One more piece of the puzzle. I rebooted my computer into Windows 7, plugged
the camera into the same firewire port, and captured 50 minutes of video and
audio from the same tape with no errors or dropped frames. So at least I can
report that all the hardware is working. As soon as I finish capturing the
second 50 minute tape, I will go back to Linux and try your suggestions. Too
bad VMPlayer does not support firewire, or I could do all of this without
rebooting!
