During normal capturing, piave can detect the beginning of new scenes. So there might be a "split at new scene" button. Somewhere in the 'renderer setup' one might want to ad a textbox with a rule for creating filenames, like "/mybigdisk/video/tmp/capture-%i.dv" so people can define where their captured video goes. piave is not supposed to know about user preferences. Cheers, Rolf PS: the feature relies on the information piave get's from the camera. I experienced wrong info with my camcorder, so piave did either not split where it should, or did split where it shouldn't. However, since MovieDV under windows makes the same mistakes I think we have to live with this. I will check back with dvgrab and see if they have any smart logic to improve the scene detection. I am thinking of checking frame timestamps to detect cases where a frame has a 'new recording' tag, but the timestamp suggests otherwise. But all that does not have a high priority. -- contacts: http://www.physi.uni-heidelberg.de/~dubitzky
