IEE 1394 / FireWire (Apple) / i.LINK (Sony) has been a standard connection to transfer native DV and HDV video files to Lin/Win/Apple computers. * FireWire DV/HDV recording should still work via dvgrab, vlc, guvcview, OBS and ffmpeg etc., or directly via some NLE systems. * The basic dvgrab tool is still valid on Linux and was mentioned in the Cin-CV wiki sect. 19.2 * http://cinelerra-cv.wikidot.com/cincv-manual-en:capturing-media#5 * ffmpeg enabled FireWire DV/HDV input device using libiec61883 (Streamcopy) seems also interesting. On my Leap 15.4 or Tumbleweed, ffmpeg-5 is seemingly not compiled with --enable-libiec61883. Is possibly ffmpeg available with enabled libiec61883 via Cin-GG? http://www.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-devices.html#iec61883 http://underpop.online.fr/f/ffmpeg/help/iec61883.htm.gz I had a look into the Cin-GG manual chpt 13 "Capturing and Recording Media", but could not see Firewire media transfer was mentioned. However, in the Appendice section B.2 Configuration Features, Optional Packages is found: --with-firewire use firewire (auto) --with-dv use dv (auto) Does this mean that Firewire/dv capture already is supported or optional can be configured?
