'dvg' is quite simple DV capture application for BeOS 5 Pro/Personal Edition or higher. I hope that it works both NTSC and PAL DV devices.
Requirements
Here is example setups for three situations.
don't use video/audio preview
Celeron 233 MHz or higher
64 MB RAM or more
E-IDE ATA/33 5200 rpm HDD or more
use video preview only
Celeron 366 MHz or higher
64 MB RAM or more
bitmap overlay supported video card (3D Rage Pro Turbo or G200/400)
E-IDE ATA/33 5200 rpm HDD or more
use video and audio preview
Pentium III 450 MHz or higher
64 MB RAM or more
bitmap overlay supported video card (3D Rage Pro Turbo or G200/400)
E-IDE ATA/33 5200 rpm HDD or more
In all case, you need a 1394 OHCI I/F card which is supported under BeOS. And of course, BeOS 5 Pro/Personal Edition or higher, and DV devices :-)
Here is my setup for develop this software:
Celeron 366 MHz single/dual
ABIT BP-6
64 MB PC100 RAM
E-IDE ATA/33 5200 rpm 5.1 GB HDD
ATI Xpert@Play 98 (3D Rage Pro Turbo)
E-IDE ATA/33 5200 rpm 5.1 GB HDD
ADS Pyro (TI and TI)
SONY DCR-PC1, SONY DVMC-DA1/V
How to install ?
It's quite simple, just expand the archive and put 'dvg' as you like. That's all :-)
How to use ?
It's also quite easy, you can do all control in dvg main window.
you can access DV device transport control by buttons in transport control section (if machine control is available for the connected DV device)
you can control capture control by buttons in capture control section
you can open DV clip list by triangle button on left-bottom corner of main control view
