The reasoning for that decision is here: http://technology.siprep.org/deleting-keychains-at-user-logout/

I will either use a logout hook, which is deprecated by apple but still usable (and very simple to implement): http://www.amsys.co.uk/2015/02/delete-keychains-logout/?nabe=6486817002487808:0

or I will use Offest: https://github.com/aysiu/offset

I tested the epiphany avid hd video capture interface on the department's ultrasound machine. This now works as a plug and play device and is capturable on any computer with a USB port.

I also committed for the next couple of months to regular hours in the labs as undergrad and grad are requiring more attention now. I'll be up there Thursdays, 10:00-14:00. Two class groups have already contacted me asking for assistance.

Original post blogged on b2evolution.

This is how I did it:

I used kino with the following command line changes after it was installed:

sudo chmod a+rw /dev/raw1394

That will change the file permissions to allow all users read and write access for firwire. If this isn't done kino wont work unless launched as a super user.

Kino is needed to preview and manipulate the tape being viewed to the point before capture. If the whole file was being captured I would have used dvgrab, which is a command line way of simply sucking the video in dv format onto the hdd.

After it is saved as a .dv I used openshot and imported the .dv file in and added a title and simple fade in fade out. (openshot has no capture capability) I then exported with the following settings:

Profile: All formats
Target: mp4 h.264
Everything else left on default.

This exported a 6 minute video in less than 6 minutes.

We will likely use Kino to capture the video, save it as raw dv and then transcode to its final format.

The project as it stands now is only to take a few minutes from each tape - the contents of which are cooing babies - and leave the rest stranded on the tapes. I will raise the issue with John Essling (or whoever is responsible) and see if we can get them digitized in their entirety so that this research material isn't lost as time passes.

Martin mentioned perhaps using an old linux box as a print server. I'll look into this in the new year.

Jason said he would add 549 to allow for authentication and then configure in the new year. I will check later today or on Monday to see if authentication works.

Update: It works!
