Thanks to the devs and community for their additional support for hard to get webcam drivers. My camcorder now works how and when I want it.
Now if only adobe flash would allow it to be detected...
Testing on Kino will be done with the results posted in the video following this one.

I like seeing your Ubuntu set-ups. I hope you do more videos relating to Linux!

Panasonic and JVC make the best camcorders IMO.

sony's a ripoff. I would avoid their overhyped products.
