Still no luck with firewire and dv camera (Sony)

[Eric Anderson]

I'm not able to capture any video from my dv camera using FreeBSD.  It 
works fine with Windows.  Here's some info:

This is a Sony DCR-PC101 camera.





Turning on the camera:
Oct 31 10:26:54 neutrino kernel: fwohci0: BUS reset
Oct 31 10:26:54 neutrino kernel: fwohci0: node_id=0xc800ffc1, gen=2, 
CYCLEMASTER mode
Oct 31 10:26:54 neutrino kernel: firewire0: 2 nodes, maxhop <= 1, cable 
IRM = 1 (me)
Oct 31 10:26:54 neutrino kernel: firewire0: bus manager 1 (me)
Oct 31 10:26:54 neutrino kernel: firewire0: New S100 device 
ID:0800460102f25749

# fwcontrol -R outfile.dv
fwcontrol: read failed: Input/output error

which gives me this in my logs:
Oct 31 10:30:03 neutrino kernel: fwohci0: Isochronous receive err 8402(long)

So I tried:
# sysctl hw.firewire.try_bmr=0
hw.firewire.try_bmr: 1 -> 0
# fwcontrol -r

And I see this:
Oct 31 10:50:18 neutrino kernel: fwohci0: Initiate bus reset
Oct 31 10:50:18 neutrino kernel: fwohci0: BUS reset
Oct 31 10:50:18 neutrino kernel: fwohci0: node_id=0xc800ffc1, gen=3, 
CYCLEMASTER mode
Oct 31 10:50:18 neutrino kernel: firewire0: 2 nodes, maxhop <= 1, cable 
IRM = 1 (me)
Oct 31 10:50:18 neutrino kernel: fw_rcv: unknown response RRESQ(6) 
src=0xffc0 tl=0x24 rt=1 data=0x0
Oct 31 10:50:18 neutrino kernel: try ad-hoc work around!!
Oct 31 10:50:18 neutrino kernel: no use...

Then:
# fwcontrol -R outfile.dv
NTSC
0fwcontrol: unknown format 0xd

Oct 31 10:51:10 neutrino kernel: fwohci0: Isochronous receive err 8402(long)

# fwcontrol -R outfile.dv
NTSC
0fwcontrol: unknown format 0x3f
# fwcontrol -R outfile.dv
NTSC
01fwcontrol: unknown format 0x39
# fwcontrol -R outfile.dv
NTSC
0fwcontrol: unknown format 0x3c
# fwcontrol -R outfile.dv
NTSC
01fwcontrol: unknown format 0x3f

Nothing seems to work..

Any ideas?
