I talk about how to use the program Kino to import raw video from a camcorder via firewire connection to a pc. Initially I had problems with the Sony handycam mini DV camcorder when using Kino as it wouldnt detect the camcorder but I found a workaround which I demonstrate. This procedure may help others who cant get their camcorders to work with Kino.

Your method is OK, however I use console command to grab video from my camera, teh command I use: dvgrab -f hdv -noavc -nostop
Tehn I play the video, then once finisched hit “ctrl-c” and I end uo with a file.m2t so I can edit or process.

Thanks for the info, its appreciated. I’ve tried pretty much everything to get my cam to work and nothing works on a permanent basis, once I reboot its back to the same error message. I’ve tried adding to the disk option as you suggested and still no joy. I’ll either have to put up with running Kino via root or just use windows movie maker instead.

Add the group “disk” to your own user account and that’ll take care of it. I went from Fiesty to Intrepid and thought I was going insane when Kino just refused to see the camera as anything but root on the same system that had it working earlier that day. Beats going in as root.

Thanks for your video response Arthur, its appreciated, unfortunately it didnt work out for me, I still get the message at the bottom of Kino ” WARNING: raw1394 kernel module not loaded or failure to read/write/dev/” Once I run gksudo kino from the terminal there is no error message and everything works so its obviously a permissions issue.
