Re: Cannot capture video with Nikkon D5000/D5100 on Rasbian system

Greetings again,

I have discovered that when I insert an SD card in the Nikkon D5100 movie
capture works fine with the command I originally posted with *one change*:
*--wait-event-and-download* must be set to at least 4s. Anything below that
appears to cause the file download to fail. I do not get any error messages
whatsoever so I do not understand why that is happening but I'm guessing
it's because anything below 4s is less than the time required to actually
complete the file transfer. So this issue appears to have been resolved
although i would like to know whether it is possible to capture video
without an SD card and also whether there is any way to capture video on a
Nikkon D5000 - the "moviesound" setting i mentioned earlier appears to be
simply a setting to determine whether the movie will have sound or not
although it is useless if the actual movie capture setting is not visible.
