• Device selection options:

  This box regroups the hardware source dv settings. You shouldn't have to change these settings, unless using more than one dv sources.
  
  
  • Use stdin as dv input
    If enabled, DVGrabGUI will try to capture a dv stream from the standard input. Feature NOT tested! Note that when enabled, the four others settings are not available.
  
  
  • Port
    Set the firewire "port" used to search dv device. You should leave it at "-1" to leave DVGrabGUI auto selects it.
  • Node
    Set the firewire "node" used by the dv device. You should leave it at "-1" to leave DVGrabGUI auto selects it.
  • Channel
    Set the firewire "channel" over witch the dv connection will be established. By default, it is over the "63" one. You should leave it at "-1" to leave DVGrabGUI auto selects it.
  • GUID
    Set the GUID (device identifier) of the firewire device to use as dv source. If set to "0" ("Ox0000000000000000"), DVGrabGUI will try to auto detect a dv source. You can also chose one of the detected devices – DVGrabGUI tries to give you the names of these devices… without any warranty! Or you can enter yourself an hexadecimal GUID value (of type "Ox00af56980000ce76" – other-formatted values will fall back to default "zero" value!).

• Capture options:

  This box regroups various internal settings.
  
  
  • Disable use of AV/C
    Do not use the abilities of controlling the camera from the PC (not very useful for now).
  • Disable stop command when halting capture
    Don't send stop command when halting dv recording. Only useful when recording from tapes…
  • Number of frames to keep in RAM
    The number of dv frames to cache in memory (1 frame = 144Ko).
  • Store VAUX data
    Store the Video AUXiliary data of dv frames in an HTML file (geek stuff – be careful, very big files very quickly!).

• Jpeg Options:

  This box regroups the jpeg recording settings, only available when the "Jpeg" file format has been chosen.
  
  
  • Deinterlace dv frames
    If enabled, the frames will be roughly deinterlaced before saved as Jpeg files.
  • Allow overwriting jpeg files
    If enabled, DVGrabGUI will overwrite the previously recorded jpeg files; if not, it will add them (using higher frame numbers in the file names…).
  • Quality
    The Jpeg compression quality!
  • Width
    The width of the saved images: DVGrabGUI will down/up-scale the dv frames as needed (if "width" and following "height" don't give the correct aspect ratio, it is "width" which will be modified!).
  • Height
    The height of the saved images: DVGrabGUI will down/up-scale the dv frames as needed ("height" is never modified, see above).
