hej, hej : )

when i'm starting pd (version 0.39.2-extended-test3) there are these starting up thingis:

video4linux
ieee1394 for linux

so, when i connect my webcam (v4l), it's recognized as /dev/video0 and i can work with it.
but when i connect my camcorder (firewire) dmesg shows me, that it's recognized as /dev/raw1394...

i'm working with GEM. so i set pix_video with the device1, driver 1 ...and tried many more numbers... why isn't here the possibility to write the /dev/* ?

what can i make, that pd nows that it should look at /dev/raw1394??

i thought about the mknod option... but that's a bad hack ; )

thanx.
pat.

/dev/raw1394 is a raw device, Gem depends on a higher level access to /dev/video1394; you need the correct drivers for these devices;
and in Gem-cvs you can specify the device name with the [device( message
