Update: the full command for ffmpeg is already given above, here is the output I am receiving when running that: And as now discovered that kino is actually "dead" I am wondering what combination of tools gives me good quality as easily as possible.


Especially on rapid movements, lots of pixelish stuff. I then used a little script that reads does ffmpeg -i infile -pix_fmt yuv420p -crf 23 outfile to turn that dv file into an mp4īut alas, the quality of the mp4 isn't that convincing.That created a ~8 GB file for 40 minutes of video.Just using the standard settings (I didnt select any output format just went for "single" unlimited file).On Ubuntu 16.04 I just had to connect the device and my laptop via the DV/firewire cable.I took my old NV-GS500 Panasonic camcorder in order to finally turn all our recordings into digital media.
