    How to use a dv camcorder with effectv ?

      If I had a DV cam, I'd figure it out :)

      Do you know if firewire is supported by v4l? If so, then effectv could use it.

      If not, you might have to use vloopback (yuck!) and whatever application you use to view output from the camera would need to send video to it.

      maybe fukuchi has more experience with this....

      ttyl,

        DV cam is not supported. Currently EffecTV supports only "IEEE1394 Digital Camera", which is different from "IEEE1394 Digital Video". You can see a list of IEEE1394 Digital Camers at

        http://www.tele.ucl.ac.be/PEOPLE/DOUXCHAMPS/ieee1394/cameras/

        Supporting DV cam is little bit harder than DC because it requires decoding process of input stream.

        Thanks,

      Hi,

      Could it be possible to pipe some tools, like dvgrab (grabbing from dv device), and ffmpeg or mjpegtools (or others) to convert the video into a v4l format, and then send that converted video to a vloopback device ?

      Doing so, effecttv should then be able to use the vloopback output from previous pipe, and use it ?

      I've tried to pipe dvgrab and mjpegtools, but without success... maybe someone how knows more about video encoding/format/v4l could help me ?

      thanks for your help.

      Dereck SUN.
