dvgrab

[Bryan S. <ar...@ve...>]

Last night my friend and I went out and bought a $79 Digital Research
firewire card at Best Buy.  This card runs off the TI chipset which is
OHCI compliant.  I recompiled my kernel and got everything working, but I
don't know what to use to view/convert the outported avi file from dvgrab.
I tried using gvplay, but it crashes complaining about audio not being
supported yet.  xanim doesn't work either.  Maybe someone knows of a
converter program I can use to convert the uncompressed avi to a mpeg2 or
regular mpeg?

Here's the specs of my setup:

Digital Research IEEE-1394 4-port card (3ext, 1int)
Canon XL1 Digital Camcorder
AMD K6-3 450
128MB RAM
1GB free on this computer, but will be using a 36GB drive NFS mounted
later for storage.
Sound Blaster Live! Value with pretty new open source drivers.

The IEEE-1394 will eventually go in a nicer computer with an 18GB SCSI-3
drive and probably dual-processors.  I want to be able to use Broadcast
2000 to generate movies with eventually...

If there's any other information that might be needed such as the actual
chipset model number on the IEEE-1394 card please ask.  Right now I'm
either thinking that the avi file was created correctly and I haven't
found any programs that can read it yet, or the XL1 isn't fully supported
yet and I can try and help you guys out with adding support.

Hey, if you got an avi file at all you're doing better than I did last
night (but I need to upgrade my kernel from 2.2.13 to 2.2.14. It
recognizes
the card but can't get a handle on anything attached).  Since you got
further
than I did I'm assuming the problems aren't with the 1394 stuff.

I did find that xanim (didn't try gvplay) is picky about its AVI files,
it wouldn't play the AVI capture I did off of xawtv either. (Didn't like
24 bits/pixel format.) It might be simplest to try transferring the file
to a Windows system (or reboot if you have a dual-boot machine) and try
it
in Media Player.  (Just for testing, of course,  you wouldn't want to do
that all the time.)

Hi~

It's a simple reason.
because, there is no public DV decoder in linux.
