[libdv-dev] Announcing the revival of BackFire, on SourceForge

[Alastair M. <aj...@ca...>]

Hi, and apologies for cross-posting.

The BackFire project -- to develop an app to allow file backup to
digital (DV, D8) camcorders -- is being revived.   A year ago when
I first started, we couldn't yet write data back to the camcorder
so the project sort of fizzled.    

That's changed (yay!, and thanks to those of you who made that
happen), and it's time to apply the defibrillator paddles to BackFire
and try to revive it.  Backfire is now hosted on SourceForge
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/backfire/) which I hope will
encourage others to participate.  It's just been created so there's
not much up yet but a copy of the old web page and a brand new
mailing list.   I'll upload design notes and what meager code I
have soon.

Cheers,
