I just got it going the other day with my HP Laptop, a Sony HandyCam, and Fedora 7. I had to use a different kernel because Fedora 7 changed the ieee1394 stack. Once I had that going, Kino worked fine through /dev/raw1394 or whatever the default was.

Kevin, have you ever been able to capture video via firewire under<br>Linux?<br><br>I only gave it a quick try but was not able to do it. While there is<br>fireware support for Linux, my understanding is each video camera has
