I gave my wife a Canon Elura 100 camcorder for Christmas. I just watched

Fedora Core 5?  If I just plugged in the camcorder to my onboard 1394
port, will an application come up recognizing the camcorder and offering
to download the movie from the DV tape?

Thanks

I don't think its quite as automatic, but then I haven't investigated to see if it could be done, possibly someplace in kde's file association maybe?

But to do that install the latest kino-0.9.4 I believe it is and its dependencies, from either livna or ATrpms. I've found it stable here, controlling a Sony TVR-460.

Thanks.

Can you tell me what to do to fix it?

Here is what yum installed for me as dependencies on kino:
