Hi, after some experiments, I discovered that our bumblebee apparently only works with DC1394_VIDEO_MODE_FORMAT7_3. I have attached a patch that adds this mode to the bumblebee package. Now I get the two stereo images at normal video rates. Then I tried to run the stereo_calibration, but found that no camera info is published yet (and no service is advertised..). Is somebody already working on this, or has a solution for that?
