Hi!
I've got some DV files (grabbed from a Pana-camera, with iMovie - from
iLife - on a Mac). In my laptop I have an PCMCIA based FW-card, so
I'd like to transfer these files to my DVD-recorder's disk, which has
DV-IN connector on it. I connected my machine with a DV-cable to my
recorder, set up the recorder to use the DV connector as a source, and
tried the "fwcontrol -S myfile.dv" command. fwcontrol printed numbers
1234... and so on, and after about a minute, (it was the length of the
DV-file) it stopped. But the dvd-recorder didn't see any data on the
DV-IN line.
So after it, I tried fwcontrol -r, fwcontrol -t, tried to ask the
configuration with -c 0, -c 1, but it wasn't good. So some questions:
- what does the information mean in an "fwcontrol -t" output? Eg, like
this one in the laptop:
nothing plugged in it:
crc_len: 3 generation:3 node_count:1 sid_count:1
id link gap_cnt speed delay cIRM power port0 port1 port2 ini more
00 1 5 S400 0 1 -1W - - 1 0
plugged the cable into one of the ports:
crc_len: 4 generation:9 node_count:2 sid_count:2
id link gap_cnt speed delay cIRM power port0 port1 port2 ini more
00 1 5 S100 0 1 0W - P 0 0
01 1 5 S400 0 1 -1W - C 1 0
When I plugged the cable on the other connector of my FW-card, the C
went from port1 to port0:
crc_len: 4 generation:14 node_count:2 sid_count:2
id link gap_cnt speed delay cIRM power port0 port1 port2 ini more
00 1 5 S100 0 1 0W - P 0 0
01 1 5 S400 0 1 -1W C - 1 0
And this one is from my other machine, with a built-in FW-controller,
with only one connector, and without a cable plugged in it:
crc_len: 3 generation:2 node_count:1 sid_count:1
id link gap_cnt speed delay cIRM power port0 port1 port2 ini more
00 1 5 S400 0 1 -1W - - 1 0
So what do these pieces of information mean?
What are node names - I need them to the -c or -d, or to some other
options? Where can I see them?
How can I know, that my machine sees the DVD-recorder on the link, or
what can I do, if it doesn't see?
Thanks,
