Hi all,<br>
Reading up on the dvgrav(1) release noes, and it says it does
support "DV-over-USB":<br>
<br>
<blockquote><font color="#990000">2007-07-28 Dan Dennedy
<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="mailto:dan@dennedy.org"><dan@dennedy.org></a><br>
- dvframe.h: define CLAMP if not building with libdv.<br>
- dvgrab.1, dvgrab.h: change default DV file format to
raw.<br>
- dvgrab.1, v4l2reader.{h,c}, dvgrab.cc: add support for
DV-over-USB<br>
(linux uvcvideo) with new -v4l2 option.<br>
</font></blockquote>
<br>
And this was in version 3.0:<br>
<blockquote><font color="#990000">v3.0<br>
-------<br>
* Add HDV (MPEG2-TS) support (-f hdv)!<br>
* Add USB DV support (-v4l2)<br>
</font></blockquote>
<br>
Same time I saw a bug report that says it only actually worked in
dvgrab 3.2 and newer (debian bug 509118; current dvgrab release is
3.5, which is in Debian stable and newer).<br>
<br>
So, question is, which DVcameras on the market now support streaming
over USB? Looking at this post
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.kdenlive.org/forum/dv-capture-w-usb">http://www.kdenlive.org/forum/dv-capture-w-usb</a>) says:<br>
<blockquote><font color="#990000">98% of all miniDV cameras with USB
do not support DV over USB. You need to see if your camera
supports USB UVC:<br>

</font></blockquote>
<br>
However some have source said that its MPEG over USB, not DV-DIF.<br>
<br>
Anyone got any experience with this? Anyone got time to do some
research? What model would we buy now (new) for this?<br>
