Okay, so I still haven't bought a firewire card. I'm sure that will happen soon.
But in the meantime, I have a Panasonic PV-GS 150 camcorder. It includes a USB interface, so I hooked it up to my Debian box to see what would happen. Here's what I see in /var/log/messages/. Initializing USB Mass Storage driver... scsi1 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices usbcore: registered new driver usb-storage USB Mass Storage support registered. Vendor: Matshita Model: DVC Rev: 1.00 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 00 sd 1:0:0:0: Attached scsi removable disk sda Um...okay. Now what? Any ideas? I've never tried to pull video off of this camcorder before. I've been content to hook it up directly to a TV and play back from tape, but now I have several tapes that I'd like to convert to DVDs or something. I just wanted to see whether I could get away without having to spring for a firewire card at the moment.
