Santa brought us a MiniDV camcorder for Christmas, and I'm interested in using linux to do some basic digital video editing (home videos, soccer games, stupid stuff like that)
I know IEEE 1394 support is still experimental, but my question is, how experimental? Is anyone using it (especially for digital video capture/transfer) and, if so, how successful have you been? I don't mind a few application crashes, and even the occasional system crash but I'd like to avoid things along the lines of file corruption, kernel corruptions, etc. Also, if anyone has had particularly good luck with a PCI 1394 card, please post the brand/model that you're using. Thanks. --kurt
