How to take single frames?

Hello list,

I don't know if my last email regarding this subject came through or not,
so let me ask this again. I'm developing an application that requires
single pictures taken from an IEEE1394 camera. I tried to do this along
the lines of grab_color_image from the libdc1394 library, but the example
program gets stuck at the dc1394_single_capture() call.

The camera works fine with coriander, but only in video1394 capture mode,
not raw1494. Could this be a related problem?

I've been thinking of temporarily using the video4linux interface from
coriander as a workaround, but this relies on the vloopback module which I
can't get to build on linux-2.4.17 (it hasn't been supported for a long
time anyway).

Does this sound familiar to anyone? Is there another sample application
that I could use for capturing single frames, or a more up-to-date
substutute for vloopback (I've been looking pretty hard but weren't able
to find anything).

Thanks,
--Daniel
