MicroMV under Linux
For everyone stuck with a Sony’s MicroMV format, I
have bumped into something that’s close to being a consumer capture proggy, although still
CLI. All you need to do is run it and you’re left with a number of MPEG2 TS
file with no additional garbage in them. Thanks Eric!
Gstreamer, xine lib & mplayer can all handle transport streams these
days.
As a sidenote, I wonder if the new FinalCut supports MicroMV cams, since
it’s essentially identical format (to my eye at least) to the few HD cams out
there. If this worked, it would be really nifty to be able to edit the streams
directly without needing to worry about interframe compression. Not that I’m
willing to spend a thousand bucks on it…
