I just spent the weekend getting my first myth box up and running
using the excellent "fedora myth how-to" guide and I'm having a little
trouble with firewire recordings. I have the Motorola 6400 box and can
sucessfully use 'test-mpeg2 -r 1' to capture HDTV onto my HD. However,
when I setup my mythbackend and configure the firewire recording
device as...

Firewire Model: DCT-6200
Firewire Connection Type: Point to Point and Broadcast (I've tried both)
Firewire Port: 0
Firewire Node: 1
Firewire Speed: 100Mbps
Default Input: MPEG2TS

... all of my recordings fail. Here is some of my relevant info. If
anyone can see what i'm doing wrong i'd appreciate the help. I'm a
complete linux/myth/firewire recording newb, so I would imagine it is
prolly something quite simple.
