From DV to DVD without leaving Linux

DV 1394: Software IEEE1394 drivers - http://www.linux1394.org/ IEEE1394 drivers are included in 2.4.x kernels, minimum 2.4.19 recommended, but expect to have to compile a more recent version yourself Next best option - PCI compressing cards based on Zoran chipset, get drivers from MJPEG/Linux project at SourceForge (https://sourceforge.net/projects/mjpeg/) Low-latency kernel Preemptible kernel patch is "official" (accepted in 2.5 kernels). Download from http://www.tech9.net/rml/linux/ Preemptible and low-latency patches should be applied after IEEE1395 kernel patches GScanBus - IEEE1394 testing and control tool (http://gscanbus.berlios.de/) DV capture tools dvgrab (http://kino.schirmacher.de/) - command-line capture Kino (http://kino.schirmacher.de/) - video editor, shares code with dvgrab (check whick one is newer) Other editors have capture capability (but note that DV is not part of Video4Linux) Fearless pills
