#Help #Fedipower!!!

Is there actually anything that doesn't work on #Mint/#LMDE6-32 that already worked on #WinXP?

I want to rip #sVHS tapes using a #Canopus connected to the #Firewire/IEEE1394 port.

But neither #Shotcut nor #Kdenlive offers this feature. 😭

#anyideas???

Sollte tatsächlich irgendwas unter Mint/#LMDE6-32 nicht gehen, was bereits unter #WinXP ging?

Ich möchte #sVHS-Cassetten mittels eines #Canopus am #Firewire/IEEE1394-Port auslesen.

Doch weder #Shotcut noch #Kdenlive bieten dieses feature. 😭

#werweisswas???

Okay #hardware #nerd types and #DataHoarders or #DigitalArchivists...

I'm using #Ubuntu #Linux on an old #iMac with #dvgrab to download the exact copies of all my #MiniDV tapes in #DV format.

But I have to say... This thing is a monster.

Can anyone recommend a laptop with #Firewire 800 that also runs Linux well?

Now, I’m not exactly what you would call a retro hardware enthusiast, but even I knew Iomega never made a FireWire ZIP drive.

Nice! I was able to use #dvgrab with my #FireWire card and #DV #camera without any configuration on #Fedora #Linux. I won't be sticking to it because of the short term support, but happy to know that part of my old PC will work just fine under Linux!

Thinking about going with #AlmaLinux instead because of the longer support cycle. That or #ZorinOS.

Thinking about repurposing my old #PC. It’s an #Intel i7-3770 with 32GB of DDR3 800 MHz RAM (though CPU-Z reports 672.5 MHz?). Intel HD graphics 4000, my GTX 950 died. Currently running #Windows10 but should wipe it and run a #Linux distro. Oh, it has a #FireWire card for DV capture. It’s important that keeps functioning.

I wonder if adding a “new” dedicated GPU would still be worth it?

It also doesn’t help I don’t know yet what to do with it. I have my #Mac for video, photo and music…
