Re: DVGrab... or Kino...

[Perry G. <pe...@gi...>]

Felix,

You'll get gnomeConf.sh when you install gnome-libs-devel.  goto
http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=gnome-libs-devel

The latest Kino_0.33 http://www.schirmacher.de/arne/kino/kino_0.33.tar.gz
has both capture and export functions now.  Arne has incorporated dvgrab into kino.  It captures NTSC and PAL, but I wasn't able to export to a Sony DCR-TRV310 (NTSC)  Arne has PAL equip to test on, so we know it works in Europe.

There is a little blurb on usage at the bottom of the README.  The changes are on top, and I didn't scan to the end the first time I looked at it either.  If you will do 'dvgrab --help' the options are pretty self explanitory.  Start with './dvgrab --frames=10 filename'      dvgrab does not do any thing to control the tape transport. ( it doesn't push <play> for you.
)   dvgrab will wait for the play button to be pushed.

If you can push the play button on the Nikon D1, then you can use it as a video source.  If you are recording Ink Blots, then yes, you can use it as a sanity check!

Cherrio!
