;-) lol  !!  Ok, this is confusing, I agree!! ;-)))))

Easiest at the moment is:
Stay in one and the same directory, the src directory, i.e. the directory 
where you call ./configure; make; etc...

>From there you should see
source files: ./libpiave/*.cc
resources:    ./resources/piave_logo_2.png
samples:      ../samples/4x3-PAL.dv          [ NOT IN CVS!]
              ../samples/ping-with-alpha.png

and to start the binary:    ./piave/piave -s


piave reads raw DV as produced by dvgrab. You can get a 50 frame sample here:

Well, I did not think for a minute about how to "install" piave, i.e. I will 
have to care about some real installation directories, so that piave can find 
it's resources, and stuff ;-)))) 
I did not think that I would have to worry about such things that soon ;-) 
very good!
