Revision as of 17:44, 5 September 2014
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.
Contents
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.
I'm pretty sure that I want to try VLC as the software to open the video camera device and record. But I'm not sure how to pick the right container, video codec, and audio codec.
Another option might be handbrake, but that isn't installed yet on the one firewire enabled server.
Maybe Kino is worth another shot. It is now at version 1.3.4 on the server.
Also dvgrab looks promising (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio/PackageList).
dvgrab

Result has garbled audio.

Result has garbled audio.
Tried the experiment of saving in each of these formats: dv1, dv2, avi, raw, qt, mov. Each time the audio was garbled for the first five seconds, and then absent for the rest of the sample. Still need to try jpeg, jpg, mpeg2, hdv.
mpeg2 fails even more:
rday@weasel:/rootback/home-movies$ dvgrab -f mpeg2 rom1394_0 warning: read failed: 0x0000fffff0000414 error reading config rom directory for node 0 rom1394_1 warning: read failed: 0x0000fffff0000414 error reading config rom directory for node 1 Found AV/C device with GUID 0x00008500005e42e9 Waiting for HDV... ^C"" 0.00 MiB 0 frames Capture Stopped Error: no HDV. Try again before giving up.
Same with hdv format.

Try again before giving up.
Exporting to jpg format works, but actually makes a pile of jpgs and drops the audio. So I'll count that as not working.
more time goes by
usb port?
- I think the last time I tried, I established that there is a problem with the firewire subsystem. But the video camera also has a usb port. I don't think I've tried the usb port.
- on an Ubuntu 14.04 system, hot-plugging the usb port shows nothing in /var/log/syslog or dmesg
try firewire again
- openshot is installed. does it work?
look at device connection messages
I already have one firewire device in play which is the drobo.
When I have the camcorder on and in play mode, and then connect to the firewire bus, I see this in syslog:
