hi flavio...that's a bit off-topic, although not exactly.....actual
debian kernel 2.6.22 doesn't suport raw1394 as firewire device, so
kino/dvgrab doesn't work....
better wait to update any debian system...
;)
Hi there,
So it is that I finally started editing on HDV. During this process though
I'd like to ask a few questions so that I can write on estudiolivre.org or
so a nice workflow in portuguese - something in portuguese that worked fine
for people here. However, I myself am having some doubts in the process,
some of which I describe below. Any help would be a lot appreciated.
1. Capturing
As far as I've researched on the web there are few ways of capturing HDV
material into a computer. The three process I found were via dvgrab3.0 (that
would require a debian unstable system package), test-mpeg2 and mpg1394grab.
I haven't installed dvgrab3.0 because I like to work on stable systems and I
thought it would be nice if there was a way that wouldn't require an update
on the whole machine. So I first tried test-mpeg2. The ./configure and make
steps went fine, but I couldn't actually make it work. I can send the exact
error then, but firstly I'd like to know if someone knows of a manual or
something like that on the web. Mainly, I did a "test-mpeg2 > archive.ts"
and it said it started receiving or something, and it did create the .ts
file but wouldn't write anything on it. I plan to do future tests yet.
mpg1394 worked nicely, no real efforts in capturing whatsoever, I'm happy
with it even though it does not split files or control the camera, as dvgrab
most likely would...
So the main question here would be about the funcionality of test-mpeg2
really.
2. exporting to camera
This one relates to the previous question. As far as I've seen, it seems
that only test-mpeg2 would export the HDV material back to the camera. And I
would like to know if my computer would handle that (p4 ht 3.2), so I'd like
to test it. But I couldn't make it work =( And I also haven't found any
nice tutorial on this particular step, so I'm a bit lost in this one. I
guess so far it would be my main aim at this moment. Any hints? Even on
other programs that would do the job?
3. editing
I am following the steps in the cin manual. I have seen that my computer
(cinelerra with no OpenGL) is not able to handle HDV footage by itself -
that meaning: capturing, creating the .TOC files and opening them on
cinelerra (1440x1080i) to edit. But I have also seen that for some people
having OpenGL has not made an amazing difference. So far it doesn't matter,
because I plan to do the proxy editing, creating the Mjpeg + Wav = DV or MOV
files and use the script to "reconvert" them back to HDV at rendering. My
only question here would be: is it very worthy for me to change my cin to an
OpenGL-able version? With DV it has been working tremendously fine under
XV-X11...
thanks for the help,
flavio
