Hello, If this is not the forum, please suggest proper place to ask. I've a sony camcorder, which connects over USB cable. I've been able to use usb-mass-storage to retrieve the pictures from it under linux-2.4 kernel. I'm trying how to get the video. The usbmgr just loads the 'audio' driver, when i plug the usb. I guess the webcam's do work using v4l. Is camcorder-playback any different than a webcam-playback ? Is video-over-USB a 'standard' protocol ? Does Sony follows it ? --Regards --Vardhan
