Hi all, a new version of dvgrab is available. Download it from http://www.schirmacher.de/arne/dvgrab/ .It also has some documentation in english and german language and links to other 1394 and DV related resources. The biggest advantage is a new feature which I named "autosplit". It checks certain flags in the DV data to see whether the current frame belongs to a new recording. If so, it creates a new AVI file for this new recording. It will also create new AVI files whenever the requested number of frames is exceeded or when the AVI file reaches the 2 GByte file size limit. What you can do now (and I like this feature really): hook up your camcorder, fire up dvgrab and one hour later you have a neat collection of lots of AVI files each having its own scenes. This is really useful, because most video editing software works better with a number of smaller files instead of a single huge one. And you have a workaround for that 2 GByte file size limit too. The program is now in C++. The main reason for it is that the RIFF/AVI file format leads to an OO-approach naturally, and I also got exception handling and less global variables by doing the port. Let me know whether you like it. Arne |
