Not personally experienced that issue, but when using kino to import
from my dv camera, it almost always crashed in CentOS whenever doing
anything that needed talking to the camera, but works *almost*
flawlessly in Ubuntu. Same version of kino, some of libs built against
may be different, but the biggest difference was firewire subsystem and
firewire is where the crashes happened.
My firewire ipod however worked well in CentOS (until the ipod broke),
so the issue may have been kino just working better with modern firewire
subsystem than what CentOS has.
