Any Linux compatible capture devices?

I'm looking to get a composite capture card for my PC running 64-bit arch, but I'm finding it rather difficult to locate any that will for-sure work.
Does anyone know of any that work with Arch (particularly with the more recent kernels)?
Thanks!

I do not know if it is still necessary, but at the time I made this file:
/etc/modprobe.d/tvcard.conf
options em28xx card=35
And here is the command line I use to record. It creates an high quality, high space wastage, easy to cut file.
( gst-launch-0.10 -t -e -v avimux name=mux ! filesink location=a.avi alsasrc device=plughw:1 ! 'audio/x-raw-int,rate=48000' ! queue ! mux. v4l2src device=/dev/video1 queue-size=16 ! 'video/x-raw-yuv,width=704,height=576' ! queue ! deinterlace mode=1 ! videorate ! 'video/x-raw-yuv,framerate=(fraction)25/1' ! ffenc_h263 bitrate=5000000 max-key-interval=1 ! mux. ) & sleep 3600s ; kill -2 $!
It records for an hour in a file file called a.avi. You can use avidemux to cut the file as needed and your favourite tool to transcode in your favourite format. gstreamer is the only program that gave me always perfectly synchronized audio.
There are some bullshit on the Internet about the audio quality. It works fine, but you have to use the rate of 48000, as you can see from the commandline.

    Are there any video capture devices available on Linux?

    If you have a tv tuner card with either an s-video or av/ composite connection, then you can use that under linux with a digital video camera (dv camera). I can help if you are interested. Hope this helps!

  • I'm looking for a capture device that is compatible with Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder. I bought elgato but it is not compatible. Anyone know?

    I'm looking for a capture device that is compatible with Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder. I bought elgato but it is not compatible. Anyone know?

    This is just a shot in the dark....
    Do you have all your devices hooked up (and on) when you launch FMLE?  For example -- your camera or digitizer?  When FMLE launches it will try to launch with the last known settings... including input devices.  If it can't find these devices (they're not hooked up and on) it can crash, although in most situations it will simply show a default screen with default settings.
    If you do have your equipment hooked up (and on) when you launch FMLE, try unplugging them and then launching FMLE so that it opens up in default configuration mode (no input devices selected; all default settings).  Then uncheck the "preview" boxes for both your input and output preview windows.  Close FMLE and then plug in your equipment (and turn it on) and relaunch FMLE.  I offer this suggestion as FMLE can sometimes act funny when the preview windows are open with certain types of input devices.  Don't worry -- you don't have to keep the preview windows off forever.  If you can get FMLE to successfully launch with the preview windows off, then you can set your settings however you like and save the profile.  Then quit and relaunch FMLE and then turn the preview windows back on and see if it works.  If it does, great.  Just be aware that making any settings changes while the preview windows are open could result in FMLE crashing.   Again -- this only happens with some capture devices, such as certain Dazzle capture boxes.
    If none of this works, you could always try to upgrade to FMLE 3.2 and see if that solves your problem.

  • Video capture device bad image/no sound

    Hi !!
    I bought this "grabby" usb dongle from terratec to record old vhs cassete on my computer, but is doesn't work on linux. (It works ok on win7, so cable-connections problems are excluded)
    On vlc I did 'open capture device', choose /dev/video0 for vid, hw:2,0 for sound(tried them all anyway), and PAL/SECAM video standard.
    Problem is I have a super crappy video image (on mplayer also), and no sound. The video is colored, I recogize it, but the pixels are huge, it's awfull.
    After some research I found that a module named em28xx is supposed to handle this device. I found some forum post here and there about the sound problem, it is addressed with a 3years old patch on em28xx-cards.c (which doesn't exist on my machine, so I couldn't apply it).
    Here is dmesg :

    Hi again !
    Thanks for you tip nomorewindows. The programs tvtime and xawtv worked out of the box concerning video !! xawtv, however, crashes everytime I try to resize the (very) small window. As for tvtime, there is no sound (output is it can't open /dev/mixer so I guess it's fixable, I'll look into it).
    I started reading the doc but I didn't found yet if it was possible to record the output with these program...
    Concerning the cables, you are right they are not special at all it is standard : there is the triple (yellow=composite video, red/white for audio) cable and a fourth one for video but with inferior quality, I didn't connect it (it's either the yellow or this one for video)

  • How to connect a video capture device to Satellite M30X 127

    I'm going around in circles trying to find a video capture device that will function with a laptop and would be grateful for advice. By way of example, I'm now looking at the 'Canopus ADVC-110', although still looking around (but not Pinnacle, who seem to have a terrible reputation for capture items).
    Problems include:
    1. Main problem is - many video capture external devices require a 'line-in' to PC for good quality audio transfer. This laptop doesn't have a line in, only the mike and headphone jacks. In addition, I've also tried a few RCA pins in the 3.5mm microphone/headphones jack and they were too small. How to solve the problem of getting audio from vcr to my PC?
    2. The ADVC-110 connects to the PC via Firewire (and S-video), but is a SIX-pin type. M30X is a FOUR-pin type. Are there adapters available?
    3. Some capture programmes seem to require huge capacity of RAM. Is a laptop going to be suitable to do the job? (I simply want to capture old vhs tapes from vcr to PC, then burn to DVD with Nero 7 or similar).
    Thanks in advance!

