 help in getting one of these programs or some other video capture
 program to work.

Some of the best programs out there for video capturing are ffmpeg and/
or mencoder (both in command line).

On the graphical side, I think VideoLAN can capture streams coming from /
dev/video0 quite easily :-?

xawtv and lavrec setup problems

2010-02-20 Thread Thomas H. George 
I want to capture video from the component output of my Canon DC410
camcorder.

I purchased KWorld DVD Maker USB2.0 (Maybe not the best choice?)

When connected to a Squeeze 64 bit system it was immediately recognized
as /dev/video0 

xawtv -hwscan produced the following outbut:

The following logs show the output of starting xawtv and lavrec:

Next I tried lavrec first setting the environmental variable
LAV_VIDEO_DEV=/dev/video0 and then entering

lavrec --format=a --input=n --audio-bitsize=0
/data/video/Ischgl/test.avi

which resulted in the following message:

For additional information I ran lsusb -s 001:007
