Most of them are, and should certainly say so on the box or web site. I got a fairly nice one I think, for cheap (3 external ports and one internal, maybe it was made by Lucent if memory serves), and the kernel detects it just fine, but that's as far as I got so far: ohci1394: $Revision: 1.80 $ Ben Collins PCI: Found IRQ 11 for device 00:0f.0 PCI: Sharing IRQ 11 with 00:02.2 ohci1394_0: OHCI-1394 1.0 (PCI): IRQ=[11] MMIO=[cffff000-cffff800] Max Packet=[2048] video1394: Installed video1394 module raw1394: /dev/raw1394 device initialized ieee1394: sbp2: Driver forced to serialize I/O (serialize_io = 1) scsi2 : IEEE-1394 SBP-2 protocol driver Any suggestions for good video editing software which can generate VCDs would be appreciated; I want to transfer video from my digital 8mm to some sort of disc format (VCD or maybe DVD some day). And does anybody know if VCD is a universal format, e.g. will the same discs play on a generic PAL DVD player, or do you have to purposely encode at higher res and lower framerate? It would be convenient for sending home movies to my wife's family. -- _______ Shawn T.
