I finally got my computer capturing DV movies using IEEE1394 and dvgrab. They are saved as .avi files (type 1 I believe). I can play them back on windows machines, but not in linux. My question is multi-part. What can I use to play them in Linux? I cannot get Kino or xdvplay to compile. Is there any way to convert them to another format that I can play in linux, such as MPEG 1/2 or DIVX? Thanks, Mike |

WE mostly use Kino or xdvplay. You should work on compiling them. Kino uses autotools, so it should alert you during the configure step as to what may be missing on your system. You'll probably need all of a gnome-dev collection of packages. I use Ximian Gnome on Debian, so I apt-get install task-hexlix-gnome-dev (the name might include ximian now). > Is there any way to convert them to another format that I can play in linux, > such as MPEG 1/2 or DIVX? Not yet. Broadcast creates MPEG2. For Kino, we're looking into interoperability with Broadcast. > Thanks, > Mike > > _______________________________________________ > mailing list Lin...@li... > http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux1394-user |
