If it's got a FireWire/IEEE-1394 (aka i-Link) connection as well (most digital camcorders I've come across do), you'd probably be better off using that along with dvgrab or kino. The USB connection more than likely requires a driver and/or software package that is specific to the model of camera you're using. (I assume you've already googled and drawn a blank.) We had several Sony D8 camcorders at the school at which I used to work; they offered both USB and FireWire connections but the USB one produced video that was no better than a cheap webcam and required a proprietary Windows-only driver. The FireWire port, on the other hand, worked "out of the box" with Linux and gave high-quality 720x576 DV either from tape or "live". Sorry to be so discouraging! :-) Stephen ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
