Description:
Compile using the gcc compiler which is in most Linux distributions by default.

The program is simple. It looks to your /dev/raw1394 device (firewire device on linux) for a mpeg2 stream. If it sees one then it writes it to disk.

mpg1394grab > somempegfile.mpg

will start the program listening to the /dev/raw1394 firewire device on your computer. When you hit REC on your camera (or PLAY if you are in VTR mode) mpg1392mpg will start to write the file to your computer.

To Monitor:
mpg1394grab | mpeg2dec -t 4096

To Capture:
mpg1394grab > testfile.mpg
