My older video camera has a "digital" output, which accepts a firewire
jack. If you don't have this, then the next best thing is to use the
composite output that you mentioned. For that you'll need some kind of
capture device. Off the top of my head, I'd recommend a Hauppauge
PVR-150. It's an older capture card, 720x480 max, and you can probably
get them cheap on ebay or elsewhere. That card is supported in Debian
Lenny. It captures and encodes the video in MPEG-2 format.
