FW: [PATCH] MPEG2-TS patch for fwcontrol

[Petr Holub]

Hi,

do you think it would be worth commiting the following patches for
fwcontrol to be able to receive HDV (MPEG2) streams?

Thanks,
Petr

OK, I've tried to stylify the patches and the new version are again
available here:
for 5.x: http://sitola.fi.muni.cz/~hopet/HDV/fwcontrol.patch
for 6.x: http://sitola.fi.muni.cz/~hopet/HDV/fwcontrol-6.0.patch

Sending - not yet. It's a little bit more complicated process because
of the rules for data packetization on FireWire. As for the DVHS decks,
I don't have any so I can't try that. The functionality of the patches has
been verified using both SONY cameras mentioned in my previous mail.
