[CLUG] Firewire question

[Paulod]

Hello Everyone,
                            Just a quick question I have just invested 
in a digital 8 camcorder the Sony dcr-trv340 which has an I-link 
(Firewire) output
I have ordered a pci firewire card for the pc, my questionis, is there 
any hope of copying the video from the camcorder to computer under linux?
also is there video edit type software available for linux? (I know that 
is two questions!!)