    Hello
    You are right! You must use external device for signal transfer to your notebook. I dont know where you have this info but I have good experiences with Pinnacle product. For data transfer I have used USB port.
    'Canopus ADVC-110 is not known to me but I dont see any reason why this should not work well. Use delivered software for video capturing and there should not be any problem.
    Only thing is that after recording the whole video material must be prepared for burning and unit need a lot of power to do this well und fast. When you buy this and want to use on right way I recommend you to expand RAM to 1GB.
    Compatible memory modules for your Satellite M30x are:
    PC2700 512MB (PA3312U-1M51)
    PC2700 1024MB (PA3313U-1M1G)

  • Capture Device Offline

    I have recently purchased an ACER Aspire 5735Z laptop and have installed Adobe Premiere Elements 3 on it.  I have also purchased a firewire express card and firewire to dv cable in order to connect my Canon MV700 Mini DV Camcorder.  When I insert my express card in the slot, my device manager tells me that my 'IEEE 1394 Host Controller' is working properly.  However, my camcorder does not appear in device manager (camcorder is powered on and switched to playback mode).  When I attempt to 'Get media from DV camcorder' within Prem Ele 3, I get the message 'Capture Device Offline'.  I have looked at the online help pages and attempted to change capture settings but it doesn't make any difference.  I would be really grateful for any help with this problem.

    Hunt
    When I connect my camcorder to my laptop, I get the bing-bong noise but no
    icon in the taskbar.  Also, when I try to import within Windows Moviemaker,
    the message 'Import video could not find a compatible digital video device.
    Verify that the digital video device is properly connected and turned on'.
    I have since connected a friend's Sony Mini DV camcorder to my laptop using
    exactly the same method.  As soon as the device was switched to playback, it
    instantly appeared in the taskbar and within device manager.  I was able to
    import video within Windows Moviemaker, but using Premiere Elements 3 I
    still got the message 'Capture Device Offline'.
    It has been suggested that I need to install drivers for my Canon MV700 but
    it never came with a cd.  I have checked online and have only been able to
    find a driver download for XP and not Vista.

  • Couldn't initialize capture device

    I am not able to capture any video from my webcam (Logitech USB Camera). I am working with linux red hat 8, so maybe it's a Linux issue (I got the liux jmf-2.1.1). Anyway, when I try to create a player or processor I get a NoPlayerException, but my webcam is found when i call Vector devices = CaptureDeviceManager.getDeviceList(new RGBFormat()) and I am able to locate the camera with MediaLocator loc = device.getLocator()(Media Location is v4l://0 in case it matters). But when I try to create a player I first get an IOException: Couldn't initialize capture device and a NoPlayerException.
    JMStudio is able to initialize the capture device but I just get a black screen. But I can take snapshot images without a problem.
    I am actually working on a robotics vision project for my university and i need the camera to plug it on the robot for vision problems.
    thanks, muriel

    I've had the same problem, I have a Lego camera (basically a quickcam) and it works fine under Linux with the qc-usb driver. Under JMStudio, it is detected, and I can capture from it, and this will work for any user, not just root. When I try to list the devices from my own Java code, however, I don't get any devices. If I run the V4LAuto class (found in the JMStudio source), the camera is detected. Either way, it won't initalize when I try to use it. I've looked through the JMStudio source code to try to see what it does differently so that I can use the device.
    On the camera, the light comes on to say that someone is requesting the stream with my own code, but the stream fails to initalize.
    I'm running RH9, kernel 2.4.21 (qc-usb won't work on 2.4.20-8). Does anyone know if this has to do with a permission in Java? It shouldn't, but it might.

  • [SOLVED] Setting default audio capture device

    I have a USB webcam with a microphone that is recognized by ALSA after the on-board line-in. This is fine in Skype because I can set the capture device to the USB microphone, but Flash seems to only use the first capture device (listing only "Linux Microphone") recognized by ALSA. Is there any way to set the default (presumably, the first) audio capture device, or get Flash to see my USB microhone?

