P4 HT is irrelevant.
I thought so, but, once I got going, I'd figure I'd supply it all. ;-)
No one has written a driver, I think. Firewire is the the technology
of choice for those people writing video transport drivers and apps.
Kino is what to look for. It is packaged in Debian.
No driver? Huh. I did apt-get Kino, though. It seems to only provides Firewire usage.
Since this is a Sony camcorder, it must have an i.Link port on it,
no? Or is it that the Toshiba doesn't have a Firewire port?
They both do; and I shall be getting a FireWire some day. But, I would like to have the USB working in the interim.
