problem capturing HDV: msg#00020

Subject: problem capturing HDV
(I am new to this)
I have a Sony HDR-HC3 camcorder connected to a RH9 Linux system
(2.4.20-31.9) with a Belkin F5U501-APL card (ohci1394 driver)

I want to capture JPEGs in HDV (1080i) mode.

dvgrab-1.0 works when the camera output is set to DV;
"dvgrab --format jpeg --every 10 --jpeg-overwrite" will do
what I want.

gscanbus lists information about the camera, and when it's in
play/edit mode, will let me work the VCR controls.

If "rec format" is set to "hdv 1080i", dvgrab-1 gives a lot of frame
errors. I believe this is expected.

I tried building dvgrab-2.0, which I had read somewhere would
read HDV (MPEG2). When I try, in HDV or DV modes, I see the following
error:


  Found AV/C device with GUID 0x0800460104d81fa2
  ieee1394io.cc:437: In function "virtual bool
  iec61883Reader::StartReceive()": "iec61883_dv_fb_start( m_iec61883dv,
  channel )" evaluated to -1
  ieee1394io.cc:437: errno: 25 (Inappropriate ioctl for device)
  Warning: Cannot set RR-scheduler
  Warning: Cannot disable swapping

No video is captured. Interactive mode works (I can pause
and play the camera VCR)

I tried libiec61883-1.0.0/examples/test-mpeg2 which I had read would
read HDV, but it gives a SIGSEGV.

Prior to that, "strace" throws up
  ioctl(3, 0xc020231b, 0x804a6d4) = -1 ENOTTY (Inappropriate
 ioctl for device)


I have:
libdv-0.104-1
libraw1394-0.9.0-8 upgraded to libraw1394-1.2.1
libiec61883-1.0.0
libavc1394-0.3.1-5 upgraded to libavc1394-0.5.3

Should this work (capture HDV) ?
Am I missing something obvious ?
