can't be opened in GM. Under
GM/edit/preferences/videodevice I see the /dev/raw1394 and /dev/video1394 and can
select them, but the message that follows is: 'Error while opening video device
/dev/video1394'.

As a complete Linux newbie I've been reading forums and FAQs for days and
googled a lot to solve the problem. But the only possibility to use the dc-cam
with gnomemeeting without a proper driver for the sony trv19e (as far as i
figured out), seems to use a video-capture card  that can be recognized by
video4linux and so the videostream from the dc-cam can be transferred to
gnomemeeting. Maybe with the 'hauppauge dv-wizard' which is listened at
http://linux1394.sourceforge.net/hcl.php, but is this card supported for v4l? (at
http://www.exploits.org/v4l/ the Hauppauge WinTV PVR is listened, but this is an
analog card...). 

Please tell me if this is correct, or if you have other
suggestions/solutions for my problem(s), please let me know.

Thank you for any help,
Hannes
