This is a list of open issues and improvements for dvgrab. Feel free to implement any of these; I will help out where I can. The --frames option should be complemented with a --duration parameter, which takes the number of seconds and calculates the correct number of frames, depending on PAL or NTSC format. Easy. AV/C control, such that dvgrab starts the camcorder before grabbing. Medium. Some form of positioning, such that dvgrab waits for a given timecode or date/time stamp before grabbing. Medium. User defineable number of frames in internal buffer, which is now hardwired to 100. Easy.
