The equipment:*Panasonic MiniDV camcorder with 1394 (firewire) port*IEEE 1394 (firewire) card for PC*IEEE 1394 cable*PC There are several fully professional "Non-Linear Video Editing" applications in the free software realm. I've only briefly toyed with over 68 GB of free space and 756MB of RAM (On my Debian system running the KDE desktop, them so I can get this information through the KDE Info Center)'t tell you from personal experience how easy it might be to do a quick project. But Blender, OpenShot and KDENLiVE are amazing free software applications.

dvgrab receives audio and video data from a digital camcorder via an=== Transcoding ===IEEE1394 (widely known as FireWire) link and stores them into one ofseveral file formats. It features autosplit of long video sequences,and supports saving the data as raw frames, AVI type 1, AVI type 2,Quicktime DV, or a series of JPEG stillshttp://programmer-art.org/projects/arista-transcoder

gscanbus is If you only want a little bus scanning5-minute clip, testing and topology visualizingtool for the Linux IEEE1394 subsystem, with some AV/C support,especially for controlling Camcorders and VCRs. It is intended as afirst thing to do would probablydebugging tool for IEEE1394 development, but can also be used tothrow away the other 55 minutes of video. That should make allsimply check your IEEE1394 setup on Linuxfiles load much faster. (see [http://gscanbus.berlios.de/])

libdc1394 is a library that is intended to provide a high levelThis can also be done with ffmpeg:<source lang="bash">$ ffmpeg -acodec copy -vcodec copy -itsoffset -00:10:09.5 -i infile -ss 00:10:09.5 -t 00:05:00 outfileprogramming interface for application developers who wish to control</source>IEEE 1394 based cameras Note that conform to the 1394"-based Digital Cameraitsoffset" option must be specified to make sure thatSpecification (found at [http:A//www.1394ta.org/]). This package contains shared librariesV timestamps synchronize, and that its value must be the negative ofthe "-ss" argument.

Note that, for BOTH mencoder and ffmpeg, the order of command-lineoptions and arguments is not just significant, it'''libraw1394''' library for direct access to IEEE 1394 bus (aka FireWire)s HIGHLY significant.

libraw1394 is To transcode the only supported interface video, specify the output codecs as the "vcodec" and"acodec" sub-options to the kernel side raw1394libavcodec option (-lavcopts):<source lang="bash">$ mencoder -ovc lavc -oac lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:acodec=ac3 infile -o outfile</source>Here, "lavc" means to use one of the Linux IEEE-1394 subsystemlibavcodec codecs, which provides direct access specified bythe "vcodec" and "acodec" suboptions to the"-lavcopts" option (whichconnected 1394 buses to user spacespecifies options for libavcodec). Through libraw1394/raw1394mencoder has about a bazillion^2command line options, sub options, sub sub options,and can get quiteapplications confusing. ffmpeg can directly send to also transcode audio and receive video streams from other nodes withoutonerequiring a kernel driver for the protocol in questioncodec to another.

'''libavc1394''' control IEEE1394 audioIf you want to change the framerate of the video, you can usesomething like this:<source lang="bash">$ mencoder -ofps 25 -oac copy -ovc copy -o outfile infile</video devicessource>Note that, whenever you use "copy" as the codec, mplayer will copy thecorresponding stream to the output unmodified. That means it will ignoreany filters set up to modify the copied stream. This is a BIG gotcha.

libavc1394 is a programming interface for the 1394 Trade Association AVFor example:<source lang="bash">$ mencoder -oac copy -ovc copy -af volume=10 -o outfile infile</Csource>(Audio/Video Control) Digital Interface Command Set. It allows WILL NOT DO what you toremote control camcorders and similar devices connected to your computerprobably want, because with "-oac copy" thevia an IEEE1394 "volume" audio filters (aka Firewirespecified with "-af") link. This package includes will be ignored, and the libraries needed to run executables usinglibavc1394audio in outfile will be at the SAME volume as the audio in infile.
