I will need to buy a PCI card for Firewire and put it into one of our
Desktop boxes.. Probably my wife's, because it has the biggest HD. If
it doesn't work on CentOS 5.2, we will need to use M$ Windows.
Hopefully, it will work on Linux. :-)  CentOS 5 is based on FC6, but
there must be something included  in Fedora that isn't in CentOS?
Simple editing is probably what we will be doing here. We got an
opportunity to buy a new camcorder this afternoon and will buy it
tomorrow. It was on display and we have a chance to buy
it, for about 70% less.
