OK... I see... I have that package installed but I'm using debian so I'll have to look into it again. Maybe, a source install straight from the gnome tar's will help. I assue that Arne is using an rpm based distro. For dvgrab, I understood the command line but I just have very little clue on how to debug and do sanity checks. The play button info is useful.. the Nikon D1 is a camera so I don't know what I can do about this. I think I'll test with one of theose little webcams... do you have to press play on those suckers? Can you? ;) Thanks, Felix On Fri, 12 Jan 2001, Perry Gilfillan wrote: > 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.
