Re: Digital video camera + IEEE-1394 + Firewire: How?
* Rob [2004-12-09 22:21 +0900] What do I need for transferring the movies from the video camera to my PC? Do I need software? Is that in the ports? The camera will almost certainly send raw dv-data iver the ieee1394 (aka firewire, ilink, etc) cable when set on Play. You can then use fwcontrol which is in the base system, to save the stream to disk. Now you have a raw dv-file. This file can be transcoded using dv2jpg, transcode, or some other program. You'll find something in ports. You can also use dd to extract frames and subsections of the movie. You can use dvbackup to camouflage ramdom binary data as dv-data and then use fwcontrol to send it to tape. This way you can use your dv-camera as a cheap way of making backups (12-14 GB pr. tape). man fwcontrol(8) ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Digital video camera + IEEE-1394 + Firewire: How?
Hi, First of all, I don't know much at about the firewire stuff. I've never used it before. A friend of mine has a digital video camera (SamSung SCD70) and wants me to transfer recordings to the computer. Before visiting me, this friend will buy a IEEE 1394 add-on card as the manual of the video camera recommends. Alas, no futher details on how to do the actual data/movie transfer. When I typed apropos 1394 I found that firewire is related to this topic. Can somebody give me hints and help how to get this going? I'm running 5.3-stable. I saw that I need device firewire in the kernel config file, or load the firewire module. That part I understand. I suppose I will plug the EEE 1394 card into my PC, bootup and the kernel will find it. What do I need for transferring the movies from the video camera to my PC? Do I need software? Is that in the ports? Thanks very much! Rob. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

On Linux, DVGRAB does just this - reads a 1394 input and creates AVI files from the video/audio stream. At least one program in ports/multimedia mentions dvgrab, but I cannot find that program itself in ports. -- -=[L]=- ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

FireWire or i.Link) interface. Libdv was developed according to the official standards for DV video: IEC 61834 and SMPTE 314M. Please note that this software is only concerned with the DV video compression format, which is different from capturing the data from a camcorder. xdvshow-00.2003.09.03_2 xdvshow is a DV/RTP viewer on X11.

Hi, I know a very good software used by internet2 (research channel) people. Its DVTS: phantor# whereis dvts dvts: /usr/ports/multimedia/dvts http://www.sfc.wide.ad.jp/DVTS/ Try to use it. It workd with IPv6, IPv4 unicast and multicast modes. Do you have a digital mini DV camera and fireware connections working ? If you (or you institution) is connected to Internet2 you can use it to show some institutional video: http://people.internet2.edu/~bdr/dvguide.html Att, Giuliano signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
