Freeware prog for DV capture needed

[cheeseplease]

Since videowave4 comes up with errors all the way:

Is there any cool freeware prog that can capture DV via firewire, and that can split the file into scenes as well?

Hi, i've had my panasonic nv-ds38 for about a month, but am yet to use the firewire yet (lazy). I plan to use the firewire port of the audigy, so i jotted these addresses down, as i will need software, for when i get my act together:

(nearly free)

An excellent little freeware program called DVIO is what you are looking for. The home page for it is at: http://mcarr.eecs.umich.edu/dvio/

Once you have the footage in DV format, you can use the free Scenalyzer program to get the separate scenes:

The amount of money the author charges for the full ScenalyzerLive program is a steal. Best $33 I've spent in a long time.

I've found the following page to be a good one for more information on various topics, ranging from DV to MPEG-2 encoder comparisons:
