So you _should_ be able to use 'gphoto2' to get the movies out of your camcorder: http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=OSCompatibilityArchiveAct&fcategoryid=2115&keycode=macdr Something like 'gphoto2 -L' should work with your camera. This should give you a list of what's on your camera. 'gphoto2 -P' should pull all the files on your camcorder onto your computer. According to gphoto2 --list-cameras, your model 100 isn't supported yet, however you may be able to 'trick' it into working with some of the 'expert options': --port=FILENAME Specify port device --speed=SPEED Specify serial transfer speed --camera=MODEL Specify camera model --usbid=USBIDs (expert only) Override USB IDs If it doesn't work out of the box for you with gphoto2, but does work with some of the expert options, contact me off list and we can get it directly integrated into gphoto2.
