That is correct, Kino only understands DV. > Is there any way I can do this with Ubuntu Linux? There are three ways: 1) mpg1394grab, which is distributed as a single file of C source code. 2) test-mpeg2, which is found in the _source_ package for libiec61883 (available in Ubuntu's repositories) 3) A patched version of dvgrab. This is apparently the most robust alternative, as it does proper buffering. I only know 1 and 2. I still use mpg1394grab, as it was the only tool that I knew of when I purchased my HDV camera two years ago. As far as I can tell, a program to grab HDV is not provided in any of the binary packages for the common Linux distributions. You have to patch and compile, or at least use some third party package. -- Herman Robak _______________________________________________ Cinelerra mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra
