Capturing MPEG2-TS from a Motorola DVR

[Ali Mazandar]

Hi all,

I have a Motorola DCT-6412 Digital Video Recorder that I'm trying to
capture the MPEG2 stream from the firewire interface.  I saw that the
patch "MPEG2-TS/HDV support for fwcontrol" had been commited to
6.2-STABLE so I updated from RELEASE to try it out.   This is what I
get when I try to receive a stream with fwcontrol:

%fwcontrol -R test.m2t
Detected DV format on input.
(EAGAIN) - push 'Play'?
(EAGAIN) - push 'Play'?
(EAGAIN) - push 'Play'?
(EAGAIN) - push 'Play'?
...

It doesn't seem to detect that a MPEG stream is playing on the
firewire interface. I even tryed forcing it with the "-M mpeg" switch
without luck.  Is there something I'm doing wrong or perhaps this
functionality hasn't been implemented yet?  Any hints or tips would be
appreciated.
