[kwlug-disc] IEEE1394 dv import

[CrankyOldBugger]

I don't have anything with IEEE1394, but if you're desperate I think I have
an RCA to USB converter in a box somewhere.  It won't control the camera
but it will at least move the A/V to the computer for you, assuming your
camera also has RCA plugs (I bought it to convert VHS tapes to digital).
