I have been using kino to import from our miniDV camcorder and do some simple editing -- but all on FC6. As I wrote in my post earlier in this thread, I have been unable to do this on CentOS 5. Were you able to get kino to recognize the firewire port ? If so, would you mind sharing your experience in this forum thread?

After we get the camcorder and a PCI Firewire card, I will try this in CentOS 5.2 and let you know if it works on our HW. Possibly it has to do with the HW Akemi is using, but, probably not, because it works there on FC6. Probably you are correct that something is broken in CentOS for Firewire.
I almost forgot to tell you that firewire support is disabled in the distro kernel. This is upstream's decision. Fortunately, we have centosplus kernel which has firewire enabled. This is briefly mentioned in the forum thread I referred to.
Thank you for advising me about that very critical detail! I would have wondered why it didn't work, with the standard kernel!
