Video Capture, Digitize and Editing Advise

I've got bunch of old VCR tapes that I want to digitize and burn to DVD's, but have no idea what software is available in Salix repos (or maybe I need to build) for this. For hardware, I just purchased a Monoprice USB Video & Audio Grabber (
http://www.monoprice.com/products/produ ... 1&format=2). It is apparently a re-branded Geniatech EZ Grabber. I think I modprobed for the correct driver, uvcvideo.
Here's the results of dmesg after plugging the device in and modprobing:
Code: Select all
root[serial]# dmesg | tail
usb 1-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 4
usb 1-1: New USB device found, idVendor=0572, idProduct=262a
usb 1-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=16, Product=32, SerialNumber=64
usb 1-1: Product: OTG-2
usb 1-1: Manufacturer: Geniatech
usb 1-1: SerialNumber: 2007040920040908
usb 1-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
Linux video capture interface: v2.00
usbcore: registered new interface driver uvcvideo
USB Video Class driver (v0.1.0)
root[serial]#
I believe that I just need the right software now.
Thanks
Rich

As far as I can understand you, you are looking for a video capturing software.
uvcvideo should not be a problem at all.
You can try the app Cheese as the first step. It is for making snapshots with webcams, but should then also work with your usb device.
Usage of xawtv is also a good starting point. It is thought for watching TV.

Here is some short tutorial with good links in it that I found with google:

Hi laprjns.
I have just bougth a video grabber with the same ID 0572:262a under the name "TV-58" from deltaco. But I can't get it to recognize the device as a "USB Video Class driver" uvcvideo. The only thing that I get in my dmesg is this:
usb 1-3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5.
How did you get your system to recognize the video grabber? Did you build the uvcvideo library or did it run out of the box?
I am running ubuntu 10.10 with the kernel version 2.6.35-30
Look forward to you reply.
