       dvcont <command1> [ <command2> ... ]

       dvcont is a command line tool to send control commands via an IEEE1394 link to a device that implements the AV/C specifications by the 1394
       Trade Association.  Or for the non-techies: dvcont lets you remote control your DV camera via a Firewire cable.	The following commands are
       understood:

       dev <number>
	      Select  device  number  on chain to use. (dvcont tries to automatically detect the camera. Use the dev command BEFORE any other com-
	      mands for manual control.)

       play   Tell the camera to play. If already playing, it toggles slow-motion.

       reverse
	      Tell the camera to play in reverse. If already playing, it toggles slow-motion.

       trickplay < -14 to +14 >
	      Tell the camera to play at various speeds.  0 = forward play, -14  = fastest reverse, -8 = 1X reverse, -1 =  slowest  reverse,  1  =
	      slowest forward, 8 = 1X forward, 14 = fastest forward.  (Not supported by all cameras.)

       stop   Tell the camera to stop playing.

       rewind Tell the camera to rewind. (Use in stop or play mode.)

       ff     Tell the camera to fast forward. (Use in stop or play mode.)

       pause  Tell the camera to toggle pause play.

       next   Tell the camera to go to the next frame. (Use in pause mode.)

       nextindex
	      Tell the camera to search for the next scene. (Use in pause or play mode.)

       prev   Tell the camera to go to the previous frame. (Use in pause mode)

       previndex
	      Tell the camera to search for the previous scene. (Use in pause or play mode)

       record Tell the camera to record. (Use with caution!)

       eject  Tell the camera to eject the tape. (Not supported by all cameras.)

       timecode

       seek <timecode>
	      Tell the camera to go to the timecode, given in format HH:MM:SS:FF as above.

       status Report the status of the device.

       pluginfo
