Multiple FireWire cameras (was: b45 Logging Writing Continuously To Log)

[Steve Sisak]

I just wanted to report back to the list that I've isolated and 
reproduced Hans' problem.

There is a driver bug that manifests itself when running 2 IIDC 
cameras simultaneously because of a few globals that shouldn't be 
global in the FireWire code.

It will probably take a day or two to fix this, but I believe the 
only way to reproduce it is using Security Spy with 2 FireWire 
cameras. (Does anyone know of other apps which use multiple 
simultaneous streams?)

Switching between FireWire cameras should be fine as well as 
simultaneous use of FireWire and USB cameras, so please continue 
using 1.1b46 -- I don't expect the fix to affect anything else.
