Need help - can't open camera
The info for my CVS camcorder shows as follows: 12/01/1964 18:28 FW-VERSION: 53.18 Realm ID = 20 GF5072901671 PCB VER:DC-6910 A5 I am running Linux, but I think this is more a unlocking problem, not an os-specific problem. I have ops-for-linux and also have avidownload. Here is what I am running into, and since I'm new at this I have no idea where to go now. Any help would be appreciated! With avidownload dave@dave-desktop:~/avidownload/src$ sudo ./avidownload Closing devices...

Try shortening your USB cable or checking to see if you have any shorts between cables.
