Software / Using a Sony Handycam as a webcam via Sundtek MediaTV Pro III in Linux
« am: April 02, 2014, 07:06:46 Nachmittag »
Hello guys,
I'd like to use a Sony Handycam HDR-CX410VE as a webcam in Ubuntu 12.04.
My aim is to capture the camera output live using Galicaster software.
The camcorder doesn't support USB streaming.
I connected the Camera to my Laptop using an microUSB-to-RCA-cable and the MediaTV Pro III stick (gonna upload a picture of my construction) and installed the latest driver for Linux.

My system recognized the stick, but to access to the camcorder was possible.
I checked it using mplayer as said in the instruction, but the result was just a green screen and high-pitched sound.
Using VLC was not possible either. Selecting /dev/video1 (which was da Sundtek stick) as my video source haven't had any effect for streaming.
I used qv4l2 to check /dev/video1, but no useful information was given. As I tried to test the device I simply got a window with black screen and a 'No frame'-note.
I've tried older drivers, too, but there was no other result, except that qv4l2 responded 'Resource not availble' instead of showing a black frame.
Do you think capturing frames is possible this way? And if so, how can I do that?
It would be great if you can help, I'm struggling for days now xD

P.S.: Can't upload the picture :C
I tried to upload one from /user/home/Bilder, which is less then 128 kB, but I always get a message which says that it has no access to the UploadFile.
