According to the german Wikipedia <

it's normal.



Oh, and please wrap your lines ;-)

Yup. The raw DV dump from a camera produces humongous amounts of data.

gdvrecv produces very BIG FILES

2007-07-10 Thread Dino Vliet
Dear all,
   
  I managed to connect my new canon mini dv camera to my firewire port on my 
freebsd amd64 machine and used gdvrecv to transfer the first 2 minutes of my 
first recording (did I mention I really like FreeBSD and I'm so glad it's 
possible t do this first step:-)
   
  However, this 2 minutes recording produced a dv file of +/512MB in size. I 
have a 60 minute casette so in theorie I would get a 15GB dv file? Right? Is 
that normal, to have this big sized files as a result?
   
   
  ps Unfortunately Kino didn't compile sucessfully on my FreeBSD box, so I had 
to revert to my Linux partition and process the file there (I already asked the 
port maintainer of Kino what I could do to get it working on my amd64 system_
