What exactly do you want to do?  Pull video off your video camera?  To do
this over firewire, I use a program called Kino and another one called
dvgrab.  Kino is basically a GUI front end for dvgrab.  If you want to
convert the video to MPEG or DIVX, then you want to get mjpegtools.

mjpegtools: http://mjpeg.sourceforge.net/
