i'm about to take a stab at messing with my brother's DV camera through RH 8.0. the current HW at hand:
me: dell inspiron 8100, with firewire port him: panasonic digital video camera, no obvious model number on it, but i'm sure i can find it eventually as a first attempt, i've been looking at "dvgrab". if anyone has nailed this down and got it working, drop me a note, or just point me at a site with the instructions/HOWTO, and i'll be eternally grateful. rday
