[PLUG] videocam


I'm contemplating the purchase of a videocam and wanted to check in with
people who know better than I do about connectivity and performance.

I like lots of ins and outs but what does linux like?  Is it ok with usb
for video?  Is firewire an improvement that would make it a good idea to
get an add-in card for it?  Are they generally linux-friendly?

My application would be occasionally dumping video to the hd to edit and
compile.  Not thinking about DVD yet - only have cd.  I have done
dumping of analog video to pc and editing.


And for the cam folks, is there a point to digital over analog?


Thanks,
Jeff
