IEEE1394/Firewire O2Micro Chipset

Hi,

I've a Fujitsu Siemens H240 Celsius laptop and I was trying to grab DV output from a Sony Camcorder.

Initially I was testing with cinelerra, but I have also had the problem doing:

cat /dev/dv1394/0

Once I press play on the camcorder I get what seems like a few hundred bytes of input and then the entire machine freezes up. It appears to be freezing up at the hardware level too.

For those of you who have a Fujitsu there's a small LCD display between the keyboard and screen. On that display the two right most symbols flash on and off.

Not even the SysRq commands do anything.

Any help/ideas appreciated!

Cheers,

Richard
