= Capturing Digital Video over FireWire = == Software Requirements == You will need dvgrab (and kino) to capture DV footage. {{{ sudo apt-get install dvgrab kino }}} When you run 12.04, make sure to create a symlink called 'raw1394' that links to 'fw0' because dvgrab and kino will not be able to capture if not done. {{{ sudo ln /dev/fw0 /dev/raw1394 }}} You might as well have to give yourself permission to read in the source if this did not do the trick. {{{ sudo chmod 664 /dev/raw1394 }}} == Using dvgrab to capture Digital Video == After you have installed dvgrab you should be able to capture by using the commandline. Simply go to your terminal and type in {{{dvgrab}}}, and ther you it, it is capturing in the current folder. If you want to specify the output, have a look at the [[../dvgrab|dvgrab subpage]]
