<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Hi,<br>
<br>
I'm running kdenlive 0.5svn from 17-03 on Kubuntu Edgy 6.10. I have the
necessary libraries libraw1394 and libavc1394 installed. Before this
attempt I captured with my windows video software (some time ago) and
lately with dvgrab. So my hardware and installation are correct.<br>
<br>
Two questions:<br>
1. - How do I capture.<br>
2. - Where are the captured files stored.<br>
<br>
1. - How do I capture.<br>
I changed the setting in /etc/udev/rules.d/40-permissions.rules<br>
from<br>
KERNEL=="raw1394", GROUP="disk" <br>
to <br>
KERNEL=="raw1394", GROUP="video"<br>
to make it possible to capture video as normal user instead of only as
root. (I do not have firewire disks, so no security risk for me).<br>
(I copied that from Dan Dennedy's KINO website. Maybe I should add that
to the Kdenlive FAQ).<br>
<br>
I have access to my (SONY) camcorder and Fast Forward, Fast Backward,
Play and so on work perfectly. However, when I click RECORD nothing
happens. The video continues playing and after 6 minutes it jumps to a
interactive pause mode asking me if I want to process my captured video
or to continue capturing. Nothing is stored on my disk however. I (try
to) capture in DV2.<br>
When switching to "root-mode" using "kdesu kdenlive" I see no change.
Everything seems to work, but no *.avi or *.dv files are saved.<br>
This is also "supported" by the fact that I do not see any disk
activity: nothing to hear and no flickering disk leds.<br>
Is it something I do wrong or is it something not functioning yet in
Kdenlive.<br>
<br>
Just to confirm: When I "dvgrab" the video manually (also as normal
user, so no root) I do get the video. I used the command: "dvgrab
--autosplit --timestamp --size 1998 2007-feb-march-" (but that had
worked before too).<br>
<br>
<br>
2.- Where are the captured files stored.<br>
Are they stored in the "Folder for temporary files" or ...?<br>
After the (assumed) capture i did a "sudo updatedb; locate -i .avi |
more" (also tried "locate -i .dv | more") to check where they were
located, but as point 1 already
explains: no video file.<br>
Nevertheless the question: where are they stored or where are the
intermediate video files stored?<br>
<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>
Harry<br>
