Bill,
Last year my daughter bought me a Sony Handicam DCR-SR42 for
Christmas. It has a 30GB hard drive in it, and a USB connection. My
laptop recognized it right away and mounted it as a USB hard drive
device. I can access the the stored videos (MPGs) (in a simial method
to accessing my SONY still camera's JPGs) and access them directly.
I even learned how to burn the MPGs to a DVD with a script.
Does your videocam not have any local storage on it? For me, the
trick was in knowing where to look for the videos after Linux mounted
the device....
/media/disk/mp_root/101pnv01/
holds all of the .mpg files and
/media/disk/dcim/101msdcf/
holds all of my .jpg files....
Yes, the "local storage" is a tape drive. And given that the camera has
only a dozen hours of use in five years, I have a hard time justifying
an upgrade. It's totally adequate for the intended use as an easy to use
movie camera for a non-camera person. I'd like to get data out pre
split, I can split it if absolutely necessary. :-(
