How to get video off of my camera?

[joe at actionline.com]

I can't figure out how to copy videos off of my Kodak M863 Digital camera
onto my Linux system.

I was able to use gphoto2 to copy still photos onto my older Mandriva
Linux system, but neither gphoto nor gphoto2 work on my newer Linux
system.

Eventually, I found that I could get the photos off using digikam, but
while a video (.MOV) appears in the digikam list of captured images, when
I try to copy it off, an error results: "Failed to load image ..."

Under multimedia applications on my system, there are 15 apps listed under
graphics and 14 apps listed under video, and while I have used several of
the graphics apps, I have not yet used any of the video apps.

Hope some of my plug friends can advise me how to get my videos copied off
my camera onto my Linux box, and which video apps might work best.

Recently someone on the list recommended "Open Movie Editor" as perhaps
the best video editor, but I have not been able to get the video on my
camera imported into it.

Help!
