I have been trying to get dvgrab to work with my setup and I can&#39;t seem to get it to grab the video from my camera over firewire. It starts the camera says it is grabbing video, but never writes a file with the video to my hard disk. Running dvgrab as a normal user occaisionally gives me a segmentation fault. Even running it as root does not create an output file. <br>
<br>A typical run:<br>orca:/home/mark/Movies/Savage/clips# dvgrab -f dv2 foo-<br>Found AV/C device with GUID 0x0800460102561c47<br>Waiting for DV...<br><br>&quot;&quot;: damaged frame near: timecode ??:??:??.?? date ????.??.?? ??:??:??<br>
This means that there were missing or invalid FireWire packets.<br><br>......quite a few of these as the camera starts and comes up to speed. Once the camera is up to speed, they stop. I assume (perhaps incorrectly?) that these are just due to the camera motor coming up to speed. After running for a minute and no error messages I hit ctrl-C and get this:<br>
<br>^C&quot;&quot;:     0.00 MiB 0 frames timecode 00:00:00.00 date 2010.12.05 09:10:52<br>Capture Stopped<br>Warning: 151 damaged frames.<br><br>I am running Debian testing amd64.<br><br>Google gave me this tip: <a href="http://mylinuxramblings.wordpress.com/2010/01/02/grabbing-dv-from-a-video-camera-using-dvgrab-kdenlive/">http://mylinuxramblings.wordpress.com/2010/01/02/grabbing-dv-from-a-video-camera-using-dvgrab-kdenlive/</a> and followed those simple instructions. Still noo ouput file. Is the addition of the file raw1394.rules with the contents (<strong>KERNEL==”raw1394″, GROUP=”video”</strong>) to /etc/udev/rules.d necessary?<br>
<br>I am trying to use Lives to edit the videos, but I can&#39;t even get past the command line usage of dvgrab!<br><br>Thanks!<br><br>Mark<br>
