Christiaan KrasSo so weird! Using #dvgrab to capture footage from old DV video tapes and all seems to be going well. But using the dv2 format I get clips where audio is sped up with several clips. So I tried dv1, seemed fine, but #FinalCutPro doesn't take these files. Neither does the mov format. So I tried the raw format and that worked fine. But now there's one clip where audio is pitched down by more than 2 steps. So weird!
Hmm that's surprising. Used #dvgrab to capture some footage from DV Tapes. There are several formats to choose from. One of them is QuickTime mov. You would've thought #Apple could handle that. But apparently the codec DV/DVCPRO is unsupported by both QuickTime and #FinalCutPro. #Compressor can't handle it either.
The raw format is being handled just fine.
This is not the first time I find Apple stuff to have zero support for some codecs. Yet #HandBrake and #ShutterEncoder do.

I'm using #Ubuntu #Linux on an old #iMac with #dvgrab to download the exact copies of all my #MiniDV tapes in #DV format.
But I have to say... This thing is a monster.
Can anyone recommend a laptop with #Firewire 800 that also runs Linux well?
Nice! I was able to use #dvgrab with my #FireWire card and #DV #camera without any configuration on #Fedora #Linux. I won't be sticking to it because of the short term support, but happy to know that part of my old PC will work just fine under Linux!
Thinking about going with #AlmaLinux instead because of the longer support cycle. That or #ZorinOS.
BigDcapturing #miniDV tapes is a pain in the ass but I finally got it.
live booted #debian 12 on our old #macbookpro 2010 that has #firewire, currently running #dvgrab and it looks like it's going well
Smol Bean [OLD] (moved to https://evil.social/@shrimple)#dvgrab works for hours, then fails to see any camera even while in the middle of capturing. If it is a bug I hope it gets fixed, if it isn't then I'm at a loss for words on what it could be.
