Finishing Hi8 I just continued with VHS and vhsc digitizing, where red

What I now found out to my surprise is that it is really the MX-1/TBC 
that eats the colors in my work chain,  and not as exspected the A/DV 
conversion.


MX-1 has been known to include an effective, fullframe TBC, 8bit/422 
brilliant color depth/sampling and 500 lines resolution, especially 
the better PAL version. It is also a video mixer with noise filter an 
a lot of effects like Chroma key.


I have not found out if MX-1 can be set up with extended color 
saturation.


Despite that this is off-topic and specific historical, I will 
supplement that MX-1's Advanced Setup also had Black level setting and 
Composite Chroma AGC.
Setting the latter Automatic Gain Control, compensates for RCA input 
source with weak color signal, ref. the MX-1 manual chpt 5 and this 
good, old forum's reply:

https://tech.churchofjesuschrist.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=149189#p149189



But I had and have tested a Videotech Design VCC3010 high resolution 
(700 lines!) RGB color corrector and video processor, with no need to 
decode!


A week ago I tested VCC3010 in front of MX-1, with no visible result. 
That is, MX-1 did eat also these colors.


But now when VCC3010 is connected after (behind) MX-1, the colors and 
saturation on the DN-300 DV record loop/playback could be returned 
closer to the analog source.


Some will probably say colors can be added easy in the post. But I 
prefer also the "digitized sources" keep the original color levels.

Happily, the DN-300 came back from the dead and is currently
converting and recording S-video to DV again, though it
somewhat fickly to get mounted "HDD enabled" via Firewire to

Terje,
I can say with 100% certainty that here we have never tested
FIREWIRE but I did notice that the CV contributors did add
"ifdef FIREWIRE" in a few of the .C programs which
conceivably means that it can be built with the capability.
However, I guess I do not understand why you would want this
option since you stated:
   "The reason is my 10 years old FireWire based DV/HDV
recorder seemingly is dead."


Sony FX7/HDV tape Playback/i.LINK -> Datavideo DN-300
DV/HDV HDD recorder -> FireWire/Linux WS

Now when the M2T and DV recorder in the middle is dead, I
have to transfer the files directly from the camcorder/player
to the Linux WS.

Recently I successfully was able to do:  "Transfer VHS/DVD
Media or Video8/Hi8 Tapes into CINELERRA-GG" though.


Does this mean that Firewire/dv capture already is
supported or optional can be configured?



it was not tested in ages .
guess try to install all -dev version of libraries and
look at output of cingg's configure  then connect
device and try to set capture device to iec*

in preferences -> recording tab there must be source named IEC 61883.


To cross-check I translate back from my local Norwegian version to 
English:


Settings | Settings | Preferences window:

Video In / Record driver
In  the dropdown menu there are available both

  * DV 1394
  * IEC 61883




As reference also the following from Cin-CV's wiki and from Raffael's 
Howto (Cinelerra for Grandma):


http://cinelerra-cv.wikidot.com/cincv-manual-en:installation#toc1

    Firewire
    Firewire is the fastest way to download material into your system. 
Unless you will be importing your media from a CD, any other 
pre-captured format or use an analog video grabber, you will need 
firewire on your system.

    DV cameras
    There is an large variety of DV cameras that can be used with 
Cinelerra. Almost any camera that can connect using firewire will work. 
Be sure to set the appropriate parameters on the video grabbing system 
to match your particular camera.

  21.12.2 Grabbing HDV from camcorder

There is no perfect solution so far. One possibility is to
run the test-mpeg2 command available with the sources of
*libiec61883*. Use this syntax:

|test-mpeg2 > hdv_tape.mpeg|

and press *Play* on the camcorder. You should not run any
heavy resources consuming task on your computer since the
lack of caching in test-mpeg2 causes frame drops.

