How to get video off of my camera?

[Stephen]

I think all of this is pointing to the way the camera is connecting to
your system, and how the hardware is connected.

i would take a look there and make sure the Os is really seeing the
media correctly, then i think any app you use will be good to go.

i know the output of lspci and... err i forget the other.. should have
some clues.

bot to keep it from being horrible boot the system. wait a min then
plug in and then do lspci so it will mostly be at the bottom of the
output.
