installing dvgrab 3.1 from tar.gz.

Post by mercier »

installed kdenlive 0.5 and grub 3.0.1 from repos.

however, this version of dvgrab has a bug that prevents capturing dv video from camera, so i downloaded dvgrab 3.1 from kdenlive site and followed instructions in the "install" file.
it gives me some errors of diferent files missing, so i install those one by one with synaptic, and "./configure" is done, so is "make", but...

...i get stuck at "make install"

Code: Select all

make[1]: Entering directory `/home/mercier/Downloads/DVgrab3.1/dvgrab-3.1'
/bin/bash ./mkinstalldirs /usr/local/bin
  /usr/bin/install -c dvgrab /usr/local/bin/dvgrab
/usr/bin/install: cannot create regular file `/usr/local/bin/dvgrab': Permission denied
make[1]: *** [install-binPROGRAMS] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/mercier/Downloads/DVgrab3.1/dvgrab-3.1'
make: *** [install-am] Error 2
mercier@mercier-desktop:~/Downloads/DVgrab3.1/dvgrab-3.1$ 
anyone know what coul'd be the problem, and how to continue form here?

thanx in advance.

ok, here goes:

dovnload dvgrab 3.1 from: http://www.kinodv.org/article/static/1

open file, and look for "install" file. open it with text editor and follow instructions in it.

when you get to "make install" you have to type "sudo make install".

when it's done, plug in and switch on your camera and start kdenlive 0.5

under "capture monitor " tab will be red field with text mentioning file dev/raw1394 (either not present or not having permissions).

in terminal type "sudo nautilus", and navigate to folder /dev and search for file raw1394. Right click on it -> properties-> and under permissions give permissions to "other" to read and write.

that should do it.

the file raw1394 is made by your system upon pluging the camera in, so if it's not there, switch on your camera on.

that should work.

hope this helps -this is my first ever tutorial, so forgive if it's not clear enough. ;)

hope this will help you.

Thanks! Got closer, but now I'm seeing an error msg like this at the capture screen:
Too many output file names.
Usage: dvgrab [options] [file] [-]
Try dvgrab --help for more information
pipe:: I/O error occured
Usually that means that input file is truncated and/or corrupted.

Can't seem to get past this. Not sure if my 1394 card is really compatible, although it does show up in the "device manager" hardware list. Need to look for the dvgrab help for clues... Feel like scooby doo...
