The obvious next step is to view realtime on your screen what the camera sees. My biggest problem here was finding the right software, I started out with Coriander but quickly realized that my camera was not IIDC v1.04 compliant. (Actually most of the consumer grade cameras are not compliant with this specifications.) For us mortal people Kino will do just fine.
In order to get kino to work your going to need libavc
tar -vzxf libavc1394-0.4.1.tar.gz cd libavc1394-0.4.1 ./configure make checkinstall |
Getting Kino to work is a bit more difficult difficult than untarring it and running make. When at first I didn't succeed in getting it to work, a friend provided me with a prebuild version of it that he had compiled from the CVS tree.
If you have read through this document so far you probably already installed all the tools you need, libdv-0.98 , libdv-devel-0.98, libraw1394-0.9.0, libavc1394-0.4.1 and libxml2-devel , should already be on your system , so now we can continue with checking out the code from the cvs repository.
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.kino.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/kino login cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.kino.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/kino co kino cd kino ./autogen.sh make checkinstall |
Now make sure your camera is on, connected to your pc, and start kino. On the right you have some tabs, Edit, Capture, ... wait that's the one we need. If followed every step we took you should now be ready to go and experiment with Kino.
