Created attachment 199321 [details] dmesg log I have a Sony HandyCam DCR-TRV460 which allows USB streaming from a live feed, from a Sony memory card, or from an 8mm tape. The problem is that only the audio is recognized. I have tried every video-capture tool available for Linux and none of them (even VLC) recognize the camera. When the camera is set to "USB STREAM" I should be able to open it as a capture device. It worked fine under Windows XP with the official driver from Sony, but I have never been able to get it to work under Linux. In Windows XP, the device is identified as "USB\VID_054C&PID_00C0&REV_0100&MI_00". In Linux, using lsusb I get "ID 054c:00c0 Sony Corp. Handycam DCR-30". Attached are some details I hope you'll find helpful. I have no idea what kernel version this ever worked properly on, or if it ever did as I am new to Linux in the last 10 years and only discovered the problem after finding some old tapes I wished to convert to digital while cleaning out my attic this past weekend.
