Hi Andrew,

Thank you for posting your DVD-authoring notes !!!

We bought a Sony miniDV camcorder a few months ago and, using Linux,
have had been able to transfer the sound and video onto both a laptop
and a desktop machine using these two (cheap) adapters:

  http://www.syba.com/product/43/01/11/1/index.html  (SD-PCI-4F)

We've also played with kino a bit which we like.  It'll be nice to get
the resulting AVIs turned into DVDs.  So if other folks have any
recommendations concerning what has or hasn't worked for them (please
stick to Linux solutions, since "go buy a Mac" is not a desirable option
for us at this time), please post them!

Ed
