sony digital handycam (DCR-TRV60E) in linux

[Benedict Verheyen <linux4bene@pandora.be>]

Hi,


i bought a Sony DCR-TRV60E camera. I can also take pictures as well as
record videos. I can mount the camera as /dev/sda1 to look at the
pictures i've taken but i don't know how i can download the film i've
recorded.
Do i need to compile additional stuff in the kernel?
What programs can i use to playback the film and maybe edit it?

Thanks for any pointers or documentation.

Benedict
