I've had frequent problems importing video over firewire from my SCD103 DV
camera. Today I think I found a definitive solution. Using Linux kernel
2.6.11 with the dv1394 module, I can get Kino's AVC controls to turn on and
play, fast-forward, rewind, etc. I can't get Kino to start capturing from
this camera by simply pressing the "capture" button, but it turns out that's
not as big of a problem as I had previously imagined. The simple solution is
to activate the AVC controls, hit the play button in kino, wait for the camera
to start playing, then hit the capture button. No more iMovie for me.
