I read your mail, and ended up doing this: fwcontrol -u 0 -M dv -R mini.dv Using the onboard firewire chip. When I combine the part about the '-M' flag: -M mode Explicitly specify either dv or mpeg mode for the incoming stream. Only meaningful in case of and must precede the -R option. If not specified, the program will try to guess. with the example: EXAMPLES fwcontrol -R original.dv Receive a DV stream with DV camera attached. To my eyes, it looked (and looks) as if the '-M' flag was optional; and for whatever reason, I did not have to specify '-M dv' prior to this instance; so fwcontrol guessed correctly for all previous instances. Anyway, problem solved; thanks for your help. Also, I apologize for the bounce; my alias was broken.
