Using the solutions described here, you get a big raw file.
dvsplit is a simple tool to split it in several files based on the timestamps.
See the README.
And here is the tool.
TTT (tips, tricks, tools)
I was looking for simple (and cheap) solution to copy my DV tapes on my hard disk. Here is what I found :
iMovie doesn’t support the use case I am interested in, ie. just save one big .dv file. Live Capture Plus is too expensive for this purpose.
I was until now pretty happy with AVCVideoCap, until it recently decided not to capture anything anymore. After selecting an output file name, it says “File opened”, and if I try to capture, “Could not open device”, although iMovie and Vidi didn’t have any problem with the same hardware/software setup.
So I had to find another solution, and I came upon Vidi, which is now the tool I use. It can do much more than what I need, but it’s free and even provided with the source code.
