I'm having difficulty importing digital video from a Canon Elura 40MC digital video camcorder NTSC.
It faithfully recorded about 10 60-minute DVM cassettes of travel-related footage, but I haven't been able to get the video into a computer to do any editing or sharing.
options tried
kino
Doesn't recognize the camera when connected by firewire.
much time goes by since last attempt
Starting this project again from scratch.
- Located the firewire cable that has a plug that fits into the Elura.
- Located the batteries and charger for the Elura.
- Located the box of untransfered video.
While I wait for the batteries to charge, I can form a strategy. This attempt will be different, because I think I actually had some success at one point but didn't document it.
There is a directory with a few files in it. The first three tapes have been turned into 13GB AVI files. Each is about 1 hour long, 720x480, 30 frames per second, 32GHz sample rate audio.
Playing these files with VLC generates lots of loud garbled audio, but correct video. Playing with Xine, there is no audio, but the video looks right.
Also in the directory are some files generated by iMovie that are DV instead of AVI. They have good video and audio that you can understand, but still there are lots of sound artifacts.
