I have been trying to get the various ieee1394 software and protocols 
working (on Debian Sarge) so that I can download video from my 
camcorder.    It seems to work OK, until I actually try to capture some 
video, then the whole system becomes unresponsive. 

I then downloaded dynebolic ( a multimedia live cd).  This too exhibited 
the same behavior, so that rules out any configuration issue with 
Debian, and points to a bigger issue.  Since obviously somebody must be 
having luck with ieee1394 video capture, I'm guessing that my camera is 
non-standard. 

I don't think that helps you, but maybe using dynebolic you can work 
through some of the configuration issues, or find some of the specialty 
apps that are so cool.  For example:
