I tried to help out my son, who just got a new digital Panasonic camcorder. He can use the USB mode to transfer still pictures ( as I was also, with SUSE) but we could not get the streaming video to save as a file. Is anyone familiar with this?? -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux user # 367800 X-Request-PGP: http://home.comcast.net/~p.cartwright/wsb/key.asc

If it has a firewire connection you can use dvgrab to capture the video as an .avi file.

You will need firewire card for this. Then dvgrab and kino are your friends. I was really amazed how everything worked on my 9.1. I just bought firewire card, put it in, and after booting just connected the camcorder (mine is Panasonic too). kino and dvgrab worked out of the box. There are so gotchas with kino for capturing. Looks like more some bug in gnome layer, not in kino as is :) Cheers and happy capturing Sunny
