Chris,<br><br>Disappointing, but not unexpected. Other then this one step, I have managed to find a port for os x (10.4.11) for everything else used for this project. I just happen to have plenty of g4 iBooks that would do the trick. Im not really up for installing Debian on one of these machines at the moment. My learning curve just cant take too much more volicity!<br>

Hi Ben,<br>
<br>
Sorry about that, I must have been mistaken. I just looked for dvgrab in my OS X install, but couldn't see it. I must have booted into my Ubuntu partition on my MacBook when I ran it.<br>
<br>
Thinking about it, it's likely not particularly simple to get it running on OS X due to the hardware interfacing required. Hopefully you can get things running on Linux though. Sorry I can't suggest a Mac-based alternative.<br>

Kinodv/dvgrab looks like it might be a silver bullet - and while I do have access to a Linux setup, I'm curious where you found a OS X distribution. Fink/Ports don't seem to have dvgrab / kino and I've been googling for any mention of success on Mac with out any joy. Now im not too fluent with Linux so perhaps I'm just showing off my ignorance.<br>

Hello all -<br>
<br>
Looking for some advice or insight. I know the electron club is a diverse group so fire away if any of you have any thoughts but perhaps someone may know of an appropriate *nix forum for this as well? Google hasn't given me a whole lot to play with.<br>
<br>
I'm trying to capture frame grabs from usb/fire wire web cams via a bash script. So far I've run across this CLI app called VideoScript which looks promising. I know I could use PD to do such a thing, but the rest of my work flow is shaping up to be neatly wrapped up in one shell script.<br>
<br>
I don't know if this is appropriate for the kind of camera you have, but you could try dvgrab from <a href="http://kinodv.org" target="_blank">kinodv.org</a>.<br>
<br>
The command line I've used (from a webcam-grabbing script that Simon wrote) is:<br>
sudo dvgrab --format jpeg --jpeg-overwrite --jpeg-width 360 --jpeg-height 288 --jpeg-deinterlace --every 75 <filename-prefix><br>
<br>
That happily worked for me (in both OS X and Linux) to capture frames directly -- over Firewire -- from a DV video camera.<br>
