Hi Holz,

Just checking through my bookmarks, I used the following as a
troubleshooter for my 1394 JVC.
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2792

There are a number of solutions in there, TBH, I cannot remember which
one worked. Bloody memory!

The software you use is down to choice. Try them and see.

For me, Kino and avidemux where OK

IIRC, I simply pulled in the ubuntustudio-video metapackage which
worked a treat for Kino.

Good luck.

"Kino" should work with 1394.

Kino to import and edit, Avidemux to turn it into an mpeg2 DVD video file
and Varsha 0.75 DVD Author to create and burn the DVD structure.

Ping me here if you have trouble with the 1394 and Kino.

While we are on the subject my oldish digital camera only has USB. Can I
extract its video under Linux??

Uh good question. Kino as far as I know only does 1394. OTOH Cinelerra
does USB if I recall correctly.

I haven't tried it but have a look and let me know what you think.

is no .deb package.

No joy. Running configure gives the following:

../configure: 11: arch: not found
../configure: 24: arch: not found
[: 24: i686: unexpected operator
[: 31: ==: unexpected operator
../configure: 47: Syntax error: Bad fd number

Cheers

No worries.

You could also try downloading the rpm of the other fork and
converting it with alien.

$ man alien
for more information

There is a deb package but you have to add the repository to your apt-get
directory or you'll get a bunch of broken dependency error messages.

That's the one you have to use. The source wont get past ./configure.
You need to add the repository

Oh and also apt-get dvgrab. It's a command line utility that grabs dv from
a 1394 source. It has a switch for USB.
I used it last night and it worked perfectly on 1394 but I don't have a
camera that has a USB tape stream.

Check out the dvgrab website for the latest version, news and other software:
