Saturday I decided to blow a little cash and went and
bought a dv camera ( a Sony TRV-22…). It’s pretty
cool.

Then I drove into Winston Salem to go to the Tommygun cd
release party. Enjoyed there set and Cars Will
Fly set as well. Drove home.

Got home, decided to try to figure out how to
get the dv camera working under linux. Apparently
the ieee1394 chipset on my machine isnt well supported
under 2.4. Though I was able to get one of the two
existing camera driver implementations to work (dv1394
worked, video1394). Was able to import video etc. The
fun part was that even though I could talk to the camera,
it never showed up as a firewire device. Weird.

Decided to try the fresh new 2.6.0 rpms. Much better,
the preferred driver worked, and AV/C (aka, being able to
make the camera play/fast forward/etc from the computer)
works as well.

Figured out Kino enough to do some basic importing and
editing.
