Howdy, |

I'm going to get myself an HD video camera, that |
| 4 |
works well with open source software on Gentoo. |
| 5 |
Problem is (head scratching), I recall when I went |
| 6 |
through this some years ago I had lots of problems |
| 7 |
making a decision that worked with linux. I ended up with a |
| 8 |
Sony DCR-SR42. It works and the disk is mounted |
| 9 |
via the usb port. I can cd into the /dev/disk/<sony> |
| 10 |
mount point and used scp to remotely copy |
| 11 |
the mpg files and jpg photos to any system |
| 12 |
on the network. That to me is minimal functionality. |
| 13 |

Surely somebody has a HD video camera that works |
| 16 |
extra cool with Gentoo and gives a variety of video output |
| 17 |
formats, like h.264; or the video output can be |
| 18 |
easily converted to h.264 and other formats? |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Surely, there is an easy method (software app) to just |
| 22 |
burn a dvd from the contents of the video camera directly |
| 23 |
with (gentoo) linux; just like I can do, from the old |
| 24 |
sony(XP) software that came with the camera? |
| 25 |
|

Any recommendations are most welcome. I mostly record |
| 28 |
fast moving sports, like basketball, football and |
| 29 |
water skiing, so the 'debouncing technologies' or |
| 30 |
motion compensation if you like, are also of keen |
| 31 |
interest to me. |
