Hi All, Has anyone been able to re-capture DV from tape at exactly the same start and stop point? I recall that "dvcont seek" doesn't actually work for the camera, but thought that it could be implemented in "dvcont ff / rewind / play" commands smartly. I use cinelerra, and I would like to be able to capture from my DV tapes to a file such as myfile.mov, but also have a file such as myfile.mov_sinfo than contains the start and end timecodes of the DV extraction. That way, when I am finished with the project, I could delete the file, myfile.mov (being gig's in size) and have only a few megs of project description files by which I can re-capture the source if further editing was needed. (Saves having multiple lots of 12 Gb of data stored on the HDD just to be able to re-edit a video kinda sucks!) I don't have a DV camera handy, (need to borrow it from my brother) but I was thinking borrowing his camera and playing with the dvgrab source code to get it to "smartly" seek to a time before a given timecode, ignore frames until an exact timecode, then grab the frames. Has anyone else done this? I was also considering it would be cool to modify kino into a "DV re-sourcing program". The idea being that a database of "dv tapes" be made that contains the info of the start and end timecodes of sections captured on the tapes. Then clips grabbed from these tapes could be referenced accordingly. An mock-up xml description that somewhat demonstrates the idea is attached. Just kicking ideas around. Anyone else have view on this concept?? Along a similar idea: I personally have modified vobview, (http://www.linuxmotors.com/vobview/) to rip a selection of video, saving the end position (the start position was forced to zero, since no-zero resulted in pts mismatch between audio & video) in a file, filename.vob_sinfo if anyone is interested in that. -- __________________________________________________________________ Get Firefox! http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/ Mr Pierre Dumuid Phd Student Active Noise and Vibration Control Group School of Mechanical Engineering The University of Adelaide SA 5005 AUSTRALIA Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Work: +61 (0)8 8303 3847 Mobile: 0407 570 263 Web Page : http://www.mecheng.adelaide.edu.au/ __________________________________________________________________ CRICOS Provider Number 00123M ----------------------------------------------------------- This email message is intended only for the addressee(s) and contains information that may be confidential and/or copyright.
