Re: [opensuse] DV Capture on opensuse10.2

Hi,
Can anyone give me pointers on how to capture DV from camcorder to linux? I tried Kino and MainActor. Kino advised that the raw1394 driver was not detected. MainActor advised that both raw1394 and DV1394 drivers could be used, but neither were not detected. Yast shows libraw1394 installed (by default). A search in Yast did not find 'raw1394' or "DV1394". What more do i need to do here?
Many thanks,
Jim Flanagna
here the french page (don't seems to be translated in english): http://fr.opensuse.org/Édition_video_avec_SUSE_Linux/Capturer_de_la_vidéo_DV_avec_dvgrab basically when capturing you need to have as many power at hand as possible to avoid frame losing usually the 1394 drivers are automatically loaded when a camcorder is connected to the 1394 card jdd -- http://www.dodin.net Cécile, esthéticienne à Montpellier http://gourmandises.orangeblog.fr/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Ah... yes, "errata" is the plural form of "erratum", in latin. In Spanish we use "errata", and the wikidictionary seems to agree: | Noun | | errata | | * Plural of erratum. | | 1. An added page in a printed work where errors which are discovered | after printing and their corrections are listed; corrigenda. So, perhaps the page is named "Errata" and a single entry "erratum"? - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

I already noticed that adding (in fact removing) some "nice" gives the same result: I can't do anything more with the computer :-) so, basically, I let my computer alone when capturing and never lose a frame :-) jdd -- http://www.dodin.net Cécile, esthéticienne à Montpellier http://gourmandises.orangeblog.fr/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Nice is not the same as IOnice ;-) You can give the process a scheduling class "Best effort" with "priority" 0...7, with 0 being the higher priority. In this case, I would try the class "Real time", because that should warranty the best I/O effort. (is it warranty or warrantie or... :-? I'm off to my Siesta ;-) ) - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

oh, I see. I didn't knowed about this one, thanks. however, this would need hard testing and I don't capture so often :-) In fact since a long time I decided than it is easier to have sevral small computers than one big for multitasking :-) it's too easy to forget the background task and, say, siwtch off a running task computer :-) and, when needed, I can let the computer alone for a while :-)) NB: a friend of mine, computer programmer, just leaves his work for an other due to hand desease, keyboard blamed. He can no more hit a keyboard... too many hours done typing. so don't do that, keep some time playing (I'm 160 hours on FFXII :-)) thanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.net Cécile, esthéticienne à Montpellier http://gourmandises.orangeblog.fr/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
