Hi, I have asked this on questions, current and other lists with no or little response. I first bought a Canon MVX200 (PAL) camera but running fwcontrol I got the following output: # fwcontrol -R test.dv (EAGAIN) (EAGAIN) fwcontrol: unknown format 0x1e Asking on the lists finally one suggested that it may be the brand, Canon, that he had general lybad experiences with (luckily I could return the camera). I now bought a Sony HC39E (PAL) and get the exact same behaviour. This suggest that it is not the brand but either a software or hardware error in the other end. I have never tried firewire before, so I can't say for sure that it works. I'm running FreeBSD 6.0 BETA 4, I first had the error with BETA 3, then I upgraded my entire system to make sure no old programs were in the way. How do I debug this? Better, how do I solve this?

I'd really like, if not a solution, then hints on how to get bettter debug info than that I have posted in the previous mails. As with the Canon camera I can return this within a week, so after that I can't do more debugging. Since I haven't ever had firewire working I can't exclude it's a 42cm error, but if so please point me at it :-) Thanks, Erik -- Ph: +34.666334818 web: http://www.locolomo.org S/MIME Certificate: http://www.locolomo.org/crt/2004071206.crt Subject ID: A9:76:7A:ED:06:95:2B:8D:48:97:CE:F2:3F:42:C8:F2:22:DE:4C:B9 Fingerprint: 4A:E8:63:38:46:F6:9A:5D:B4:DC:29:41:3F:62:D3:0A:73:25:67:C2
