A little over a year ago I had my DC camcorder connected up to a Linux box 
via firewire. At the time there seemed to be a bug of some sort in the 
middleware library such that only one attempt in five resulted in the 
captured data being written to disk (I could see it all in dmesg though 
courtesy of debugging).

I've not had the time to look into it again since however I expect that it 
should work quite well.

There are a couple of editing software packages out there - freshmeat is 
your friend.
