transferring raw video from DV camera to Linux Machine with OpenShot Video Editor

I would recommend looking into Kino. I believe it has the ability to pull
DV footage from firewire.

Thanks,

I checked and I believe Kino is more of an historical fix. The current version doesn't recognize my MiniDV Camcorder.

I succeeded in getting a video into the machine by using a windows wizard and then transferring the file to Linux.

I didn't see the above features in your software -- and I need to get a copy of the footage in the computer before I can play with it using your software.

It is planned but not for the moment.
If i have an advice is that use DVgrab (or kino in a GUI) but before you must (each time that you use it) type this command in a terminal :
sudo modprobe raw1394
sudo chmod 777 /dev/raw1394
For using dvgrab the good command :
dvgrab --autosplit --format dv2 --size0 --opendml mynewfile

Connect Your DV Camera: First, ensure your DV camera is connected to your Linux machine using an appropriate interface (usually Firewire or USB, depending on your camera model).

Power On the DV Camera: Turn on your DV camera and set it to playback mode.

Launch OpenShot: Open OpenShot Video Editor on your Linux machine. If you don't have it installed, you can easily install it from your distribution's package manager.

Import Footage: Click on the "Import Files" button in OpenShot and browse to the location where your DV camera is connected. Select the raw video files you want to transfer. read more:- https://wyzeapppc.com/

Add to Timeline: Drag and drop the imported video clips from the project files panel onto the timeline at the bottom of the OpenShot interface.

Edit and Export: You can now edit your video as needed, adding transitions, effects, and more. Once you're satisfied, click "Export" to save your edited video to your Linux machine's storage.

Eject the DV Camera: Safely eject or disconnect your DV camera from your Linux machine.
