Sony DCR-HC23 + USB (0540:00c0) + Linux?

["Németh Márton" <nm127@freemail.hu>]

Hi,

does anybody have experience connecting Sony DCR-HC23 Handycam to Linux through
USB? I send the USB descriptor below.

The device appears only after selecting the "FN/MENU/SETUP MENU/USB STREAM"
menu item of the handycam to "ON". When I select "OFF" and press "EXEC" button
then the device disconnects from the USB bus, if I select "ON" and press "EXEC"
the device connects again to USB bus.

(The device also have a Firewire port, unfortunately my PC doesn't have one.)

Regards,

	Márton Németh
