Page dedicated to extraction and conversion of DV tape, as used in digital camcorder.

Capture

DV tape capture requires a PC with a firewire (IEEE 1394) port.

  • Check installation:
# Check firewire hardware
lspci | grep -i firewire
# 37:09.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): LSI Corporation FW322/323 [TrueFire] 1394a Controller (rev 70)

# Check kernel modules are loaded
lsmod | grep firewire
# firewire_ohci          40960  0
# firewire_core          65536  7 firewire_ohci
# crc_itu_t              16384  1 firewire_core

# Install some tools
sudo apt install dvgrab gscanbus
# sudo apt install libraw1394-11   # optional

# Add current users to 'video' (must logout / login) to allow access to /dev/fw
sudo usermod -aG video $USER
  • Grab the DV tape
dvgrab -format=dv2 -rewind -autosplit=14400 -srt -size 0 myvideo-
# -format=dv2: recommended format. Alternative: raw (extension .dv)
# -rewing: rewing before capture
# -size 0: Do not split files based on size
# -autosplit=14400: Split file if there is a gap bigger than 4h.
# -srt: generate subtitles with recording date and time.
