Hacky Bash Script for batch converting MiniDV Videos into a more modern and deinterlaced file format.
Still very much a work in progress at this point.
Inspired by this blog post https://leolabs.org/blog/capture-minidv-on-macos/
- To capture from the camcorder:
dvgrab --autosplit --timestamp --size 0 --rewind Video-
Autosplit: Splits into clips as they were recorded. The advantage of this is that clips can be processed on their own or as a batch. Size 0: No limit on size of the files (typically defaults to 1gb files). Rewind: automatically rewinds the tape at the end of capture.
