Re: Sony DCR-HC40E via firewire capture

You do not have read/write permission to /dev/raw1394. Most distributions do not give the user default permission to that. Linux FireWire was improved so distributions can set that correctly by default, but the work was only completed fairly recently and may take a little while for distributions to support it. Hopefully, all will be by end of 2010.
