hi I am trying to capture an interview with Richard Stallman (yay!) from a miniDV tape on a SUSE 10.2 64 bit box from a professional DSR-45 deck. Here is the command and the output:
linux-athlon64x2:/home/cje/capturedDV/031 # dvgrab --format raw dv999_stallman_kipp raw1394 - failed to get handle: No such file or directory. I have tried this command both as root and from my user account. Same error message. I have tested the tape and the cable and the tape deck by successfully capturing footage from an Edgy Kubuntu box. The SUSE 10.2 box has 2 GB of RAM and a dual core processor with an AMD 3800 chip. Horsepower is not the issue here. I have not pulled the firewire card to see if it is okay. That will be the next step, as soon as I can get another firewire card. In the meantime, I am wondering if I missed anything. By the way, we do have 45 hours of video footage that we are sharing with the world under a cc by-SA license, if you ever need interview footage with FOSS leaders.
