[PLUG] Sony DCR TRV33 HandyCam Mini DV Capturing.

[McLinux <mclinux@myrealbox.com>]

Hi all,


Recently I purchased the above mentioned handycam. This stuff is really 
cool, however when I need to connect it to my machine, it demands Win* 
OS which I am not willing to boot into (USB port is accessible only 
through Win*, Mac).

Hence I am purchasing firewire card and cable so that I can access 
IEEE1394 port instead of USB. Can you please suggest any card which you 
have used and found satisfactory? Are they working good with GNU/Linux?

Lastly but not the least can you recommend any good software that can be 
used to get the MiniDV recording from the handycam to the machine? Any 
pointers where I can find good details about HandyCam under GNU/Linux?


TIA.

Regards,
McLinux
