I am currently working on the following and thought I'd check if others have any of the pieces already or have any pointers. I plan to hook my Sony DCR-VX700 (Digital Video Camera w/fire wire interface) to a Sony DVBK-1000 card (single port fire wire) and then feed the captured data from the camera into a software MPEG-2 encoder under FreeBSD. The DVBK board has control for single frame accurate control of the camera, hence, I can step it along as each frame is needed by the MPEG 2 encoder software. The area that is still unknown is the hardware/software interface to the DVBK card. I haven't any idea whom to talk to about this. The card includes software to control everything from MSwindows95 and write the image to a 900K BMP which I can convert. However, I'd prefer to get the DVBK board operating under FreeBSD directly, or possibly the Adaptec AHA8940 (triple fire wire interface card). If I go with the Adaptec card I'm not sure if I get the camera control. If you have any information which might be relavent I'd appreciate hearing of it. Brian Litzinger brian@mediacity.com
