I just deleted the originals but here is another new one http://www.megaupload.com/?d=8XF8JTI5 btw. yes I did the modprobe zr364xx debug=1

This is very promising. That is real output you have in that file. Do this: mplayer tv:// -tv driver=v4l when the camera is using the zr364xx module. Copy and paste the output here

It looks like you're missing the /dev/video0 device. Build it with the following command as root: mknod /dev/video0 c 81 0

Maybe your kernel doesn't have video4linux compiled?

RELEASE
Version 0.12 is released http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/saturntools Features: Enable Mass Storage added GetClock and SetClock buttons implemented GUI redesign new pretty file icons in camera tree view A linux binary and a win32 one are included. You need a bunch of dll's for the windows one, they can be obtained by googling for a set of gtk dll's Screenshot:

Success on Mac OS X!
I've gotten ops-for-linux 0.12 up and running on Mac OS X. Ceres, too, but I'll describe that elsewhere. 1) In ops-linux.h, on line 24, add these two lines after the line "#define __LITTLE_ENDIAN 1:" #elif defined(__APPLE__) && defined(__MACH__) #include <machine/endian.h> 2) In the Makefile, remove "-warn-common" from PKG_LDFLAGS 3) In the Makefile, add "-bind_at_load" to LDFLAGS Next, try to make, and use FinkCommander to install binaries for each of the assorted missing libraries that cause errors. After this, if you want to "make install", you need to do a few more changes: 1) In Makefile, change: install := install -D --owner 0 --group 0 to install := install -o 0 -g 0 2) In Makefile, change both occurences of: "$(install) --mode" ... to "$(install) -m" . Then... sudo make install --- I -*test*-('")ed most buttons (details below) and, for the most part, everything worked smoothly. The only functionality that appears to be broken is "set camera settings." The highlight of the experience was watching the results of the "Enable Mass Storage" button. A "NO_NAME" drive mounted (no surprise), and then iPhoto 5 launched, and prompted me to name and describe the film to be imported. The iPhoto import was smooth, but the resulting files still need ffmpeg post-processing (described elsewhere) to fix audio for Quicktime-based applications. --- notes on functionality: Fully functional: "Open Camcorder" "Unlock" "Close Camcorder" "Download All Movies" "Update Directory Listing" "Get Clock value" "Delete File" "Powerdown Camcorder" "Download Flash" "Enable Mass Storage" !! "Download Last Movie" "Set clock value" "Toggle camera lcd screen" "Send Monitor Command" "Camera Settings" "download file" "Upload file" Un-*test*-('")ed: "Download Memory" "Format Storage" Problems: "Capture Video" (no file created) 0xd000 returned: 00 04 30 0b failure on 0xd000 0xd000 returned: 00 00 00 00

That's awesome! I'll look into adding those changes into ops-linux.h asap, and into fixing your other problems //edit: just fyi, Enable Mass Storage uses Send Monitor Command so both are actually confirmed

http://www.rpi.edu/~schneg/ops-for-linux-mac-alpha.tar.gz Try compiling and using this version. (Mostly I just want to see if it works without changes.) I've added a messagebox to say when setclock works (before it was completely silent.) I'm going to ignore the capture video stuff since that's questionable on windows also and since it doesn't do anything useful yet it's not really worth poring over. Could you download USP.BIN from your camera and send it to me? It could be corrupted, possibly (which is not a fatal thing). I want to do comparisons with my USP.BIN file and see if yours was messed up in downloading or just a little different from what we expected. Also, could you post the binary you get from compiling the program? I'm sure all the mac people on this forum would appreciate it :)

Yes indeed mac users would be happy :lol: I'd be happy cause then i'd not feel like an idiot for not being able to figure this out myself! I'm not a programmer, but I thought I'd give compilation a go... I have the developer tools installed, x-11 is installed, i got fink installed and had it download and install libusb and gtk2+. then i downloaded this and made the changes (also tried the new link to the one including the changes).... cd'd to the source directory, in terminal typed 'sudo make install' and got the following errors (maybe just path errors, but i don't know what to do to fix them): Brians-PB15:~/Desktop/ops/ops-for-linux brian$ sudo make install make: pkg-config: Command not found make: pkg-config: Command not found cc -c -fno-common -ffast-math -W -Wall -Wshadow -Wcast-align -Wredundant-decls -Wbad-function-cast -Wcast-qual -Wwrite-strings -Waggregate-return -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -O2 -s set_clock.c -o set_clock.o In file included from set_clock.c:1: ops-linux.h:55:21: error: gtk/gtk.h: No such file or directory ops-linux.h:56:17: error: usb.h: No such file or directory In file included from set_clock.c:1: ops-linux.h:110: error: parse error before 'GtkWidget' ops-linux.h:110: warning: no semicolon at end of struct or union ops-linux.h:111: warning: type defaults to 'int' in declaration of 'b' ops-linux.h:111: warning: data definition has no type or storage class AND SO ON... for another couple hundred lines so any tips to a novice or link to a binary are equally welcome and thanks in advance.

You need the gtk 2.0 library and libusb to compile this program

as i mentioned, i DID obtain and install the libusb and gtk 2+ libraries from the Fink (install from source) command. I assume that the original post which said 'install necessary componants from Fink' just meant those two, although if thats the case I dont know what I missed. it seems like my errors are indicating that they are not installed in the 'right place'. but again, i don't know how to remedy that....

You're also missing pkg-config apparently. That's not essential though: just replace `pkg-config --cflags gtk+-2.0` with -DXTHREADS -D_REENTRANT -DXUSE_MTSAFE_API -I/usr/include/gtk-2.0 -I/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/include -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/include/atk-1.0 -I/usr/include/pango-1.0 -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/include/freetype2/config -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include and replace `pkg-config --libs gtk+-2.0` with -lgtk-x11-2.0 -lgdk-x11-2.0 -latk-1.0 -lgdk_pixbuf-2.0 -lm -lpangoxft-1.0 -lpangox-1.0 -lpango-1.0 -lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -ldl -lglib-2.0 That might be causing everything else.
