command line version of WinDV

[wakewatcher]

I need a command line version of something like WinDV. Basically I need to a program that can suck off a firewire from a camcorder and put the output in type II avi files in a directory as specified by a command line parameter. It needs to split the stream into individual clips as taken and name them sequentially as WinDV does. If it doesn't display the video in a window then at least it needs to stop when there is no more video on the tape. I think DVgrab does this for linux but I need something in Windows that I can control with a script. Audio is a nice to have but not really necessary. Is there anything out there that does this? Thanks.

AutoIt (http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/) can automate just about any GUI, you could use it to control WinDV.

ffmpeg or vlc are other options

I'll have to play with it. I assume autohotkey will work in that way as well. I've used ahk but haven't used it for GUI manipulation. Thanks for the idea. I'll see if I can figure it out.