New version of dvgrab seems to support HDV. Minimal example:
Syntax:

|dvgrab -format mpeg2 myclip|





, but I am guessing (from bug
https://www.cinelerra-gg.org/bugtracker/view.php?id=590 ) you
might run into troubles trying to record exactly HDV stream -
because it is not DV vide

  * ffmpeg enabled FireWire DV/HDV input device using
libiec61883 (Streamcopy) seems also interesting.

On my Leap 15.4 or Tumbleweed, ffmpeg-5 is seemingly not
compiled with --enable-libiec61883.

Is possibly ffmpeg available with enabled libiec61883 via
Cin-GG?

I had a look into the Cin-GG manual chpt 13 "Capturing and
Recording Media", but could not see Firewire media transfer
was mentioned.  However, in the Appendice section B.2
Configuration Features, Optional Packages is found:

--with-firewire   use firewire (auto)
--with-dv                use dv (auto)

Does this mean that Firewire/dv capture already is supported
or optional can be configured?



it was not tested in ages .
guess try to install all -dev version of libraries and look at
output of cingg's configure  then connect device and try to
set capture device to iec* 


I guess that's not just for me ;) but will try dvgrab again
(tested it once several years ago), when my camcorder is back from
service.
The reason is my 10 years old FireWire based DV/HDV recorder
seemingly is dead.



well, you can look if appimage version of cingg was compiled with 
those libraries


Could you possibly outline how to do it?

I looked up some of the older discussion about dvgrab on 
CinCVS/Skolelinux mailing list and the referenced manual wiki:


https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg13022.html

 21.12.2 Grabbing HDV from camcorder

   There is no perfect solution so far. One possibility is to run the
   test-mpeg2 command available with the sources of *libiec61883*. Use
   this syntax:

   |test-mpeg2 > hdv_tape.mpeg|

   and press *Play* on the camcorder. You should not run any heavy
   resources consuming task on your computer since the lack of caching
   in test-mpeg2 causes frame drops.

   New version of dvgrab seems to support HDV. Minimal example:
   Syntax:

   |dvgrab -format mpeg2 myclip|




, but I am guessing (from bug 
https://www.cinelerra-gg.org/bugtracker/view.php?id=590 ) you might 
run into troubles trying to record exactly HDV stream - because it is 
not DV video, but mpeg2. There is code in DVB input module for dealing 
with this, but it probably must be wired to DV /firewire module, or 
something like this should be used in ffmpeg.C for pre-decoding 
compressed buffer:

Terje,
I can say with 100% certainty that here we have never tested FIREWIRE

a few of the .C programs which conceivably means that it can be built 
with the capability. However, I guess I do not understand why you 
would want this option since you stated:
   "The reason is my 10 years old FireWire based DV/HDV recorder

Sony FX7/HDV tape Playback/i.LINK -> Datavideo DN-300 DV/HDV HDD
recorder -> FireWire/Linux WS

Now when the M2T and DV recorder in the middle is dead, I have to 
transfer the files directly from the camcorder/player to the Linux WS.

Recently I successfully was able to do:  "Transfer VHS/DVD Media or 
Video8/Hi8 Tapes into CINELERRA-GG" though.


I forgot to comment the latter. In my case the DN-300 recorder above 
also had a built-in ADC and ecorded the digitized Hi8 S-video as SD DV 
files.
And then DV files burned to Blu-ray data discs as backup. Thereafter 
making mpeg2 Blu-ray Video discs.


Regarding digitizing the rest of 30 analog S-video tapes, I'll also will 
try out (when arrived) an ADC adapter+ HDMI-USB3 capture card qualities.

[Cin] Capturing DV/HDV via Firewire

2023-02-19 Thread Terje J. Hanssen via Cin
IEE 1394 / FireWire (Apple) / i.LINK (Sony) has been a standard 
connection to transfer native DV and HDV video files to Lin/Win/Apple 
computers.


 * FireWire DV/HDV recording should still work via dvgrab, vlc,
   guvcview, OBS and ffmpeg etc., or directly via some NLE systems.
 * The basic dvgrab tool is still valid on Linux and was mentioned in
   the Cin-CV wiki sect. 19.2
