Re: [CinCVS] Trying to record from MiniDV camera.
If Cinelerra freezes on you, you can go to a root-level terminal window, type ps -aux | more and keep hitting enter until you see the Cinelerra process listed. Take note of its PID (process ID number), then hit enter some more until more finishes and you get back to the # prompt. Then type kill And hit enter, where is the PID of the Cinelerra process. This will terminate Cinelerra immediately, without your having to shut down your system. Better to type: ps aux | grep cinelerra and save your eyeballs. Or try pkill cinelerra if you have pkill. Also, if a plain kill doesn't free things up, try kill -9 or pkill -9 cinelerra. -- Geoff Kuenning [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.cs.hmc.edu/~geoff/ One could not be a successful scientist without realizing that, in contrast to the popular conception supported by newspapers and mothers of scientists, a goodly number of scientists are not only narrow-minded and dull, but also just stupid. -- James Watson ___ Cinelerra mailing list Cinelerra@skolelinux.no https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra

[CinCVS] Trying to record from MiniDV camera.
Hello People, I am running cinelerra on Ubuntu Linux with a Core 2 Duo processor and 2 Gigabytes of memory. I have it installed and was able to play with some video files (.avi) from my still camera the other day. Now I need to load some Mini DV tapes for editing so today I bought a JVC GR-D750U camera and a Firewire PCI card. Unfortunately when I try to record from the camera there seems to be no connection although all the wires are connected. When I choose File--Record, I get the Cinelerra Recording box, but then when I click on the red button the window freezes and nothing gets recorded. The camera is playing the tape, but nothing comes through and I can't stop the recording in Cinelerra...It won't close the window while it is recording and it's not recording anything. So far the only way I can close cinelerra is to log out, or shut down the system. The camera manual says that it won't download the date and time info to the computer anyway. Should I take the camera back? -- Regards, Fred Williams ___ Cinelerra mailing list Cinelerra@skolelinux.no https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra

Please use Kino for recording. Recording is broken in Cinelerra. bye andraz On Mon, 2007-03-05 at 18:50 -0500, Fred Williams wrote: Hello People, I am running cinelerra on Ubuntu Linux with a Core 2 Duo processor and 2 Gigabytes of memory.

RE: [CinCVS] Trying to record from MiniDV camera.
Fred, I've never tried to use Cinelerra for recording, only editing. I used dvgrab to get clips from a DV tape in a Canon Optura camera. This camera also connects to the computer via firewire, and dvgrab can start and stop the camera through the bidirectional firewire interface. If Cinelerra freezes on you, you can go to a root-level terminal window, type ps -aux | more and keep hitting enter until you see the Cinelerra process listed. Take note of its PID (process ID number), then hit enter some more until more finishes and you get back to the # prompt. Then type kill And hit enter, where is the PID of the Cinelerra process. This will terminate Cinelerra immediately, without your having to shut down your system.

Only that i am seriously thinking of disabling record menu entry.. OK. I'm tempted to say, Oh yeah, that'll fix it! but I know how these things are and I do not wish to tarnish the gift that Cinelerra has been. I will learn to use Kino, or dvgrab, or both,... whatever it takes, I am now just bothered by the announcement in the camera manual that the date and time will not be transferred to the computer. This is not a bug, they planned it that way. Is there another camera that would do it. I can rent a Sony PD-150 to shoot, but I don't want to rent one of those again to play back the tapes. Thanks for the outpouring of assistance. This is a good group and the response has been beyond my expectations. I'll take some time to experiment with kino and dvgrab and if I have problems you'll be the first to know. -- Regards, Fred Williams ___ Cinelerra mailing list Cinelerra@skolelinux.no https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra
