[gst-devel] Firewire cameras with DirectShow

[Phil Rendell]

Thanks. That explains why the two plugins can't speak to each other. I do
have ffdec_dvvideo, but I can't get gst-launch-0.10 dshowvideosrc ! fakesink
to work as this causes gst-launch to crash, again without anything useful
being outputted on the command line, even with the -v option. If I recreate
the pipeline in my application I get an integer division by zero exception
sometime during the call to gst_element_link_many.

I know that dshowvideosrc can find the camera because when I set the
device-name property to be the wrong camera name the pipeline falls through
without an exception being thrown. I've had a look at the other properties I
could set on dshowvideosrc, but can't see anything that jumps out at me that
I should configure.

Is there anything else that you can think of that I could do?

Phil
