Default xawtv and lavrec setup problems
I want to capture video from the component output of my Canon DC410
camcorder.

I purchased KWorld DVD Maker USB2.0 (Maybe not the best choice?)

When connected to a Squeeze 64 bit system it was immediately recognized
as /dev/video0

xawtv -hwscan produced the following outbut:

flags: capture

Which looks OK but both xawtv and lavrec fail. I would appreciate any
help in getting one of these programs or some other video capture
program to work.

The following logs show the output of starting xawtv and lavrec:

Next I tried lavrec first setting the environmental variable
LAV_VIDEO_DEV=/dev/video0 and then entering

lavrec --format=a --input=n --audio-bitsize=0
/data/video/Ischgl/test.avi

which resulted in the following message:

For additional information I ran lsusb -s 001:007

Some of the best programs out there for video capturing are "ffmpeg" and/
or "mencoder" (both in command line).

On the graphical side, I think VideoLAN can capture streams coming from "/
dev/video0" quite easily :-?
