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.
