It was my long time dream to shoot a video using a camcorder. but i didnt own a camcorder. Recently i had a chance of shooting a video using one of my uncles camcorder. It is JVC - Tape Based Camcorder. I am very much new for video shooting and its related stuff.
It was David Rehman video which inspired me to shoot some thing like what he has shown about Novell on XGL. I too did the same kind of video but using Fedora Core 5 Linux which uses AIGLX which is equivalent project to XGL.
First i placed the camera in front of my laptop and started shooting it. i showed all sorts of effects using the keyboard. Once after shooting, i am worried about porting the video to internet. i didnt see any good GUI based software similar to Windows Movie Maker. There is a command line tool called dvgrab. i tried it first but it says "No Camera Exists."
The day after i tried again after looking into ubuntu forums, linux1394.org for information on how to grab the video using the firewire port(not sure what to call).
Then i installed the required libraries and dvgrab now worked perfectly and started capturing the video. after capturing all the video, it was stored as AVI format. i decided to convert to theora format and i used ffmpeg2theora to convert that to ogg format.
After that i uploaded all the videos to Google Video and now promoting that to everyone to see.
