Dvgrab receives the audio and video data from a digital camcorder via the ieee1394 interface and stores into an AVI file. It features autosplit of long video sequences into several files, and supports saving the data as raw frames, AVI type 1 and AVI type 2.

To use the program, turn on the camera, press play, and run the command in a terminal:

dvgrab --frames 200 myfilm-

If you have properly configured your kernel and your ieee1394 device drivers, you should end up with about 30 MByte of DV image data nicely packed in a file myfilm-001.avi (digits and extension automatically appended), which can be displayed with the Microsoft Media Player or a similar program (remember to install the required DV codecs, software
should be included with your hardware).

Read the man page for more documentation or 'dvgrab --help'. Please submit bug reports, fixes, or suggestions to http://bugzilla.schirmacher.de/ or access the discussion forum
at http://kino.schirmacher.de/. Be sure to read the NEWS file for very helpful release notes.

What's New in This Release:
riff.cc, riff.h, avi.cc, avi.h, endian_types.h (added): make RIFF and AVI classes endian and architecture safe (Daniel Kobras).
