To use the program, turn on the camera, press play, and run the program:

dvgrab --frames 200 myfilm-

If you have properly configured your kernel and your ieee1394 device drivers, you should end up with about 30 MByte of DV image data nicely packed in a file myfilm-001.avi (digits and extension automatically appended), which can be displayed with the Microsoft Media Player or a similar program (remember to install the required DV codecs, software should be included with your hardware).

Read the man page for more documentation or 'dvgrab --help'. Please submit bug reports, fixes, or suggestions to http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=114103&group_id=14103 or access the discussion forum at http://www.kinodv.org/ Be sure to read the NEWS file for very helpful release notes.
