for the uni, i will need to save some video sequences from a DV-camera to the computer (creating files or even a vcd)
- how do i do this?
(i have firewire and plan to connect it this way - what software is needed? i'm a total newbie in this - anyone having experience in this stuff can maybe post a small overview? thanx in advance)
- what format is the best in quality/compression for a as-much-as-possibe-lossless quality?
thanx in advance

You're gonna need a lot of hard drive space...
dvgrab is the tool I use to get the video from the camera to the hard drive. It's about 1gig for 4 minutes...
After that you'll have a Type II AVI (I think that's the one you want) and you can fiddle with it however you want from there.
Then you use something like transcode or mencoder to convert it to some lossy format.

yes, thanx, but it is a little bit confusing inside (or outdated), because of the remark about kino and the somehow really complicated introduction (finally i understood)

oh .... that's a little surprise, but not a problem, because i have only short pieces to transfer and cut together and they are maximum 10min (with kino? also found reference about cinelerra - anyone working with it?)

i dont know nothing about type II avi, but yes, a file on the hdd

ok, thanx a lot for the details - i will check transcode and kino and maybe cinelerra
