Hi again, If your camcorder connects to the computer through firewire, there is one caution: kino may not be able to see the firewire port under CentOS. More details are in this forum thread: http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?viewmode=flat&topic_id=14858&forum=45 In there, I (toracat) admit that my workstation that handles our camcorder is still running FC6. This was for other reasons, but now that I know kino does not work on CentOS (with its firewire support), I cannot make the switch. Just wanted to give you some heads up. Akemi
