Still getting the same error.Īny operating system btw, but I also wasn´t able to find some windows 7 (win10 woun´t run on the Firewire machine) programms for the job. I found and tryed many things accociated with that libary in the internet, but non worked. Some more time later, I found and installed libraw1394 but: error: missing libavc1394-devel …Īnd im not able to find that anywere. I was able to find another source but: error: missing libraw1394 …

Or better: sudo apt-get install dvgrab kinoīouth of them are unavailable.
Took some time and I needet to whipe the drive (formating didnt work) to be able to install Linux (err: unable to create swap partition). I tryed to install Ubuntu 16.04 LTS on an very old computer with a four pin firewire port. We two in total got about 50 miniDV tapes and probably a dozend we did´n found jet. I have a very old Sony DCR-HC17E and a Parasonic DV-GS14 from my Girlfriend. camcorder Firewire IEEE 1394 MiniDV Post navigation This option makes it show the capture status during capture, updated for each frame.

Update : Karl suggested to add the -showstatus command-line option, which sounds like a good idea. Please leave a message if it was in any way helpful. These parameters make sure the input is split automatically into separate files (starting with “Florida-“) if a discontinuity in the timecode is detected, the tool includes the timestamps from the timecode in the filenames, it creates files of unlimited size (otherwise it would split output in 1 GB chunks), and it will rewind the tape prior to capturing it. Just for reference, this is the command-line I used: dvgrab -autosplit -timestamp -size 0 -rewind Florida. I have no clue why they failed, as the tapes seemed to contain all the required info (actual, correct timecode).

Completely non-interactive, which is a big pro in my eyes because it eliminates human error (to make sure settings are the same all the time), and it finally could capture the tapes the other tools couldn’t capture. To make a long story short, DVgrab seems to be the perfect tool for me. Apart from installing it, there was nothing to do, no device nodes to create, no permissions to be modified, etc. I resumed my search for a suitable tool, and then came across DVgrab, which runs under Linux (Ubuntu in my case). Still, there were some tapes that not even WinDV could capture… 🙂 Turned out that the tool still works under Windows 10, which I found pretty amazing, and that it could capture some tapes I couldn’t capture using iMovie. I quickly came across a tool called WinDV which I had actually used 10 years ago already. I would write a large number of very small files to the Mac, instead of relatively few large ones that I expected according to the source material. For some tapes, iMovie would simply report “No data from device”, even though the tapes played well on the camcorder. Well, that was indeed pretty straight-forward, apart from that I had strange issues with some tapes. It still has a Firewire (IEEE 1394) port, and I quickly found out on the Internet that I should be able to grab video from the camera using iMovie. My first try was to do it on my (somewhat elderly) MacBook Pro. I have about 40 tapes left which I wanted to capture for “posterity”, but it turned out that it was not as easy as I thought… Until some years ago I was using a Canon MiniDV camcorder to record home videos, but since then I had switched to one using SD cards.
