how experimental is 1394 these days?
Santa brought us a MiniDV camcorder for Christmas, and I'm interested in
using linux to do some basic digital video editing (home videos, soccer
games, stupid stuff like that)
I know IEEE 1394 support is still experimental, but my question is, how
experimental? Is anyone using it (especially for digital video
capture/transfer) and, if so, how successful have you been? I don't mind a
few application crashes, and even the occasional system crash but I'd like to
avoid things along the lines of file corruption, kernel corruptions, etc.
Also, if anyone has had particularly good luck with a PCI 1394 card, please
post the brand/model that you're using.
Thanks.