  • 5.1.4 update breaks HDV capture? Unable to Initialize Capture Device

    Problem:
    Final Cut Pro cannot capture standard 1080i60 HDV footage from Sony FX1 camcorder. FCP reports "Unable to Initialize Capture Device" when the log and capture window is opened. However, the footage CAN be captured in iMovie (which is interesting, and unacceptable). When HDV>DV downconvert option on camcorder is activated, footage CAN be captured as anamorphic SD, so the camcorder and FW do work.
    The problem is occuring on a rock-solid FCP system that I use on a regular basis (mainly for SD editing). It has been approx 2 weeks since I last attempted a HDV capture, the system has been working great with SD footage (still does).
    Factors that have changed to my knowledge since HDV capture was last functioning properly:
    *Added a new external FW drive into regular usage (a different brand than normally used, no issues with it so far).
    *Updated FCP to 5.1.3, and then 5.1.4 when that fix came out. All SD captures and work have been fine so far.
    Here's what's interesting...I had a copy of the FCP v5.0.4 .app that I had saved an archive of prior to the crossgrade update. Guess what? I can load it up, and it captures HDV without any problems! With that in mind, this looks like an FCP 5.1.4 issue. But I am at a loss on how to proceed further in troubleshooting. Many thanks in advance for any assistance.

    FresHDV.com
    ---NOTES---
    What I have tried:
    *Attempted capture with a different Sony FX1 camcorder.
    *Swapped firewire cables and system firewire ports.
    *Attempted capture with camera FW chained to an external HDD.
    *Unplugged all other external firewire devices from the system.
    *Trashed FCP prefs using FCP Rescue 5, created new project using Easy Setup (for HDV).
    *Tried different variations of FCP A/V settings, tried all the HDV FW device control presets and the HDV AIC capture preset.
    *Per instructions at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301852 I removed the numbered Quicktime pckg Receipts and re-installed the latest version (7.13). Post-install/reboot, I repaired Disk Prefs and Verified the disk using Disk Util.

    I think I figured out this vexing problem. I too was having the same issue. Check to see that your Quicktime is newer than 7.1.2. If it isn't you'll have to upgrade it. I only upgraded to 7.1.6 here because I was afraid of going to a really new version. http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/quicktime716formac.html. After I upgraded my quicktime, I ran software update and the Final Cut Pro 5.1.4 update appeared. I hoipe this helps.

    I recently purchased a MacBook Pro and installed FCP Pro 5 on it. After getting over some time code issues we were chugging along, when on the 4th tape the image on the log and capture screen suddenly dissapeared (I could get audio and could see the image on the tape deck). Well after taking the tape out, checking and rechecking it I popped it back in and ever since then, I have been getting this error mssg "Unable to initialize capture device and device control."
    I have tried deleting the preferences and starting from scratch. If I do that, and choose the easy setup with HDV- 1080i60, it gives me this error "Unable to locate the following external devices- HDV (1440 X 1080) 30fps.
    I upgraded to FCP 5.1.2 this morning and upgraded the OS to 10.4.7 and QT to 7.1.3 and still no change.
    Im at my wits end, Ive been working on this for a whole week now.
    Thank you,

    It has been reported to take more than one attempt to correct the installation but, if properly executed on a machine without other system problems, the QT reinstall process does work. The key element here is you must reinstall QT after you trash the receipts. The process is listed below.
    x
    To do a full quicktime reinstall.
    Go to /library/receipts and delete any files that say Quicktime followed by a number e.g. Quicktime703.pkg
    Go to the Apple quicktime site and download the appropriate version of Quicktime to your hard drive.
    Run the Quicktime installer.
    Repair Disk Permissions for your System Disk (Disk Utility > Select the system disk > Repair Disk Permissions)
    Reboot
    If this doesn't work, then the problem lies elsewhere:
    1. your system - user preferences, firewire ports or other system elements.
    2. your equipment - camera/deck/firewire cables.
    3. your process - not setting up the software properly or using the software erroneously.
    Listed below is a troubleshooting process. Not all steps are appropriate but the general process of isolating the problem is useful.

  • Advice Needed for Video Capture Device

    Hi,
    I'm looking to buy a USB (or Firewire if they exist) video capture device that can take S-Video and composite connections. Could someone recommend me best one under $150 that is compatible with Snow Leopard? Also, and more importantly, does anyone know if it is possible to capture the signal via Quicktime Pro or Final Cut Pro rather than bundled third party software.
    Thanks!

    I used the predecessor to the Canopus ADVC55 to load VHS tapes into a mac.  As I recall I brought the firewire signal into iMovie (could have been Final Cut Pro too, as I had both on the system). Here are the specs:  http://www.grassvalley.com/products/advc55 .     Also some comments on it at http://www.amazon.com/Hardware-ADVC-55-d-Converter-Ntsc/dp/B000HGVZG0/ref=sr_1_2 ?ie=UTF8&qid=1323954590&sr=8-2   Here's another source to buy it: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/312315-REG/Grass_Valley_602005_ADVC_55_Ana log_to_Digital.html .
    They also make an ADVCmini, which I haven't used, which is probably less expensive, with specs at http://www.grassvalley.com/products/advcmini

  • Why can't you keep addons compatible with your very frequent new version releases?

    While I understand that you don't write the addons, it is very frustrating to me, that you keep releasing major version releases every few months, and the result is large numbers of incompatabilities. Why can't you make your builds more forgiving for
