I have a Sony HandyCam which records in mpg format and looks like an
external disk to my SuSE PC. I thought that's what they all did these

I'm fine with this camcorder, but I daresay there are others which are
equally good and there may be better value for money out there. I'm not
an expert and I haven't fully investigated. I just bought the best one
that seemed to be on offer when I went looking for one,
