Expected Behavior
Selecting the device would add its' output to the preview.
Current Behavior
Selecting the device most of the time results in a crash (with no crash reports being generated)
When it doesnt crash (very rare), the video isnt being captured by obs (which was described in some post on the obs forum)
Steps to Reproduce
- Connect a sony handycam (digital8) through IEEE 1394 (aka firewire aka i.link) into a PCIe expansion card (VIA VT6308P chip)
- Select the camcorder as a video capture device
Anything else we should know?
other apps work fine (windv, scenalyzer, VLC media player)

Research direction
Start by reviewing the linked OBS log, then reproduce the crash with the Sony Handycam connected over IEEE 1394 through the VIA VT6308P card and selected as a video capture device. Compare the rare non-crashing behavior as well; done means selecting the device no longer crashes OBS and its video appears in the preview.
