				dv_utils

This is a couple of command-line tools for working with DV AVI and
Quicktime files. The main tool is dv2dv. It is a file converter that
converts from between AVI, quicktime and raw DV without decoding. Also
in the tar ball are indexdvc that scans a DV tape in fast-forward and
captures key frames to produce a sort of story-board, and
dv1394connect which works like dvconnect except that it uses mmap on
the dv1394 device instead. Neither of these program are well-tested
and they are not installed by "make install".  For more information
see the man page (man dv2dv on the console).

WARNING: I do not guaranty that dv_utils can read quicktime files from
cinelerra or broadcast 2000, or that cinelerra or broadcast will read
dv_utils quicktime files. It may work for you, but it doesn't for me.

This program is released under the GNU GPL. A copy of the GNU GPL is
included in the COPYING file.

				To build dv_utils

First, make sure libquicktime
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/libquicktime/) or quicktime4linux is
installed if you want quicktime file support. If you don't use
quicktime you don't need it.

This is standard autoconf package. Do the following:
$ ./configure
$ make

To build the programs and do the following to install them:

$ make install
