Hi there,

OK, I am so close, but I need a little help with firewire, as I can record
with test-mpeg2, but for some reason Myth won't accept it. I am set my
capture device to 0,0 and have tried sa4200 as well as sa3250hd settings at
200Mbps as well as 400Mbps, using the Peer to Peer setting. When I run
mythfrontend, the startup output looks like this:

X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 169
  Major opcode:  147
  Minor opcode:  3
  Resource id:  0x0
Failed to open device

I think the first few lines are the key. I wonder if I missed the step of
how one "initializes" a firewire box? I can't find out how to do that.

Help!
