Hi Arne,
   Downloaded and tried dvgrab-0.8 with NTSC version of Canon ZR-10
camcorder. I used:

./dvgrab --ntsc --timestamp --format dv1 FILE_NAME
./dvgrab --ntsc --timestamp --format dv2 FILE_NAME

   I then tried playing the files on both my Linux boxes and my Windows box.

dv1 sort of works on Linux
dv2 sort of works on Windows

Results:

1) dv1 output - play on xdvplay
   @ about 1/4 speed - 10 seconds of data took about 45 seconds to play

Subject: nev version of dvgrab again

Hi all,

another version of dvgrab is out:

http://www.schirmacher.de/arne/dvgrab/dvgrab_0.8.tar.gz

I have added support for both type 1 and type 2 AVI files. This means that
you 
can now use dvgrab with the MainActor Linux video sequencer program
(MainActor 
can currently only read type 2 AVI files).

Notes: The NTSC support for dv type 2 is untested because I do not have NTSC

equipment. If you can run it with a NTSC camcorder, please try it and send
an 
email if you are successful. If it doesn't work, send an email too.

There is currently no audio track available. I am working on it.

A demo version of MainActor can be downloaded from
http://www.mainconcept.com . 
It is well worth trying it.

The dvgrab website pages are not yet updated, I would like you to beta test
it 
first.

Arne
