Hi everyone,
i´m new to linux and have two question.
1. is it possible to acess my digital camcorder through firewire and extract the recorded videos without any additional hardware?
2. does anyone know a good freeware program for that?
Hi Axel Under SuSE 8.2 it is very easy. I use the firewire port to transfer movies from my Sony DCR-PC110E digicam to the system using Kino, cinelerra, dvgrab and process it with MainActor. Also under 8.1 I was able to do this but I had to manually load the modules for ieee1394. There is a web page which treats the use of firewire port under linux, do a search under google-linux for ieee1394.
