Video capture?

[Jim Herrmann]

And I like to know if anyone has gotten a IEEE1394 (Firewire) card to work 
with a digital video camera.  Mandrake doesn't recognize my 1394 card.  I 
have not really spent a great deal of time with it, but I thought I would 
jump in since Tony brought it up.  From what I've read, video capture and 
digital video transfer are two different things.  Anyone out there a video 
expert?

Thanks for bringing this up Tony.

Happy New Year,
Jim
