I'm looking to capture my hdv footage from a canon hv20 camera onto a laptop running Ubuntu 9.10. No clue where to find software to do this capture. Hdvsplit is a windows only free program that does this but other than that not sure. thanks.

Depending on the cameras output, you could use Cinelerra.

I'd imagine that if it has a firewire port, you could use that and dvgrab to do it. Assuming you have a firewire port on your computer too.
