[Digikam-users] Panasonic video camera

[Yan Seiner]

I just got a really nice SD card based video camera, a Panasonic SDR-SW20.

The camera shows up as a usb storage device, and digikam recognizes it.

Unfortunately it apparently stores its files in a non-standard location:

selene:/mnt/usb# ls -R
.:
dcim  misc  sd_video

./dcim:

./misc:
autprint.mrk

./sd_video:
mgr_info  prg001

./sd_video/mgr_info:
mgr_data  prg_mgr

./sd_video/prg001:
mov001.mod  mov002.moi  mov004.mod  mov005.moi  mov007.mod  mov008.moi  
mov00a.mod  mov00b.moi  mov00d.mod
mov001.moi  mov003.mod  mov004.moi  mov006.mod  mov007.moi  mov009.mod  
mov00a.moi  mov00c.mod  mov00d.moi
mov002.mod  mov003.moi  mov005.mod  mov006.moi  mov008.mod  mov009.moi  
mov00b.mod  mov00c.moi  prg001.pgi
selene:/mnt/usb# 

All digikam sees are the "mgr_data  prg_mgr" entries.  It treats these 
as files and does not descend into them.

avidemux sees the .mod files as MPEG PS so everything there seems to be 
OK; it's just that digikam needs to recurse into all dirs, not just dcim....
