| james1138 | Hello all. Is this group where I can ask questions about analog video capture and/or editing? | 20:08 |
|---|---|---|
| OvenWerks | james1138: it should be. | 20:15 |
| OvenWerks | james1138: best to ask the full question and just leave you irc client running. Not many people sitting staring at their screen :) | 20:16 |
| OvenWerks | james1138: I know a very small amount about video capture, being mostly audio oriented... but perhaps what little I do know would be helpful. | 20:17 |
| OvenWerks | james1138: it sounds like you actually have live video from some source rather than recording to the camera and editing the file(s) later. Most video SW in Linux is post processing oriented, but there are some exceptions. | 20:19 |
| studio-user424 | Hi. What is default desktop environment in Ubuntu Studio 16.04? | 21:23 |
| james1138 | I have a Dazzle DVC100 USB device. Ubuntu sees it when plugged in. I wondered what software (LIVES, OPENSHOT, etc) would work best. | 21:35 |
| krytarik | studio-user424: Xfce. | 21:41 |
| studio-user424 | Thank you krytarix. I hope I can find solution to tweak my window borders larger to enable window resizing easier. | 21:47 |
| aleb | james1138: You might need to look into separate solutions for capturing and later editing the digital capture, not necessarily the same applications. | 21:48 |
| james1138 | Okay... lets first start with Capture. Otherwise editing is a moot point. | 21:49 |
| aleb | why is it moot? | 21:49 |
| james1138 | If I cannot capture... nothing to edit. <grin> | 21:50 |
| aleb | james1138: If you figure out the capture part, try Pitivi to edit the content: http://wiki.pitivi.org/wiki/Install_with_flatpak - you can find us in #pitivi if you have questions :) | 21:51 |
| studio-user424 | james1138: Have you tried vlc? | 21:52 |
| james1138 | vlc for capture? | 21:53 |
| studio-user424 | james1138: Yes. I think it's doable. | 21:54 |
| OvenWerks | VLC and lives both capture | 21:57 |
| studio-user424 | james1138: via graphical user interface(vlc)-> Media-> Open capture device...should be there. | 21:59 |
| OvenWerks | Snowmix is another, that is meant for live video switching | 21:59 |
| james1138 | I have LIVES installed now. I shall try that. Is there any ubuntu video capture software? | 22:01 |
| OvenWerks | if you mean screen capture vokoscreen works for me. | 22:04 |
| studio-user424 | james1138: I'm not familiar with LIVES but VLC can indeed capture. | 22:07 |
| OvenWerks | dvgrab? | 22:09 |
| OvenWerks | dvswitch? (uses dvgrab) http://dvswitch.alioth.debian.org/wiki/ | 22:11 |
| james1138 | Sorry. Not screen capture. Basically, I want to convert VHS tape to MP4. The windows software that came with Dazzle does not like Wine. I was looking for GUI-based software that I can capture. | 22:20 |
| james1138 | Already have dvgrab installed. | 22:22 |
| OvenWerks | So you have a video capture card card? If so, I think any of the webcam things like cheese should be able to at least show a video device being there. | 22:22 |
| OvenWerks | dvgrab is for firewire acpture if you have that | 22:22 |
| OvenWerks | *capture | 22:22 |
| OvenWerks | Dvgrab (in the man page says it can also deal with USB class cameras (V4L stuff) But really if VLC sees it or LiVes sees it... you already have a solution. | 22:26 |
| james1138 | Dazzle is USB video capture - https://kb.speeddemosarchive.com/Dazzle_DVC100 | 22:28 |
| james1138 | Too bad Kino does not do Analog | 22:32 |
| OvenWerks | cool, That sounds like it should just work. | 22:34 |
| james1138 | Just upgraded VLC to version 3 | 22:36 |
| james1138 | Somewhere... I read that Cheese was also used at times for video capture. | 22:37 |
| OvenWerks | Once you have it captured to a file there are lots of video editors around, from blender to openshot | 22:37 |
| james1138 | Didn't the Easycap usb video capture device have any software? | 22:41 |
| OvenWerks | when your dvc100 is plugged in there should be a file called /dev/video0 or something video1 or whatever. | 22:43 |
| OvenWerks | if that is there then any of the video recorders should be able to use it. | 22:43 |
| james1138 | Okay... was there drivers for Em28xx devices?? | 22:44 |
| studio-user424 | james1138: dude seriously.via graphical user interface(vlc)-> Media-> Open capture device...should be there.check it out. | 22:47 |
| OvenWerks | james1138: maybe try here: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2245249 | 22:49 |
| OvenWerks | james go down to post 8 | 22:49 |
| james1138 | will do... thanx | 22:49 |
